From wall stains to washing machines, indoor stains and smells can be a challenge to tackle. Luck-ily, there are surprisingly simple methods to erase them for good. Here are a few tips to freshen up the most stubborn spots in your home.

ConCeal wall stains with primer

Have your kids made artwork of your walls, or has your leaky roof caused a water-damaged mess? Tough wall stains like these can be hard to get rid of, but are easily sealed by applying a high-quality, stain-blocking primer.

eliminate refrigerator odors

Refrigerators are subject to a variety of spills and odors. Making time for fridge maintenance can help prevent unusual odors and keep your food fresh longer. To cleanse and polish your fridge, begin by emptying the contents of your fridge and throwing out, recycling or composting any food that is ex-pired or beginning to smell.

Next, pull out any removable drawers or shelving and place them in the sink. Using a damp, soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge, wipe down these pieces, the interior of your fridge and the door with a multi-purpose cleaner. Or, mix two tablespoons of baking soda with one quart of hot water for a natural soap alternative. Don’t forget the seams of the shelves and rubber door seal.

If your fridge requires an extra-deep cleaning, unplug it while you work to avoid wasting energy. Before putting all of your food back into the fridge, wipe down the exterior of each jar or container with a damp cloth. Repeat this process every two or three months for the best results.

make grout lines shine

Tile surfaces are prone to dirt and debris, espe-cially in bathrooms or high-traffic areas. To keep tile looking fresh and new, grab an old toothbrush or electric toothbrush for a deeper scrub. Before you start, wash the surface with water then mix two parts baking soda with one part water. Scrub the resulting paste into the cracks and crevices, then douse with water again. If the grout lines are stained, spray a mixture of equal parts vinegar and warm water onto the area and brush. After a final rinse, the grime will be gone.

prevent a moldy washing maChine

If you own a front-loading washing machine, you’ve probably noticed the unpleasant smell that can linger after completing a load of laundry. De-spite being more energy-efficient, these machines have a tendency to hold odors and harbor mold. To clean and prevent grimy buildup, try this: instead of detergent, cycle two cups of vinegar and a quar-ter-cup of baking soda on a hot setting. When it’s done, use a clean sponge to scrub down the inside. Finally, rinse with a plain-water cycle, and you’ll see (and smell) the results.

Whether in the kitchen, bathroom or laundry room, tricky stains and odors in your home can be a tough job, but with these four tips you’ll be able to eliminate a few messy tasks in no time.

Weekend projects to transform your homeSome home renovation projects require the expertise of professionals, but there also are many ways for homeowners to improve their homes without hiring a pro or spending too much money. The following are a handful of DIY renovation projects homeowners can tackle in a typical weekend.

Closet Conversion

Ample closet space is a big plus for home buyers, but upon moving into a new home, many homeowners may find they don’t need as much closet space as they initially thought. Guest room walk-in closets, in particular, may prove to be under utilized resources. Such closets often come with built-in shelving, and therefore, they make ideal spaces to convert to mini home offices or study areas for kids.

Installing an extra shelf to serve as a desk area for remote working or homework stations won’t take up much of a Saturday or Sunday after-noon, and before you know it, you will have a fully functioning work-space.

ACCent wAll

Accent walls can liven up a room by breaking the colour pattern of the walls in the room. Accent walls also can be used to divert attention on a particular design element in a room, such as a painting or an elaborate wall furnishing. Painting an accent wall won’t take very long, but such a project can give a room an entirely new look and feel.

DrivewAyIf weather permits, repaving an asphalt driveway can be an ideal week-

end project, especially if an existing driveway has endured its fair share of wear and tear. Many driveways can be paved anew in a single day, but larger driveways or those that have endured an extraordinary amount of wear and tear may take a couple of days.

storAge AnD shelving

Much like some homes come with an abundance of storage areas, oth-ers fall short of homeowners’ or apartment dwellers’ storage needs. If your home or apartment falls into the latter category, adding some shelving or finding some new furniture that can serve double duty as storage areas is a weekend project that can help clear up some space.

Purchase some wood shelving from a furniture retailer to mimic the look of traditional built-ins or replace existing single-use furniture with newer items capable of serving multiple functions.

Art

If the rooms and hallways in your home are bare or in need of new looks but your budget is tight, try your hand at spicing things up by creating some of your own paintings. Parents can encourage kids to create their own colourful masterpieces. Frame the finished works and hang them on the wall and enjoy your inexpensive and homemade “art gallery.”

— MS

The easiest way to update a room is with an accent wall. Whether you prefer brights or dark colours, an accent wall breaks up the neutrals and can be painted over just as easily when you want to change things up.

Safety tips for a fun summerSummertime allows homeowners the

opportunity to spend quality time outdoors. While the warm weather brings along lots of outdoor enjoyment, there are also potential dangers to be avoid. By planning ahead and taking precautions you can ensure safety hazards don’t spoil your fun. The following summer safety advice is courtesy of the Ontario Real Estate Association and your local REALTOR.

Grill safetySummertime means backyard barbecues. But,

grilling on or near combustible areas can be a fi re hazard. The most common grilling hazards are open fl ames and heat generated in the grill base that can be transferred to the wood of a porch, deck or siding, causing a fi re. When grilling, follow these safety tips:

• Place the grill away from siding, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches

• Periodically remove grease or fat buildup• Use only proper starter fl uid and store the

can away from heat sources• Check propane cylinder hoses for leaks

before use• Do not move hot grills• Dispose of charcoal properly, keeping

ash containers outside and away from combustible construction

Water safetyStay safe on the water this year whether it be

swimming in a backyard pool or in a lake. The Canadian Red Cross offers swimming lessons and water safety courses for people of all ages. Here are a few water safety tips from the Red Cross. For more information visit www.redcross.ca.

• Learn to swim. The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim--this includes adults and children.

• Never leave a child unobserved around water. Your eyes must be on the child at all times. Adult supervision is recommended.

• Install a phone by the pool or keep a cordless phone nearby so that you can call 9-1-1 in an emergency.

• Learn Red Cross CPR and insist that babysitters, grandparents, and others who care for your child know CPR.

• Enclose the pool completely with a self-locking, self-closing fence with vertical bars. Openings in the fence should be no more than four inches wide. If the house is part of the barrier, the doors leading from the house to the pool should remain locked and be protected with an alarm that produces sounds when the door is unexpectedly opened.

• Never leave furniture near the fence that would enable a child to climb over the fence.

• Always keep basic lifesaving equipment by the pool and know how to use it. Pole, rope, and personal fl otation devices (PFDs) are recommended.

• Keep toys away from the pool when it is not in use. Toys can attract young children into the pool.

• Pool covers should always be completely removed prior to pool use.

• If a child is missing, check the pool fi rst. Go to the edge of the pool and scan the entire pool, bottom, and surface, as well as the surrounding pool area.

Sun safetyProtect yourself and your family against

sunburn and the potential risk of skin cancer by following a few simple tips:

• Apply sunscreen with at least a SPF-15 or higher, to all exposed areas of the body

• Minimize your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10:00AM and 3:00PM, when the sun is strongest

• Reapply sunscreen every two hours, even on cloudy days and especially after swimming or perspiring.

• Wear clothing that covers your body and shades your face -- like a hat!

• Avoid exposure to UV radiation from sun-lamps or tanning parlors.

Bug safetyThe Ontario Ministry of Health is urging

people to protect themselves against the threat of West Nile Virus. The best way to avoid this potentially dangerous virus is to avoid being bitten by infected mosquitoes. Here are a few practical suggestions to lower your risk:

• Clean up and empty containers of stagnant water, such as old tires, fl ower pots, wheelbarrows, barrels or tin cans that are outdoors. Drill holes in the bottoms of used containers so water can’t collect. Change water in bird baths weekly.

• Collect lawn cuttings, raked leaves or other decaying debris, such as apples or berries that fall from trees, and recycle or mulch so

that organic matter does not end up in storm sewers as a food source for mosquito larvae. Turn over compost frequently.

• Check window screens for holes and make sure they fi t snugly into the window frame so mosquitoes will not get indoors. If you don’t have screens, consider keeping windows closed between dusk and dawn.

• Make sure you wear light-coloured clothing such as long-sleeved shirts or jackets and long pants. Tuck pants into socks for extra protection when going outside between dusk and dawn.

• Use insect repellent containing DEET that has been approved for use in Canada (It will have a PCP number on the front label) and follow directions for use carefully.
