Take some simple steps to get your garage cleaned and organized.  Start early in the day.  Empty the garage in order to clean effectively.  Try to get the help of the children so they can see how to keep items in order.  Sort out anything not needed, store what you want to save, recycle items, and donate unwanted items to a charity of your choice.

Measure and  plan your  space accordingly.  Rather than have scattered equipment on the floor, organize and group items together. Bikes, bike helmets, soccer or basketball equipment, golf and sporting goods, fishing rods, skiing in one section; all lawn and garden supplies and equipment in another section. Use wall hooks for bikes and garden supplies, peg boards for tools, storage bins and plastic containers for items that need to be stored. Label all items so you can easily find what you need. A shoe rack will help keep the shoes, sneakers, boots, and other footwear neat and in order and easy to find.

We want our children to grow to be responsible adults. When children learn responsibility it boosts their independence and self esteem.  Responsibilities can be geared to your child’s skill level.  Toddlers and pre-school ages imitate and learn from those around them.  They use sensory experience and like playfulness. You can start with a safe environment that will take some planning.   Remove potential hazards, cover electrical outlets, locks to secure cabinet doors and drawers, put breakables out of reach, don’t leave cords hanging, cover stove controls, cook on back burners, use a safety gate, put tablecloths out of grabbing reach, leave medication and cleaning products out of reach and keep emergency numbers near the phone. 

Make clean up fun, put music on and sing songs.  Before vacuuming and dusting have the kids pick up toys and clutter from the floor.  Use bins with different pictures to sort the toys, legos, blocks, trucks, stuffed animals, etc.  Kids love to use spray bottles and sponges to help with the cleaning, use friendly non toxic cleaning agents.

Young school children can follow directions. The adult presence and encouragement is helpful. For chores they like sweeping, mopping, dusting, and vacuuming. They can clear their plate and get them into the routine to pick up their toys and books. Have goals to work towards, the quality will not be the same as adults work but this will establish a good work ethic.  You can use a chart with stickers to encourage and reward them.

Older children can do chores independently. Sometimes parents nagging, pleading, bribing doesn’t work and parents decide it is just easier to do it yourself.  Start early to get the kids into a routine and lead by example.  Have a job jar where the kids can pick out their job for the week or a clearly defined list for them to check off.  An allowance can be an incentive for chores done and can teach the teen to learn money management skills.  Earning extra money for work such as mowing the lawn, cleaning the rugs, cleaning the basement or garage or babysitting younger siblings can also be included in the allowance.

If you start when they are young enough your children will grow up with organization and structure in their life.

eVacuumStore.com has added to its online vacuum cleaner arsenal a large selection of dynamic and versatile machines designed and manufactured for Car Washes and large commercial or industrial businesses in need of heavy duty stationary cleaning equipment. Because of their size, their pay-to-use coin slot features, and their power, the design of these machines yielded the realization that they would have to be immobile to function efficiently, which, serving as a blessing in disguised, has allowed them to include multiple diverse features in one machine. These features include a fragrance tool, spot remover, shampooer, hot air dryer, tire shiner, and others, qualifying the Car Wash and Industrial Vacuums for a number of different purposes, environments, and businesses. Together, these machines make up a unique line of vacuums from the industrial vacuum cleaner manufacturer J.E. Adams, for whom eVacuumStore.com is a major distributor.

Most of the J.E. Adams Vacuum Cleaner machines accept coin deposits for customer use, and many of those models also accept bills, which displays the intention of having these machines installed at Car Washes, gas stations, automobile repair shops, etc., where the customer can pay directly for a duration of time with the vacuum in operation. However, their versatility and mercurial abilities put them in a unique position to not just be commercial commodities that the car owner can use briefly in the parking lot, but also a priceless piece of equipment for rental car businesses, car dealerships, automobile manufacturers that need to clean the cars before shipping them out, large factories and plants that use automobiles to get around, and the list goes on. Sometimes a central vacuum system is too much or too residential for the needs of these commercial and industrial organizations, and until recently the car wash vacuums weren’t always seen as the best option for an all-purpose industrial and commercial cleaning machine but with the wide and seamless spectrum of vacuum cleaner machines now available from manufacturers like J.E. Adams, it is now clear that they are equipped for more than just cleaning out cars on their way through the car wash parking lot.

It has come to our attention that that one of our competitors is selling a vacuum cleaner for $1,000,000 which they claim to be gold plated.  The weight of this vacuum cleaner if only 16 lbs and there are 16 ounces in a pound.  The current market price of an ounce of gold  is $1570 as of 6/27/2012.  When you break down the math, the vacuum cleaner weighs 256 ounces and therefore the current gold value of a solid gold machine would be $401,920.  Since our competitor sells a gold plated vacuum cleaner the value would be significantly less so therefore this vacuum cleaner is not worth its weight in gold!  As the old Latin saying goes “Caveat Emptor, let the buyer beware.”
