/0 Comments/in , /by

The short answer is yes. But the more complicated answer has a lot more to do with your personality and what needs you need fulfilled. So find the best time and enjoy the company of others before it’s too late.

 

  • When was the last time you had someone over?
    • If the answer is anything more than a month you are probably not socializing enough. You don’t necessarily need to have one at your house per se but socializing is a necessity for humans.
  • How clean is your house?
    • Odd question? yes. Dinner parties serve as fantastic way to keep your house clean. Because most of us want to make good impressions, we generally do a deep clean come party time.
  • Is your life too scheduled?
    • Avoid getting in the rut of normality. Normal isn’t a bad thing, but for a lifetime it can be horrible. It is fun throwing a wrench into the machine every now and then that offers excitement and entertainment.
  • Where are your friends?
    • You can’t blame lack of friendship on anyone but yourself. Be proactive and go and get um. A house party is a simple way of getting to know new people.

The answer to these questions seems simple but requires practice on your part. This will make life fun and give you a brief rest from normalcy and a chance to open your home to new people.

The first thought that probably comes to head reading this is, “I can just use pledge, do my normal clean tactics, and I am good.” Cleaning wood isn’t complicated but there are good ways to do it and not so great ways to do it.

  • If you want to use something different than pledge, get white vinegar and some olive oil. You will also need some water and a vacuum.

 

  • Prepare the area
    • You have to move things. There is nothing worse for wood than simply cleaning around the area that thing sits on. Move the TV, the picture frames, and the magazines from the area.
  • Vacuum-On-WoodVacuum

 

  • Get the dust off of where you are going to clean so that it doesn’t mix in with the other cleaning products. If necessary get a piece of cloth to remove any dust you can’t get with the vacuum.

    • Mix the white vinegar with water. DO NOT USE A DAMP RAG. Ring it out. Water can damage wood if it gets through the finish. By releasing the excess water you ensure the protection of the wood.
  • Polish
