We’re done de-cluttering our home office (the room that used to be our storage area) and now I am dealing with tons of things that needs to be put away in the cabinets. We need enough storage in this house and that means getting storage cabinets if not hiring a carpenter to make a built-in ones. The plastic storage boxes we have are all full with our books, magazine collection, old stuffs that we cannot throw away, and a lot more. That left hubby’s Olympia Motorcycle Jackets and his other motorcycle stuffs lying someplace else. I hope we can find a cheap yet with good quality storage cabinets or even just storage shelves to keep everything in place.

Hot Tub Maintenance: How To Care For And Clean Your Hot Tub
Posted on Feb 11, 2012 under Home stuffs, Household tips | No CommentSome tips on how to clean and take care of your hot tub.
Having your own hot tub at home is very convenient. Aside from the relaxation that it can provide to your tired body after a long day, using a hot tub also has several health benefits. Immersing yourself in a hot tub can help improve your blood circulation, loosen cramped and tight muscles, soothe any body pains, and improve your pulmonary, renal, musculoskeletal, and endocrine systems.
It is not surprising that a growing number of people have seen the advantages of having their own hot tub at home. However, along with all the benefits that it brings, having your own hot tub comes with the responsibility of hot tub maintenance. Unfortunately, bacteria and viruses can easily grow in warm water so it is vital for you to keep you hot tub clean and sanitized. Below are ways in which you can ensure that your hot tub is clean and safe for you to use.
· Set temperature to 102°F. A hot tub that is too hot is definitely not safe for anyone while a hot tub that lacks heat will not provide you with the benefits that it is supposed to give. The recommended temperature for the water in your hot tub is 102°F. To help you control the electric costs of your hot tub, you may turn down the thermostat when your hot tub is not in use. You may also want to use a hot tub cover that can insulate your hot tub so that heat is not easily lost, as well as keep unwanted debris from getting into your hot tub.
· Treat your hot tub water regularly. The actual frequency with which you should treat the water in your hot tub depends on how much you use it. Although a lot of people use hot tub chemicals such as chlorine and bromine, you may prefer the natural hot tub products from Clarity Water Products that can keep your hot tub clean and sanitary without the use of harsh, toxic chemicals.
· Clean your filter. Again, the frequency with which you should clean your hot tub filter depends on your usage. Usually, cleaning it once a week by removing the filter and rinsing it should be good enough. However, it is still advisable that you do a more thorough cleaning with the use of a filter cleaner or degreaser once a month.
· Replace your hot tub water. No matter how often you treat the water in your hot tub and clean your hot tub filter, the water is not supposed to stay in your hot tub forever. Make sure to drain your hot tub and do a thorough cleaning of the hot tub every three months.
