New window treatments will upgrade your interior and make your home more functional. Take advantage of the knowledge and experience of home professionals to find the perfect window coverings for your lifestyle. Ask the following questions to ensure that you are getting the products you want and need:

• Which Style Is the Best for Me?
  With a variety of blinds, shades, and sheers from which to choose, it can be difficult narrowing down your selection. The experts are there to help you decide which of these stylish and convenient window treatments will best meet your needs. If you want superior light control and privacy, blinds might be the best choice for you. Sheers, on the other hand, offer you privacy without hindering your use of natural light in the home.
• What Brands Do You Carry?
  Purchasing window treatments that come from a reputable brand name is a great way to guarantee that you are making a smart investment in the future of your home. Hunter Douglas, Prestige, and Levelour are some of the most recognized names in the industry, so be sure to ask your home professional which brands they carry.
• When Can I Get An Appointment?
  Window covering professionals should work around your schedule to bring you the products you want. See if they can come to your house to show you the difference between brands, styles, and colors, so you can make an informed decision when you buy. You should also be able to have your window treatments installed during the day or evening, or even on the weekend.

Wood floors are a beautiful addition to your home, and with the proper care, they will remain attractive for many years. Knowing how to properly mop your hardwood will help your floor retain its beauty and shine for years to come.

Watch this video for techniques on properly mopping a floor. Before mopping, vacuum or sweep the floor first. Use a cleaning solution that is safe for wood, and use a mop to push and pull soap along the floor, staying with the direction of the wood grain. Mop again with just water to get rid of soap residue, and let the floor dry completely.

A few times a month, use a dust mop and a good hardwood floor cleaner to really get your bamboo floors shiny and attractive.
