Think about the last time you stayed over someone else’s house…was it a pleasant or unpleasant experience?

If it was pleasant, consider what types of amenities they provided for you and what make the stay more comfortable. If it was unpleasant, why was it this way?

The littlest amenities can make all of the difference for your guests, and if you’re planning a bunch of activities while they’re in town, you definitely want them to get the best sleep.

Front loading washers can be more energy efficient, so if you’re looking for a way to reduce your water and electricity bills, updating your old washer to a new one can be a worthy investment.

In addition, these types of washers can be stacked on top of each other, which will save space.

This LG WM2701HV is a 27” front-load washer with 4.5 cu. ft. capacity. It has several wash cycles to sanitize your clothes, brighten your whites, wash in cold water and wash bulk loads. It even has a child lock and stainless steel tub.

Cats can make great companions, but when a neighbor’s cat is marking in your flower beds, they can be more of a pest instead of a friend. Cat urine has a unique odor, which is pungent and tends to linger. If a cat is using your landscaping as its litter box, there isn’t too much hope for your plants. So how can you keep naughty stray cats from messing in your yard.

There are several different types of cat deterrents from devices to natural remedies. If you’re all out of options, try the Ultrasonic Motion Sensing Animal Repeller. It sends out a signal that only cats can hear to drive them away from the area. The device can be inserted right into the ground near the trouble areas.

However, this device doesn’t seem to be effective on squirrels or raccoons.

So much dirt and grime builds up on your driveway, and if you had guests park their cars that had leaky oil tanks or air conditioning units, you might even have stains on the cement. Scrubbing your driveway on your hands and knees is that last thing you want to do, but regular upkeep can prevent the stains from setting in…so what do you do?

It’s made from heavy-grade aluminum to prevent rusting, and the pole easily connects to a garden hose. The brush head measures 4” H x 17.5” W x 8.5” D.

Nothing goes with summer better than homemade ice cream. If you and your family always get a hankering for fresh strawberry, chocolate or vanilla bean ice cream, why not invest in a soft serve ice-cream machine? When your friends and family come over to enjoy the pool or patio, you can setup an ice cream bar inside with all the condiments you could ever imagine to put on your cone.

The Cuisinart ICE-45 can help you make professional quality soft serve ice cream, yogurt, sorbet and even sherbet. This ice cream maker has a double-insulated freezer bowl to keep your ice cream cold, and it holds 1.5 quarts.

The unit also has a storage container for sprinkles, which you can easily add to your cone. This machine is setup like the models at ice cream shops and buffet restaurants, so it’s convenient and easy for everyone to use.
