A lot of people spend long hours at the office sitting in front of their office desks. If you are one of these people, your office desk chair is probably where you are several hours every day. This is the reason why it is important to choose a good quality chair even if it is a cheap office chair. Your body should be comfortable and well supported during your long hours of work.

With the number of hours that you use your office chair, it is also not surprising that you will have to clean and maintain it regularly if you want it to last a long time. Extending the life of your office desk chair simply means that you will not have to replace it frequently, saving you the cost of a new discount chair. Below are some tips to help you in cleaning and maintaining your office desk chair.

· Clean your office desk chair regularly. The primary thing you need to do to be able to keep your chair in good quality is to clean it regularly. This is particularly important if you are the type who eats or drinks at the desk because food particles or liquids might splatter onto your office chair.

· Blot any spills immediately. For office chairs with fabric upholstery, do not wipe spills on your chair. Instead, dab or blot the spill using a paper towel. If more than a little amount of liquid seeps through the chair, you may use warm water with a little detergent to clean the fabric gently. If your chair has leather upholstery, you can simply wipe any spills with a damp cloth.

· Use leather cleaner. If your office chair has leather upholstery, you can use a leather cleaner to wipe the chair every once in a while. A leather cleaner is very easy to purchase and inexpensive.

· Tighten the mesh. If your office chair is made of mesh, then it is ideal that you regularly tighten the mesh using its web-tension knob. Having a well tightened chair means that it will continue to provide good back support.

· Wash the wheels. It is quite easy to overlook the wheels of your office desk chair. However, the wheels will determine how smoothly you can move your chair from one point to another. You can use a cotton swab and warm soapy water. You may also spray WD40 every six months to help the wheels roll more easily.

· Vacuum. If you have a fabric office chair, you may use a vacuum on the upholstery to remove the dusts that have settled into the material.

· Check all fixings.  Make sure to check all the moving parts of your office desk chair such as the adjustment levers and tighten loose screws if there are any.

I’ve always dreamed of having my own house someday but I’m not sure if that dream will soon become a reality. My sister already had built their new house in Sydney and I’m so happy for her. It was both her and my BIL’s dream house and I reckon they love every minute staying their with their family.

How’d I wish to have a house like theirs, very spacious and neat. Her husband made it sure to put the best materials and furniture in the house. I can’t wait to see and visit their house when I come there for vacation.

Anyway, whilst going through some inspirations online, I can’t help myself to admire beautiful houses built so neatly. Went through the gallery of Clear Span and these houses with bi fold doors caught my attention as it not only can let the light and air come in generously but also made it more spacious when folded. Perfect when you entertain guests all the time in your home as you can easily open it up on the backyard for your barbeque time and more.

These doors fold in or fold out in the areas where you wanted it to be installed. It can also serve as a divider and can jazz up your homes, making it more functional.

The first thing that I wanted to be done is the wall re-painting. The colors looked old and chipped, plus the fact that the dirt has embedded so much on the walls that it looks nasty already. I wanted the house to look neat and more welcoming this time. It has been many years now since I had it re-painted so I reckon this is the perfect year to do so. Given that I have also new appliances that I purchased last year and just recently, I reckon it’s pretty thrilling if I can showcase them on my “new” home. This makes me excited.

As I was talking to my mom about this, she approved about it and even suggested that, if I’m going to have our walls re-painted and just leave our old floor tiling, then it may look half undone. That made me think again and it looks like I need to have the complete house re-painted and re-tiled (only the kitchen and living room part) and it only means that more budget and time are needed. Been contemplating about this and it looks reasonable.

The old tiles that we have are just vinyl and you can just imagine how it looks like after over 20 decades of use. There are chipped edges when I inspected them and the beige colors appear horrible now. I wished we had installed a marble or something more durable when we first had it constructed.

Anyway, I have known that there are actually many tiling materials available now at many home depot stores and before I had my house project started, I need to research more. Certainly, I’ll be veering away from vinyl materials and it looks like I have many choices: from marble, limestone and travertine tiles.

They all look the same actually but I guess we’ll be trying out those travertine tiles  that I learned was made of calcium carbonate that was formed thousand of years ago underneath the earth’s surface. These chemicals are formed in water resources, rivers, springs and more. Nature has really given us natural products that we can also use as tiling for our home.

I managed to find Stone Superstore, a store that offers wide range of travertine tiles. Their online catalogue proved to offer wide choices of these tiles in various colors that ranges from ivory, beige, walnut, and more. The different finish and also the pattern of the tiles can also add beauty to the area where I wanted it to be placed.

Now, durable tiling materials are all that I need for our home and I guess I found the right one.

Aside from that, a technician came to the house to fix our La Germania stove. The other burner is not working for few weeks now and since it’s hard to cook with only 1 burner being used, mom had to call someone to fix it. It’s been years that we’ve been using that stove and due to water and oil spilling, rusts and dirt formed in the burner. Thankfully, the technician only billed us Php500 for the repair.

I’m sure the Black Friday sale in the US will also be a good opportunity for shoppers to score a great deal. My twitter friends are getting super excited over the sale as they are shopping as well. I’ll just wait for a friend’s items that she will be selling and hope that I’ll find nice bag (yes.. bag again!).

Aside from that, I planned on replacing our old and about to give up washing machine and electric fans and I promised my mom that we’ll be buying them this December. I also wanted to have one of those lg tvs that I found online and with only $229.99 as a price, I’m getting tempted already.

I’m sure it’ll be more fun to watch my fave TV shows and movies using this 19″ LCD HDTV. Maybe next year,  I can buy this already but for the meantime, this will goes to my wish list.

We can have movie time in the living room, play games on the computer, have a barbeque at the backyard, or just relax and chill at the gazebo or sunroom. Sunrooms are perfect place to hang out with family and even your friends. It can become a luxury place, an extension in your home, where you can all have the view of the backyard as glass is surrounding the walls. Sunlight can generously come inside the sunroom making you opt not to open your lights making you save even more.

For those that are into house re-modeling, renovation can be expensive but if you’re going to do so, it’s much better to invest in high quality products than those poor quality ones even thought they are less expensive.

Christmas is the time for house cleaning and decorations. I myself will schedule to do a general cleaning before I even put up our Christmas tree probably by the end of November. I don’t want to put any Christmas decorations this early as it may only collect some dust.
