  1. Don't allow your a/c condenser get clogged up with leaves and debris this fall. Attach a wrap around filter (available in several sizes) around the condenser using the elastic cords and hooks included. A wrap around filter is bound to be much less expensive than a service call to clean out the yard debris-or a replacement!

  2. Don't let snow and ice keep you indoors this winter! Roll out an ice/snow carpet and you won't even need to scrape ice off the sidewalk. No need to use salt or chemicals that harm grass and are dangerous for animals.

  3. Another convenient way to beat the icy conditions is to attach shoe ice treads to your shoes - available for men and women. The rubber sling pulls on over each shoe and the stainless steel spikes dig into the ice to prevent slipping and sliding.

  4. Prevent frozen outdoor faucets by installing faucet covers. Foam insulated faucet protectors seal your faucet from the cold and keep it insulated all winter long.

  5. Protect your walk-behind lawn mower from the elements all year long with a lawn mower cover.

  6. Don't forget about your lawn tractor or other lawn equipment. Keep them covered and protected with a Lawn Tractor cover, available in several sizes.

  7. Distribute the heat from your fireplace or wood stove more evenly throughout the house with a room-to-room fan that mounts easily in the corner of your door frame. Won't interfere with door closings. Circulates air in a 10" x 12" room three times per hour.

  8. Replace your floor registers with filter registers. They are rustproof, scratchproof and never need painting. They come with a reusable filter that helps reduce the dust and pollen that blows through registers. These can be rinsed under the faucet periodically, filter and all.

  9. A quick, inexpensive and convenient way to fill your room with fresh scents is to install register filter pads right inside your floor register. They release a fresh, clean fragrance throughout the room every time air blows from the register and trap pollen and dust particles at the same time.

Takeaways
  • You really can organize every aspect of your life by looking at the same old way of doing things in new ways.
  • Organizing the inside AND outside of your home ensures you will always be on top of repairs and know where everything is.
