FALL?! Where did summer go? Seriously, I feel like summer went by in a blink of an eye. My family sure enjoyed being out and about this summer. We enjoyed the beach, the lake, bonfires and many, many barbeques. We celebrated Little Dude’s first birthday, Princess Peach’s 3rd birthday, and The Hubster and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. That’s a whole-lot-of-fun if you ask me! We made a ton of fabulous memories but sadly it’s back to the grind. I think I’m in denial that my sandal wearing days are numbered if not over at this point. Toronto is COLD!
Although it’s still technically summer (doesn’t feel like it though), Church & Dwight has some fabulous tips for getting ready for fall around your house:
Clean up and close up: With summer winding down, get a head start on readying your patio or cottage for fall. Wipe down lawn furniture, the BBQ and summer toys before storing them for the year. ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda provides a safe and gentle alternative to chemical cleaning products to effectively combat summer dirt and grime, leaving everything clean for next summer.
Organize the garage: Having emptied the garage of all the toys, bikes and lawn furniture over the warmer months, it’s the perfect time to organize in preparation for storage over the fall. Organize your loose tools, equipment and toys by creating a practical storage system. Use large transparent plastic bins with labels to make things easy to find. Install ceiling hooks to hang bikes and hang shelves along the wall for a convenient, space saving way to organize.
Freshen up your home: After a few months of outdoor mess being tracked through your house by pets, your carpets could probably use some freshening up. Countless swims and runs through the mud will leave an unpleasant scent that’s hard to get rid of. Try, ARM & HAMMER™ Plus OxiClean™ Carpet & Room Odour Eliminator – Pet Fresh. This vacuum booster has the strength of baking soda to neutralize scent along with OxiClean™ Dirt Fighters to help lift away pet hair and up to 25% more dirt than vacuuming alone.
Transition your wardrobe: The change in season means a change in wardrobe too. Packing up all your summer clothes can be a daunting task, but ARM & HAMMER™ Plus OxiClean™ Crystal Burst™ Power Paks can help make things a little easier! These dissolving single dose Power Paks have the added stain-fighting power of OxiClean™, leaving your clothes fresh and stain free for next summer!
