You Can Use WHAT to Tidy Up?!
4 DEEP-CLEANING HACKS TO PREP FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Prepping for the holidays is exciting and fun, but it requires tons of planning, cooking, decorating, and cleaning. To avoid getting bogged down while preparing for cheerful celebrations with friends and family, try these easy ways to get your house sparkling clean and ready to host. Roll the Ceilings When it comes to ceilings, especially if they are textured, thoroughly cleaning off dust, dander, and cobwebs can be challenging. When you use a broom, chunks typically go flying around and make a larger mess. However, if you whip out a painting roller, dampen it, and roll your ceilings just like you are painting, you are sure to get the job done! Socks on Your Hands Have you ever run a finger along a panel of your blinds and it comes up black? Blinds tend to be huge dust collectors. By throwing some socks on your hands, you can get back to clean blinds. All you have to do is find a pair of old socks, “glove up,” and dampen them. From there, if you grip each individual blind panel and slide your hand along the length of it, you will gather tons of nasty dirt and dust onto the sock. Cleaning Balls Utilizing tennis balls for your house chores may sound strange. However, when drying a bulky bed comforter in your dryer, adding a few tennis balls
will ensure the stuffing does not gather all to one side. The balls help keep everything nice and even.
Pillowcases and Fans Your ceiling fans collect all of the nasties — dirt, dust, bugs, and allergens. For an easy way to clean them without spreading all the grime around your home, turn to old pillowcases! Simply slip the pillowcase over each individual fan blade and then wipe. All of the debris will end up in the pillowcase itself.
A clean home is the key to happy living and is paramount for hosting over the holidays. With these tricks up your sleeve, you are now a cleaning expert!

OUR NEWEST ADDITION TO THE TEAM
lifelong dream. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent collapse of the airline industry, I realized the importance of family as a support system, and that's why I recently moved to San Diego, where my sister and nephews live. I have always been intrigued by how the human body works, and having been a high school athlete and now a Brazilian jiujitsu practitioner and competitor, I have had my fair share of injuries and setbacks. I've been in and out of physiotherapy since I was 15, but I’ve never thought of it as a possible career to pursue
until now. I appreciate the work physiotherapy does to restore the body so that one can return to their favorite hobbies or just being able to perform daily routines again after suffering an injury or going through surgery. I'm really happy to start this new journey at North County Water and Sports Therapy Center, where I am sure to learn more about the PT world. I love learning languages, reading about philosophy, falling off my new surfboard (still learning!), playing with my two nephews, and practicing jiujitsu. I look forward to helping and will be here for you!
