It’s not easy to clean up a home. There are so many things that need to be wiped down, disinfected or downright washed. The good news is that with a little effort, you can do it.
This article will provide some house-cleaning tips that you can use to stay focused on getting your residence up to par.
1. Make Your Bed Every Day
You may not think much of making your bed, but it’s the #1 indicator of whether a person is tidy or not. Think about it, if you don’t clean your most private quarters, can you be expected to have neat surroundings outside of that?
Another reason to make up your bed every day is that it gives you a sense of accomplishment regardless of whatever else you do that day.
Also, making up your bed is a great self-esteem builder, even when you live alone.
2. Wipe Down The Ceiling Fan Blades
One of the most overlooked areas of the living room (or any room) is the ceiling fan. The blades typically collect dust after about three months of use.
If you have a home where you leave the front or back door open more often, your ceiling fan may get dusty around five weeks at a time.
Get yourself a microfiber towel and wipe down your ceiling fan blades about every month to keep them clean.
3. Use A Bleach Pen To Clean Grout
The bathroom is oftentimes one of the most dirty areas of the home. Not only does the tub need constant attention, but after a while you’ll notice that your bathroom tiles will stain due to soap scum.
The way to tackle the dirt on your bathroom tiles and especially along the grout lines is to use a bleach pen.
4. Stock Up On Furnace Filters
Your air conditioner may work fine now, but if you don’t regularly change the filters, it won’t forever.
You should change your AC filters every three months for optimum performance, although it won’t kill you if you do it every six months.
To save time and money, why not buy several air filters at one time? Remember, you’ll always need them.
5. Use Baking Soda For Tough Stains
If you find that our name-brand cleaners aren’t doing the job, try baking soda.
Not only is baking soda a key ingredient in many cleaners today, it’s sort of a secret weapon when it comes to getting entrenched stains out of different types of fabrics.
Final Words
The key to having a clean home is to not put off what you can do today for tomorrow. Small tasks can turn into mountains if you continue to delay.
Tackle the smaller tasks first, then graduate to the larger items on your list. If you keep at it, the job will be done in no time.
If you clean better with music, put on some headphones and get lost in tidying up your home.

Pinky Cole, the empress of Atlanta’s vegan food empire known as Slutty Vegan recently got $25 million in Series A funding from Danny Meyer’s Enlightened Hospitality Investments and Richelieu Dennis’ New Voices Fund, AtlantaFi.com has learned.
Meyer is the proprietor of Shake Shack, which partnered with Cole’s Slutty Vegan in 2021 to offer a burger with the vegan restaurant’s signature sauce, has been a big fan of the Slutty Vegan chain since being introduced to it a year earlier.
“I had never seen vegan food presented in such a fun way,” Meyer told Forbes. “Leaders are often defined by the degree to which people want to follow them, and I saw people following the leader.”
Cole, who routinely brings her food truck to U.S. cities to test the market, has been in the expansion mood for more than two years now.
The former TV producer made the leap into the food business in 2018 when she started a food truck that sold “vegan junk food.”
In 2019, she opened her first brick-and-mortar eatery in Atlanta’s historic Westview neighborhood on the city’s southwest side.
Now she’s a multi-millionaire with major expansion plans, including plans to open up 10 restaurant locations this year and another 10 next year.

Among the treasures that screened at the Atlanta Film Festival was She Keeps Me, a short directed by Erica Orofino.
The film won Best Canadian Short (2022) at the Pendance film festival in Toronto and is currently making the rounds in the festival circuit.
She Keeps Me Screens At Atlanta Film Festival
She Keeps Me is about a woman, Alessandra (Rachel Daganais), who acts as the caretaker for her sister Lena (Katarina Keca), who struggles with mental illness. While Alessandra tries to be there for her sister, the film captures the nearly helpless position caretakers find themselves in when there’s little to no support.
We were able to talk to Orofino about the film as well as how she started in the business. Below is an edited transcript of our interview.
Where are you originally from and how did you get into filmmaking?I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec but have been living in Toronto, Ontario for 10 years now. I went to film school at York University and started working in production after I graduated. I’ve always known directing is what I wanted to do, though, and I started directing films in 2016.“She Keeps Me” is an awesome short. What motivated you to tackle mental illness as the subject matter?Thank you! I’m really interested in stories about mental illness; it’s something that’s affected me my whole life, as someone who has both lived with it and also been in a caretaker role. I think stories like this bring people together, and make people feel seen.What message do you think a caretaker for someone suffering from mental illness can take from the film?I don’t know if there’s a direct message, I think what the film is saying to caretakers is “I see you, you’re not alone, I know it’s hard, and there is no right or wrong way.”As an art form, what advantages would you say filmmaking has over other forms like music or visual art?Filmmaking engages all the senses! I guess other than taste or smell or touch. But the best films can even make you physically feel things, and engage those senses too.What’s next for you as a director?I have two shorts in post-production right now, and I’m doing lots of music videos, I have another short drama I’m hopefully doing in the fall. So much going on! Lots of good things.(End of interview.)The Atlanta Film Festival was a truly refreshing experience and I highly recommend it.

One of the most attractive places to live in Georgia is the Atlanta-area. The region boasts some of the best weather, a vibrant economy and plenty of things to do.
The first thing you need to decide is whether you want a house or an apartment in Georgia and the Atlanta area.
Look for apartments that don’t do credit checks on potential tenants. That way, it’s easier to find a place.
You’re also going to want to entice the landlord by offering to pay more upfront or even every month.
After you’ve gotten a place to live, you’ll want to get a job (if you don’t already have one). With most people, they have a job, but want a better one.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has done away with its mask mandate, following trends around the nation as COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to plummet.
Delta was one of the strictest airlines when it came to health protocols at the height of the pandemic, even reserving an open-middle seat policy.
Delta Says Masks Are Now Optional On Its Flights
Customers and employees alike are free to continue to wear masks, which offer protection against aerosols, the company said.
Delta warned that although it’s policy is in line with White House recommendations, many other businesses around the airport may be slow to get on the same page.
“Given the unexpected nature of this announcement, please be aware that customers, airline employees and federal agency employees, such as TSA, may be receiving this information at different times,” the airline said in an announcement on its website. Y”ou may experience inconsistent enforcement during the next 24 hours as this news is more broadly communicated – remember to show understanding and patience with others who may not be aware enforcement is no longer required. Communications to customers and in-airport signage and announcements will be updated to share that masking is now optional – this may take a short period of time.”
Do I Still Need To Wear A Mask When Out In Atlanta, Georgia?
The CDC along with the City of Atlanta have released guidance advocating that masks no longer have to be worn indoors as well as outdoors in crowded areas.
The CDC also said that masks are now optional on public transportation, which spurred Delta to make its announcement.
Gov. Brian Kemp passed laws that ban a mask mandate, so the local restrictions are limited in how far they apply.
Earlier in the year, the CDC caused controversy when it came out with the following guidance:
Final Word
You no longer have to pack your masks when taking a flight on Delta. Keep in mind that when you’re traveling abroad, mask mandates may still be in effect.
Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.
Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interested in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.
