Save the stress with winter tips by 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner

What is one thing that most of us depend on every day? Our Cars! In preparation for the harsh winter, get your car thoroughly checked. No one wants to be that person who you see stuck on the shoulder in rush hour traffic on a Monday morning with a broken down vehicle.  You can save yourself the time, money and aggravation by simply taking preventative steps now to ensure your vehicle will withstand the cold.

A couple of heat and energy do it yourself tricks will make a difference when it comes to keeping your home warm. It is important to insulate your hot water tank and maintain an approximate temperature of about 120 Degrees. Hot water tank insulation blankets can be found at your local hardware store.  While you’re at the hardware store you can also pick up a pipe insulation kit. Insulating exposed and accessible water pipes will help prevent pipes from freezing as well as save energy and help lower your heating bill.

Stock up! Whether it be canned foods, extra socks or simply making sure you have more than enough salt to maintain a safe walkway for your family, It’s always better to have an ample amount of these things handy. You will save time and money by not having to run to the store IN THE COLD every other day for these common items that you could have easily stocked up on months prior to the dreaded snowfall.

Cook on the weekends. Online there are a huge variety of meal recipes that you can prepare days in advance of the actual day you eat them. Making meals in advance, even if it is only part of the meal, can save so much time and also prove to be much healthier. For instance, it is better to have a homemade meal at home waiting to be heated than to bring home a big bag of fast food to your family because you have had one of those long, draining days at work and don’t feel like cooking. These tips from 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner hope you have a better holidays by enjoying with your families and friends and take the little stressful things out.
