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, pieces of dust and debris typically go flying around, making 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 your finger along a panel of your blinds and it comes up black? Blinds tend to be huge dust collectors, but are often forgotten when cleaning. 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!
Senior trial attorney George Gridelli isn’t shy about pointing out that he’s the oldest attorney at Cellino Law — it just means he has more experience. His journey began when he finished college and realized he wasn’t passionate about his psychology major. His parents suggested he become a lawyer and even offered to pay for his education. “I had very generous and loving parents,” George notes. “With their help, I went to law school, and I enjoyed it.”
He was admitted to the bar in 1975 but didn’t immediately find his niche. He worked in a district attorney’s office and also had his own practice for 15 years. He handled many different types of cases at his firm, but personal injury law wasn’t yet in the mix. Then George’s aunt had a falling accident at home and broke her hip. “I tried to find another firm to take the case,” he remembers, “but no one really wanted it because she was elderly and couldn’t remember how the accident happened.” Left with few other options, George tried the case himself and won a $795,000 verdict. From there, a passion was born. George has now been in personal injury for over 25 years. He spent 11 of those years at Ross’ old firm, Cellino and Barnes, and has been with Cellino Law since the beginning. “I love being able to help somebody who’s injured,” George says. “When the client is happy, there’s no better feeling.” He’s proud to note that for 25 years, he’s had an AV or “preeminent” rating — the highest possible — in the peer review system attorneys use to rate each other. George has been happily married for over 40 years, with two grown children and two grandchildren. To decompress, he loves playing golf on the weekend. He’s also an amateur magician, which he finds to be a lot of fun. “Every office party or birthday, I’m asked to do a little magic,” he says. “I’m actually learning a new card trick today!” George is quick to point out that he wouldn’t be where he is today without his support staff and paralegal, and he loves the team he works with. “It’s not always easy when your boss is a lot younger than you,” George admits, “but the firm appreciates my talents and respects my opinions. It’s great to work with Ross and the people he has here.”
