  • Guest Article on Self Storage Locations

    Friday, July 2nd, 2010

    Do you think the Founding Fathers of this country ever envisioned a time when people would own so much stuff that they would have to rent space in a building just to store what doesn’t fit in their house?  Storage facilities can be used for anything you can think of, whether it’s storing out of season clothing and sporting equipment, extra pieces of furnitue, baby clothes, books, even something important like your wedding dress.

    Unlike your basement or attic, there are Self Storage Locations that are climate controlled to store delicate items that shouldn’t be exposed to heat. If you inherit a painting or an antique piece of furniture, for example, a climate controlled storage room is a great way to store it until you make room for it in your house.   Bulky seasonal items like winter coats, boots, skis, sleds and other sports equipment can go into a storage locker for the winter if you don’t have room in your house or apartment to easily store them.

    Many homeowners use summer as a time to have remodeling done on their house, and a self storage unit is a great place to store valuable items or get extra pieces of furniture out of the way while work is being done.  Businesses can use self storage locations to store items while moving to new offices, homeowners can use them to store household items while moving as well.

    Anything that needs to be kept safe from damage or theft can be stored easily and safely at a self storage location. They come in a variety of sizes and most give you 24 hour access to your items.  However, read the rental agreement carefully and be on time with payments or you may find that your storage unit has been emptied and the items auctioned off.  You should be able to find a self storage location near you that fits any storage need.

  • Another reason I love Swiffer – the SweeperVac

    Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

    Since the first day I used a Swiffer product, I’ve been a fan. I use the original sweeper, the WetJet, I use the duster with the extendable handle, I use the 360° dusters, I use the regular cleaning cloths. There isn’t a Swiffer product I haven’t tried and loved!

    So, when I got an email from Charlie at MS&L, the man who launched my product review career with that first Swiffer review, asking if I wanted to review a new Swiffer product, I said YES PLEASE. And in the mail came the new Swiffer SweeperVac.

    Swiffer SweeperVac

    The SweeperVac combines the textured dry cleaning cloth of the original sweeper with a cordless, battery-charged vacuum. The cloth gets fine dirt and dust, and the vacuum picks up cereal, large crumbs, leaves, and big dust bunnies :) It works fantastically well on hardwood, linoleum and tiled floors. I no longer use my broom in my kitchen or in the hallways of my house.

    I’ll just admit it – it’s satisfying to empty the see-through dirt cup and see just how much ick I swept up! The only thing I would change about the SweeperVac is the way it charges. I don’t mind that it plugs in to recharge the battery, but it takes 12-18 hours to fully charge. So if I forget to plug it back in after I use it, it’s not always ready when I am. I’m not sure what the solution to that would be, though. I’d much rather plug in a charger than have to replace tons of double A batteries! Of course, it can also be used just as a dry sweeper without having to turn on the vacuum.

    Swiffer SweeperVac gives you a clean you’ll love or your money back. Guaranteed! Visit http://www.swiffer.com/en_US/sweepervac.do to learn more about the money back guarantee. Look for the SweeperVac at a store near you!

    disclosure: I received a Swiffer SweeperVac for this review. If you’re wondering why I’m posting a review when I said no more reviews here, it’s because I agreed to do this one before I made that decision :)
