  Cleaning Your Office While sitting at a desk over sustained stretches of time, we do a lot more than just work. We chew, sneeze, cough, touch and spill – day after day. It’s no wonder that home offices quickly become a microbial zoo. On top of the germs lies the clutter and mess from our busy lives that needs to be organized and cleaned. Dust.  Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down all surfaces. Remove your papers, file folders, calendars, stapler and other objects so you can wipe down your desk. Don’t overlook areas like power strips behind your desk, fan blades, window sills, the top of your monitor or the tops of picture frames. Vacuum.  Work top to bottom. You should alternate between the upholstery brush, narrow attachment, and carpet attachment to thoroughly vacuum each and every surface on your desk and in your office. Pay attention to the areas you dusted, and vacuum up any loose dust the cloth didn’t capture. Disinfect.  Sitting at our desks, we do lots...

  DO I NEED GUTTER GUARDS?    Most definitely,clogged gutters are a big deal. Seriously. You’re better off with   no   gutters than   clogged gutters because clogged gutters will cause overflowing gutters. This leads to water intrusion, rotted soffits, rotted fascia, and all other kinds of bad stuff you don’t want at your home.     If you have large trees near your home, you need a plan to keep your gutters clean. The traditional methods are to either work off a ladder or walk on the roof, but I can’t decide which one is more dangerous. I actually had a client bring  his own  ladder to an inspection once, so he could clean out the gutters at the distressed home he was buying. He reached too far, his ladder tipped over, and he took a nasty fall.    Customary Professionals understands the complications of maintaining flowing gutters. Along with dirt, pine needles, insects even snakes nesting in your gutters. We have started to im...

  How to Keep Your Student Loan Payment at $0 Ryan Lane February 8, 2021, 12:01 pm President Biden announced on Jan. 20 that most federal student loan payments would be  suspended interest-free through September 2021  due to the ongoing pandemic. Once the suspension lifts, though, a $0 payment still may be a necessity for some borrowers.
