Since the warmth of summer has dissipated into the chill of fall now, you may have turned on your furnace to warm the chill out of the morning air in your home. Did you know, however, that if the previous homeowners haven't cleaned or maintained the furnace that you could be compromising your furnace efficiency, or worse, your health.A dirty furnace can be a problem because dirt can interfere with proper combustion and/or air transfer from the furnace throughout the house.While it is common for there to be a dusty smell when you turn your furnace on for the first time in the fall, you should only be able to smell that for a short time before the dust is burnt off. One part of your furnace that does need some attention if its dusty is the filter.Your filter needs to be changed once it gets dusty; this could be every three years if your home has relatively particle-free air but it can be more often as well.

Putting your home on the market can be a pretty big project, particularly when its done right; there are repairs to make, painting, cleaning, packing, and staging to do all before prospective buyers come through your home. The less amount of stuff you have in your home, the easier it will be for you to make repairs to your home and the easier it will be for you to pack and stage your home. The best way to declutter your home and get things organized is to go about the project in a systematic way; divide up the work by room so that you have one area to work on at a time to avoid the project overwhelming you. Plan a half-day at a time to devote to organizing your home so that you arent swamped with work. In each room you will need to haul out all of your stuff and decide what parts are necessary and which are only taking up valuable space. You will want to keep everything that is necessary, practical, and meaningful.

If you have items that have sentimental value that dont lend themselves well to display, like baby items, then allow yourself to keep one box of...more
