A Clean Home is a Happy Home. AmeriClean Newsletter - April & May 2009
Stop clutter before it even gets to your door.
Last time, we talked about organizing and reducing clutter. While some catalogs, newsletters, and magazines include helpful content you’ll want to read, too much advertising in your mailbox can be overwhelming. Check out the new ideas below, and get ready to stop clutter before it starts!
Catalog Choice. This organization (www.catalogchoice.org) helps you stop waste and clutter by contacting catalog companies on your behalf. You choose which catalogs you don’t want to get and Catalog Choice forwards your requests to the appropriate parties. If a company isn’t in Catalog Choice’s database, you can request that it be added.
Tonic Mail Stopper. For $20/year, Mail Stopper (www.mailstopper.tonic.com) will help stop all kinds of “junk” mail, including flyers, direct mail campaign letters, and catalogs. They guarantee that your junk mail will be reduced within 90 days, and they plant five trees for each client who signs up for the service. They also offer gift certificates.
41 Pounds. This organization (www.41pounds.org) gets its names from a statistic that might shock you—each adult American gets an average of 41 pounds of junk mail each year, according to this group. For $41, 41 Pounds will help reduce your junk mail—including credit card applications—for five years.
Why not try one or a few of these services? You’ll reduce waste and keep your life less cluttered.
"The carpet and upholstery cleaning was wonderful. I was impressed with Don. I stopped by to see how the job was going and found Don taking his time and getting everything cleaned well. Looking at my furniture the following day, I was thinking, is this the same furniture I had cleaned yesterday? Again, I was very impressed."
