One thing you have to do before you the guests come over is clean.  Arm & Hammer has a great line of vacuum accessories that provide superior filtration and odor-eliminating capabilities for many different brands and models of vacuums. The filters, bags and belts are made with natural products, instead of harsh chemical to absorb and neutralize odors instead of masking them. They are a great choice to use around any kids, pets and visitors with allergies that you may have in your home this holiday season! The Arm & Hammer accessories are available exclusively at Walmart.

Instead of buying bottles of water, opt to filter your water.  Refrigeration filtering systems, like this one from Whirlpool, can filter the equivalent of 3,000 bottles of water in one year – saving up to $600, putting a little extra money back into your wallet during the holiday season.  Make sure to change the water filter every six months to ensure you are drinking the highest quality water. Replacing the filter is no problem; many refrigerators have an easy-access system located conveniently at the bottom in the grille or just inside the fridge. www.whirlpool.com/every6months

A new coat of paint brings new life to old spaces.  And when you paint it’s important to tape your walls to give the look of a professional paint job.  Frog Tape is the only painter’s tape treated with Paint Block Technology – that allows users to achieve crisp, clean, paint lines.  When latex comes in contact with this tape, Paint Block absorbs the paint and creates a barrier, preventing the paint from bleeding under the tape which helps eliminate touch ups – saving you time and money.  It’s a great way to spruce up your home for your holiday guests. It’s available in 24mm, 38mm, and 48mm.
