Make the Most of Your Alaska Outdoor Living Space

For many homeowners, the front and back yards provide completely different environments. If you are an avid gardener or landscaper, the front of your home provides a natural showcase for your gifts. The back yard, on the other hand, is where your family lives and plays in the long, hot days of summer. If the back yard and front yard serve such different purposes, it makes sense -- both design-wise, and from a practical perspective -- to create a barrier between those two worlds.

What to Look for When Hiring a Handyman in Anchorage

Hiring a handyman in Anchorage can make you want to pull your hair out. Unfortunately, that's totally normal. The easiest way to approach this is to break it down a bit. You want to have a good understanding of the exact work you need done so you know what kind of handyman you are looking for. The word handyman is an umbrella for many things. It's important to remember that a handyman is just that. He's handy to help with many home projects. However, not all handymen are experienced plumbers, electricians, or tradesmen of any sort for that matter. Here are a few things to look for when hiring a handyman in Anchorage.

Pet Odors: 3 Tips to Neutralize

1. Pet Odors: Baking Soda and Vinegar

When it comes to pet odors, this one’s a classic. If your odor problem isn’t a big stink, this light odor solution might be your best bet. After cleaning the affected area, sprinkle the spot with baking soda and leave it overnight (make sure your furry friends are contained; you don’t want your pets to eat it). In the morning, sweep or vacuum the baking soda and rinse the area with a strong vinegar wash (1-2 cups of white distilled vinegar to a gallon of water).

2. Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking Soda, and Liquid Soap

If baking soda and vinegar isn’t cutting it, this is a good next step (and still low-budget!). Strap on some rubber or latex gloves, and carefully mix a quart of hydrogen peroxide with a quarter-cup of baking soda and a teaspoon of liquid soap. You’ll want to mix this right before you use it, and don’t store this one in a closed container. Pour or spray this mixture onto the affected area*, and blot the excess liquid after waiting 24 hours. The rest will air dry. *Before using this method, you might want to test it on a hidden area of your carpet to make sure it doesn’t affect the color.

3. Professional Cleaning

You’ve tried every homemade solution you can find. You’ve bought commercial products that just aren’t working. You’re at your wit’s end trying to treat that spot in the carpet that Fido keeps coming back to. It might be time to throw in the towel and get professional help. It can’t hurt to ask around. Call your local carpet cleaning or property service companies, and see what they offer in odor removal.

Pet Odors too Strong to Eliminate?

Sometimes our pets can wreak havoc on our home. While regular cleaning and maintenance of your home is the best solution for keeping your home odor free, sometimes more extreme measures need to be taken. Replacing carpets with solid surface flooring is a great way to get your home smelling fresh again and to keep it that way. Be Happy PS has extensive knowledge and experience with home renovations.
