Don’t roll the dice onyour chance for a

holiday carpet cleaning!

Hi Joel! Q: We just installed new carpeting, because the old carpeting had paths that looked dirty. It would clean up well, but you could always see the paths. Is there a way to avoid wear patterns?A: The main cause of these traffic lanes or wear patterns is the dirt or soiling in the carpeting (that you may not even see). When walked on over time it grinds the carpeting down and damages the fibers. Ways to avoid soiling are: always take your shoes off before stepping on the carpeting; put a rug down at the entry; and, place an outdoor rug in front of the door. I would not suggest putting rugs over carpeting because when you move the rug, the straight wear lines at the edge of the rug will be very noticeable. The best ways to avoid soiling are vacuming frequently and getting your carpet professionally cleaned every 6-12 months. Dirt is always going to find a way into the carpeting but these tips should help prevent wear patterns in your home. Have a flooring question for Joel?

October fun!Can you believe it’s already October? The year 2021 seems to have

flown by – we’re just a few weeks from Christmas! The problem is that October tends to fly by so quickly that, come November and December, we’ll have let it slip by without enjoying what it has to offer. Before the month is up and winter is fully here, why not do one or two fall activi-ties with friends, your kids, your partner, or simply on your own? There are so many ways to delight in the season’s offering both big and small, near or far from home. Here are some fun things to do in October to take advantage of the beautiful weather, seasonal changes, gorgeous foliage, and calm before the holiday storm.

Check out fall foliage: Whether it’s at a park nearby or a drive into the country, look up the best places to see all the gorgeous fall foliage near you.

Go pumpkin picking: Head to a pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkins for an October-themed doorstep or natural fall décor inside. If you’re going with kids, they’ll love being able to choose their favorite pumpkins and take them home to carve.

Go for a hike: There’s nothing like a good hike through nature surrounded by cool, clean air and fall-touched trees.

Tour a haunted house: Love a good scare? Get some friends, find a haunted house nearby and have all kinds of fun. Other spooky options include going on a ghost tour or visiting an old cemetery at night.

Go to a Fall Festival: Go out for a day of hayrides, pumpkin picking, haunted houses, local food stalls, outdoor entertainment, and caramel apples.

There’s plenty more fun ahead for you in October!

• Greater resistance to the common cold

• Better psychological and physical well-being

• Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease

• Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

It’s also thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live health-ier lifestyles — they get more physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and don’t smoke or drink alcohol in excess. You can learn to turn negative thinking into positive thinking. The process is simple, but it does take time and practice. Here are three ways to think and behave in a more positive and optimistic way:

• Identify areas to change. If you want to become more optimistic and engage in more positive thinking, first identify areas of your life that you usually think negatively about, whether it’s work, your daily commute, or a relationship. You can start small by focusing on one area to approach in a more positive way.

• Check yourself. Periodically during the day, stop and evaluate what you’re thinking. If you find that your thoughts are mainly negative, try to find a way to put a positive spin on them.

• Be open to humor. Give yourself permission to smile or laugh, especially during difficult times. Seek humor in everyday happenings. When you can laugh at life, you feel less stressed.

Here is a remarkable website to visit:Free Rice

This is truly a wonderful site through which you can help provide food to people around the world – by simply correctly answering trivia questions!

It’s simple! You go to the Free Rice site to answer trivia questions – and for each answer you get right, the site donates 10 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program.

The United Nations World Food Pro-gram is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and building a better future for people driven into hunger.

Free Rice has donated over 97 billion grains of rice so far – so there are certainly worse things we can be doing when we’re procrastinating around on the internet.

How trick-or-treating becamea Halloween tradition

Why do children dress in costume and knock on the doors of strangers to ask for treats on Halloween? The practice can be traced to the ancient Celts, early Roman Catholics and 17th-century British politics.

Halloween has its roots in the ancient, pre-Christian Celtic festi-val of Samhain, which was celebrated on the night of October 31. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, believed that the dead returned to earth on Samhain. On the sacred night, people gathered to light bon-fires, offer sacrifices, and pay homage to the dead.

During some Celtic celebrations of Samhain, villagers disguised themselves in costumes made of animal skins to drive away phantom visitors; banquet tables were prepared, and food was left out to appease unwelcome spirits.

In later centuries, people began dressing as ghosts, demons, and other malevolent creatures, performing antics in exchange for food and drink. This custom, known as mumming, dates back to the Middle Ages and is thought to be an antecedent of trick-or-treating.

Trick-or-treating—setting off on Halloween night in costume and ringing doorbells to ask for treats—has been a tradition in the United States and other countries for more than a century. Its origins remain murky but as mentioned earlier, traces can be identified in ancient Celt-ic festivals, early Roman Catholic holidays, medieval practices—and even British politics.

Why gamble with your carpets?Your carpet is one of your home’s biggest investments, and it does NOT have to appear dirty to be getting worn out by soils and

dirt. These soils get deep into the carpet and grind away at the fibers, making the appearance of worn out, tired and dingy traffic lanes. Your carpets need to be professionally cleaned every 6-12 months to prevent permanent damage. Besides, dingy traffic lanes and/or dark spills and spots reflect a home that is not so tidy. With all the guests that frequent your home in the holiday season don’t get caught with dirty carpets.

• Clean, fresh, healthy carpet. • You will have one less thing on your checklist in November and December. • You will save $10.00 off your carpet cleaning. • BONUS: Call us anytime before January 31, 2022 to touch up spots and spills for FREE. (A $99.00 value!)
