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!
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!

opportunity with The Manely Firm’s Russian-speaking attorney and clients. “They gave me an opportunity to see if I could do the job and be a part of a TMF team,” she says, “and it’s worked well for both the Firm and me.” In her role as a Paralegal, Ketevan is responsible for ensuring that client’s hopes, dreams, and aspirations are met accordingly and keeping up steady communication between attorney, clients, and the courts. “I like to be behind the curtain and see how everything plays out,” she says. “I get to help prepare the cases so the attorney can take them to court and represent our client’s best interest.” She also enjoys that her job allows her to help other people. “I like talking to clients and hearing their life stories. Once upon a time, they believed their lives were going to be happily ever after — and now they have to find the way to build a new future. Our job is
to determine how we can help them move forward and achieve that desired happily ever after.”
Ketevan was born in the nation of Georgia and grew up in Ukraine. She moved to the U.S. five years ago to be near the rest of her family in the Atlanta area. “We’re a big, loud, happy Georgian family.” She especially enjoys spending time with her 20-month- old nephew, David, and her niece, Mary, who, she jokes, is “9 years old going on 13.” In her spare time, Ketevan likes to find, rehabilitate, and paint old furniture as well as spend quality time with her family and friends, since family is all that matters. “My life is really settled at this point, which I love,” Ketevan says. “I’m glad to work at the firm with these people on these cases, and then have a little energy boost from my big family when I get home.”
Ketevan Mamuliia has been a Junior Paralegal at The Manely Firm for a little over a year, and she came a long way — roughly 6,000 miles — to be where she is today. She is a student at Georgia State University majoring in Criminal Justice and, during her senior year, began to explore careers in law.
