Despite their good intentions and best efforts, Americans doing their spring cleaning might make the home look or smell better on the surface, but vacuuming and cleaning machines only remove some of the dirt, dust and particulates that cause allergic reactions.  In a recent national poll commissioned by Stanley Steemer, the nation’s largest deep cleaning service, nearly half of respondents predicted spending less than four hours total on this year’s spring cleaning.  But only 19 percent reported having ever used a professional for cleaning.

To combat this difficult allergy season this spring plus truly make your homes clean, consumers should consider a deeper cleaning twice a year by the professionals at Stanley Steemer.

• Not just for carpet cleaning, Stanley Steemer’s expertise extends to hardwood, tile, air ducts, water damage restoration, and more!
• Stanley Steemer’s proprietary equipment and cleaning processes remove more than 98% of dry soil from floors
• With over 70 branches  and 220 franchise locations in 48 states, Stanley Steemer services 95% of the country

For me and my family we know the importance of really getting our floors clean. When we had dogs we did deep cleaning once a year with Stanley Steemer, to get all the grim and hair out of the carpets. My sister needs to do a deep cleaning of her home due to allergies with cats and Stanley Steemer is the way she has gone. You really do not know just how dirty your carpets can be until you see them clean and brand new looking after Stanley Steemer has been through. I recommend this company to everyone and there is no better time than now to get some spring cleaning done!

Creativity matters. It’s a skill that all children can learn and when it’s practiced every day, kids become the critical thinkers, problem solvers, and leaders in the classroom, and they’re better prepared for professions of the 21st century.

Earlier in the week I told you all about a great chat with musician Lisa Loeb and today I want to share that with you in case you missed it.

Take Lisa’s Silly Sing-Along with you wherever you go and get the high-spirited good times started. Includes a 10-song CD recorded by Lisa!

Creativity is something that is very important to express with my kids. I love handing my daughter a blank piece of paper and see what she draws and writes. All three of my kids love to color, draw scenes of rolling hills and beaches and they are all so creative! Their love of art makes me happy and making their own art with Crayola products is very important to them.

When our troops are called to serve, their families must rise to meet the challenges of service as well. It can’t be easy but Cheerios has a brilliant thing going on! To thank them all, Cheerios and the USO have partnered in a postcard campaign that spreads Cheer directly to these honorable military families and supports USO programs. Here’s how it works:

• During the months of October and November, 2011, specially-marked boxes of Cheerios cereal will feature Cheer postcards on the front of the box. Consumers can simply cut out the postcard from the Cheerios logo, write a message of thanks on the back, add a stamp and mail the pre-addressed card to the USO. The USO will deliver the Cheer card to military families across the country.
• For each postcard received through November 2012, Cheerios will make a $1 donation to the USO to help fund programs that support military families.
• To kick off the campaign, Cheerios has already donated $150,000 to the USO and will donate up to an additional $100,000 based upon the number of postcards received from specially marked boxes now through November 30th, 2012.

Sending a “Cheer” postcard is a simple way to say thanks and lift the spirits of our country’s military families. So, take a moment out of your day to spread some Cheer and send a message of thanks!

And to help out with that I have a giveaway for one Dirty t Shirt reader to win the prize pack shown below.
