How To Save Money On Cleaning Services

Last month we announced that we had purchased a Ladybug Steam Cleaner.  Hopefully, the CNN Anderson Cooper video showed you the importance of having your mattress and upholstered furniture steam cleaned.

 

This month we are featuring a video of a tile and grout steam cleaning job.  Watch the video and see all the dirt and grime that comes out as we clean the grout.  With the Ladybug steam cleaner, not only are we cleaning the grout, but we are sanitizing and disinfecting within 6 seconds.  Not only will you have new looking tile and grout, but all of the germs & bacteria that live and multiply within your tile and grout will be gone. 

 

Watch the video below to see how it works!

Let's Talk Turkey
  
Turducken, a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken, is becoming more popular on Thanksgiving (originated in Louisiana). A turducken is a de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken. The cavity of the chicken and the rest of the gaps are filled with, at the very least, a highly seasoned breadcrumb mixture (although some versions have a different stuffing for each bird).
  
There are regional differences as to the "stuffing" (or "dressing") traditionally served with the turkey. Southerners generally make theirs from cornbread, while in other parts of the country white bread is the base. One or several of the following may be added: oysters, apples, chestnuts, raisins, celery and/or other vegetables, sausage or the turkey's giblets.
  
Here's one of the most unbelievable Thanksgiving facts: The Guinness Book of Records states that the greatest dressed weight recorded for a turkey is 39.09 kg (86 lbs), at the annual "heaviest turkey" competition held in London, England on December 12, 1989.
