At the risk of losing business, for this is what I do… now is a great time to take a little time each day to choose a drawer, cabinet, under sink, and organize it.  Purge and maybe move things around to where they make more sense.  A family garage day is fun and necessary before it gets too hot.  Sweep out the corners, the dead bugs, and evaluate what you need to keep.  Or not.  Are those bikes too small for your growing kids?  Are the deflated balls inflatable?  And those freebie cups, straws and water bottles, are they safe and clean?  While at it, clean out the inside of your car.  Vacuum out the car seat and disinfect it.

When the task is complete the entire family can go for a bike ride.  Reward for job well-done. 

Growing up in the Midwest where salt was used on icy roads, it was common practice to never wear shoes in the home.  We saw how the salt eroded our cars, and there was no way we wanted that on our carpet or hardwood floors.  I kept that practice anywhere I have ever lived as a germ preventative.

I like to wear sox or bare feet in my house, so why would I want the dirt from shoes on my floors?  Have you ever looked at the soles of your shoes?  Ewwww.  With Covid-19 invading our lives, it is more important than ever to LEAVE YOUR SHOES AT THE DOOR!  Keep your floors clean and disinfected often. Swiffer products are great and I love my “spin mop” for wet mopping.  You will be so pleased with clean floors, shoeless may become a way of life.
