Spring Cleaning in Eco-Friendly Ways

Wellness has never been more important than it is today. Living in a tidy and organized home can have a major impact on your emotional and physical health. We have all spent 2020 cooped up at home and many of us have probably let things slip. Let’s make 2021 a fresh start with a great spring cleaning in your 803 Corday Apartment.

The Mental Health Benefits of a Clean Home

There are clear and measurable mental health benefits of a clean home. A clean home relieves stress. Recent studies have shown that people who regularly spend time cleaning their homes are more relaxed and happier than people that don’t. Clean homes boost productivity. Experts agree that keeping your home organized with everything in its place has a significant impact on personal productivity. Clean homes can help you stay active. Studies show that people who spend time cleaning their homes exercise more often than people that don’t.

Ways to Go Green with Your Cleaning Process

Most of us want a clean home without contributing unnecessarily to climate change, so it’s very important that we follow green practices during our spring cleaning. The good news is that there are several easy tips you can follow to do just that. First, since many products are not safe for kids or pets, make sure you are using basic safety when storing and handling cleaning products. With that out of the way, it’s important to target green cleaning products. Baking soda is great as a gritty base for scrubbing. Vinegar is great as a disinfectant and for loosening dirt. Lemon juice is also a powerful disinfectant and it’s excellent with grease. As a pro tip, you can use all three together. Adding lemon or vinegar activates baking soda with a mild acid to really improve its cleaning power.

Local Stores for Cleaning Material or Cleaning Services for Hire

Things are starting to open up in Naperville in 2021! Target and Walmart are chock full of great cleaning materials. Need a hand with your spring cleaning? Check out Two Maids Naperville and their 5 Star Reviews. They are a solid local cleaning service.

Spring 2021 is going to be all about a fresh start, which starts with a clean home. Having a clean home will really help with your mental and emotional health. This year, you can have one without hurting the environment and visiting your local stores will help them get off to a strong start, too. Have a great time making that clean, orderly, and organized house a reality this year!

Celebrating Halloween at The Grand

Two skeletons in front of halloween decorations lit by neon lights

October in Kansas City, MO is one of the special times of year. The days are still warm enough to wear short sleeve shirts, but the nights can leave you shivering for something warm. There’s one night in particular that leaves people shivering in fear and anticipation. Halloween this year in Kansas City, MO is going to be a little bit different due to the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun when you celebrate Halloween at The Grand.

How To Decorate Your Apartment

Naturally, you want to decorate in a way that doesn’t leave holes in the walls. You can do this by taking advantage of Command Strips and string or Velcro removable wall fasteners. Tie a knot around the command strip hook with a piece of string, and then attach the other end to the decoration. Then simply cover the string or yarn with banners, fake cobwebs, or other decorations.

How To Celebrate At Home

While it’s inadvisable to go door to door or go on hayrides and risk contracting the virus, there are plenty of ways to celebrate Halloween in Kansas City, MO at The Grand. One Cincinnati citizen created a candy chute that went down the railing of his front steps. He drops the treats at the top, and children hold up their buckets at the other end. You could also do a remote controlled socially-distanced candy delivery.

Another great way to celebrate Halloween is with non-alcoholic drinks, such as Dragon’s Blood Punch Hot Buttered Cider or Monster Gut Punch. Don’t forget about the creepy music.
