Hardwood Or Laminate, Natural Tile Or Luxury Vinyl: What’s Best For Your Lifestyle (NAPS)—Anyone can have beautiful, functional floors—once you review your options. For ex­ample, you may have your heart set on hardwood, but laminate may be a better option given your lifestyle. Alternatively, you may admire tile floors, but you might be a lot happier with luxury vinyl tile (LVT).

In order to make the right decision, consider three key factors—budget, wearability and maintenance.

• Hardwood floors are a great choice under the right conditions.

Nothing compares to the natural beauty, color, intricate graining and depth of shine of a hardwood floor. Not only easy on the eye, hardwood floors tend to be warm underfoot too. Quality hardwood flooring is a big investment but will last a long time and add real value to your home.

Hardwood is timely and timeless and completely authentic, and it comes in many colors, from nearly white to practically black and various warm shades of brown in between.

Though there are many pluses to hardwood, there are some minuses to consider when deciding whether it’s right for you. Bear in mind, all hardwood is not the same; quality and pricing are big factors. Depending on the species, some hardwood floors can take a great deal of wear and tear and still look good. Others, though beautiful at first, show the signs of wear very quickly. In any case, you have to clean and care for it properly. This includes not using ammonia cleaners, oil soaps or a wet mop; using a professional hardwood floor cleaner to remove scuffs and scratches; and cleaning spills immediately. For these reasons, hardwood might not be the best fit for every home.

• In some cases, laminate is a great alternative. Fortunately, for people who really like the look of wood, there’s an excellent—and much less expensive—alternative: laminate flooring. Through highly detailed digitized photography, laminate floors of today duplicate hardwood with tremendous realism that allows for a lower initial cost. What’s more, an inner cork subfloor on some laminate products helps tone down the noise and echoing attributes associated with laminates of yesterday.

Unlike hardwood, a laminate floor will not fade. Pets can also be a problem for hardwood flooring. Laminate, on the other hand, offers a durable wear surface that is highly stain, scratch and moisture resistant.

Because of its durability, hygienic nature and ease of installation and maintenance, laminate floors have become a low-cost alternative to hardwood, stone and tile.

• Is your heart set on stone? Natural stone and porcelain tiles are another popular way to pave your floors. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors, glazed or unglazed, and can be used plain, decorated or as part of a mosaic.

Along with its beauty, natural stone flooring will likely increase your home’s resale value, and it only improves with age.

Stone is also popular because every piece of stone is unique so no two floors are alike. Natural stone varies in hardness as no stone floor has a perfectly smooth surface. There is always a possibility that small chips or pits may show up and be more evident in certain kinds of lighting. It’s a good idea to match the flooring with the kind of activities that will be taking place, as soft, porous stone flooring is probably inappropriate for a high-traffic area.

• Is tile the right fit for your family? A properly installed ceramic tile floor will outperform and outlast nearly any other. Glazed ceramic tile and porcelain resist stains, odors and dirt and can be cleaned easily.

Environmentally friendly, ­ceramic tile is manufactured using natural materials and does not retain odors, allergens or bacteria. It also does not burn or emit toxic fumes. It can, however, be expensive and difficult to install, and some people find tile cold underfoot.

• Vinyl floors offer many perks. Luxury vinyl tile, which falls in the “resilient” flooring category, may be a flooring you should consider—especially if you’re concerned about pets and kids. Luxury vinyl tile flooring is a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms, as well, because it’s “no wax” and easy to keep clean. It’s durable, affordable, water resis­tant, easy to install and doesn’t fade or stain.

LVT flooring comes in many colors, textures and patterns and can imitate wood grain, tile, even marble. Since it also comes in sheets, planks and tiles, there’s lots of room for self-expression. A talented installer can use contrasting sheet vinyl for large patterns. Tiles can be arranged any way you want, from checkerboard to stripes to diagonals. Plus, LVT are flexible and soft to walk on.

Simple Actions Can Make the Difference in Home Fires (NAPS)—There seem to be countless things we don’t think twice about when it comes to protecting our families. You’d never hit the road on a long road trip without buckling your baby in a car seat. And most people have a nightly habit of making sure the house is locked before going to bed. Both are simple things that become a habit in order to keep your family safe.

So why are Americans still not taking simple actions to protect their families from home fires? According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), al­most 2,500 people die every year in home fires. Yet most of these deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms.

Did you also know that cooking is the main cause of home fires and home fire injuries? But it doesn’t have to be that way, because Fire is Everyone’s Fight™.

There are simple steps you can take right now to reduce your risk of a home fire that could not just injure you or a loved one, but could take a life.

Put smoke alarms in your home to keep your family safe. Make sure your smoke alarms work.

Your family is not safe if they can’t hear the smoke alarms. Test your smoke alarms.

Push the test button.

You will hear a loud noise. If you don’t hear the noise, you need a new battery or a new alarm. Fix this immediately.

To protect against cooking-related fires and injuries, keep an eye on what you fry. Most cooking fires start when someone is frying food. Hot oil and grease can burn people and start fires. Be prepared when cooking and make the cooking area safe. Make sure children and pets stay at least 3 feet away from a hot stove. Clean and clear the area around the stove before you turn on the heat.

Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove so no one can bump them or pull them over.

Just as the simple click of a seat belt can become a habit that decreases your chance of being injured in a car crash, getting in the habit of doing these fire safety practices may help save your life or the life of your family one day. Remember, keeping you safe isn’t just the fire department’s job. Fire is Everyone’s Fight™.

Home Staging Tips

Recipes For Kitchen Safety

(NAPS)—If you’re putting your home on the market, home staging is an important element in preparing your home for sale. The idea is to spruce up inside and outside and pack away personal items that may distract a buyer. One family’s keepsakes are another family’s clunkers, so pack away cute photos, unusual artwork and accessories, and replace tired towels, bedding and curtains.

Clean out overstuffed closets so they look roomier.

A little maintenance can help get the best price for your home. Wood floors are a big selling point, so make sure yours look their best. Minwax Hardwood Floor Cleaner will remove dirt and grime without leaving any residue. If your floors are scuffed and scratched, bring back their warm sheen without the mess and expense of refinishing.

Minwax Hardwood Floor Reviver is easy to apply and refreshes worn hardwood floors.

Finally, small details count: Touch up nicks and scratches in woodwork and wood furniture with an easy-to-use stain pen, such as the Minwax Wood Finish Stain Marker.

You can learn more at www.minwax.com.

Now your home will be ready for its close-up.

(NAPS)—While the kitchen is known as the “heart of the home,” it’s also where many home fires originate. On average, 160,220 home structure fires involving kitchen equipment occur each year.

Pointers To Protect You Fortunately, a few simple steps can help you identify common dangers and prevent kitchen electrical fires: • Plug all appliances directly into the wall; do not use extension cords.

• Make certain all small appliances and tools are approved by an independent testing laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Intertek (ETL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

• Never leave food unattended while cooking.

• Use a timer to avoid overcooking and burning.

• Unplug countertop appliances when not in use.

• Move all appliances away from the sink to prevent contact with water. Do not use electrical appliances that have been wet.

• Be sure all fire alarms in the house are functioning. Install smoke alarms at least 10 feet from cooking appliances to reduce the possibility of nuisance alarms.

• Clean your appliances regularly, including vacuuming refrigerator coils every three months to prevent potentially dangerous dirt buildup.

• Be sure your kitchen is equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and test them monthly to ensure they’re functioning properly.

• Have arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) installed to prevent potential problems with your wiring system. Test them monthly, too.

Making The Garage An Organized, Family-Friendly Space (NAPS)—In the flurry of today’s active family lifestyles, it is clear that the garage is no longer just the domain of the family car. For many households, this versatile space is used by every member of the family. It has become the logical place to store tools and gear for sports, hobbies, yard work and playtime, along with out-of-season items that would otherwise take up room inside the home.

However, with so much to hold and family members coming and going all the time, the challenge is to keep this space neat and well organized.

To help, here are some garage design tips from EasyClosets— an online provider of do-it-yourself custom storage and organization systems for all areas of the home.

• Establish the transition area —the space that’s reserved for hanging coats, storing shoes and boots, and setting down packages, groceries or mail when you’re opening the door.

• Next, determine a need-it-now area for quick and easy access to things like dog food and leashes, water bottles and other beverages, or recycling bins.

• Decide which area is best for long, thin yard and maintenance tools like shovels, rakes and clippers.

• Identify elevation zones, creating a storage area for large items that may be stored out of the way for months at a time, such as coolers, camping gear and holiday decorations. Reserve easy-toreach areas for the kids to keep their sports equipment.

• Plan an area for frequently used items such as active gear, outdoor games and cleaning supplies.

• Stake out a workspace for hobbies and interests. From gardening to fishing, woodworking or automotive work, designate a space for organizing tools and supplies needed to work on these projects.

A Multipurpose Space To help homeowners complete the conversion of their garage to a truly multipurpose family space, EasyClosets created organization solutions that keep the garage in order, improve its appearance, and make it easy for family members to find or put away the things they need.

“Transforming the garage into a hardworking, multipurpose space can actually empower a family’s active lifestyle,” said EasyClosets organization expert Denise Scopas.

Homeowners can choose from cabinets, shelves, drawers, work surfaces and clever accessories. EasyClosets garage cabinets are available in several depth and height options, and can even be customized to meet a variety of width requirements. To maximize space, the company also offers slatwall panels to hold hooks, racks and baskets. The cabinets come in seven on-trend colors and with stylish hardware that coordinates with today’s homes.

Designed and engineered especially for the garage environment, the solutions feature heavy-duty cabinets with integrated full back panels, one-inch-thick sturdy shelves, and doors with wide-opening Euro-style hinges. Legs can also be added for additional support or style.

Intuitive Design Feature The company offers an intuitive online design tool to make space planning quick and easy for homeowners. Complimentary de­sign service is also available, allowing customers to have an expert review their plan or create it for them. The solutions are made specifically for do-it-yourself installation. Components are cut to order and shipped with a complete set of hardware and detailed instructions to make home assembly successful—even for those without remodeling experience.

Fast, Easy Recipes Free You For Family Fun (NAPS)—To spend less time cooking dinner and more time with your family, it helps to have a few simple yet delicious recipes at your fingertips. Fortunately, you can find hundreds of family-pleasing dinner ideas from the Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest on­line. Many of them use seven ingredients or less (not including table salt or ground black pepper) and take only 30 minutes or less of active prep time.

For example, there’s this recipe created by Kim Van Dunk of Caldwell, N.J., which uses ground turkey and Green Giant® frozen chopped spinach for a lighter yet full-flavored spin on traditional meatballs. Van Dunk, along with 99 other finalists, will compete for the $1 million grand prize at the 46th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest this November.

Meatball and Breadstick Sub Skewers Prep Time: 25 Minutes Total Time: 55 Minutes Makes 6 servings 1 box (9 oz.) Green Giant® frozen chopped spinach 2 slices whole wheat sand­wich bread, torn in pieces 1⁄4 cup half-and-half 1 lb. ground turkey 1 can Pillsbury® refrigerated original breadsticks 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 2 cups tomato pasta sauce ¾ teaspoon salt 1⁄4 teaspoon ground pepper Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Microwave frozen spinach as directed; cool slightly and squeeze dry with paper towels. In bowl, mix bread pieces and half-and-half; let stand 1 minute. With fork, mash bread until well blended. Add spinach, turkey, 3⁄4 teaspoon salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper; mix well. Shape mixture into 36 (11⁄2-inch) balls. Unroll dough; separate into 12 breadsticks. Thread one end of a breadstick on 10-inch skewer; add 1 meatball, leaving 1⁄4 inch between dough and meatball. Repeat threading with breadstick and 2 additional meatballs. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining breadsticks and meatballs. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, rotating cookie sheets halfway through bake time, or until meatballs are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer in center of meatball reads 165°F. Sprinkle each skewer with 1 tablespoon cheese.

Bake 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Meanwhile, in 1-quart sauce­pan, cook sauce over medium-low heat until thoroughly heated. Serve with meatball skewers.

Squirrel-Proof Birdfeeder

(NAPS)—If your heart takes wing at the sight of birds in your yard, consider these seven suggestions for saving the seeds you leave them from squirrels: 1. Location: Mount birdfeeders on a smooth metal pole at least six feet high. Prune any branches within a 12-foot radius.

2. Baffles: Install baffles, at least 15 inches wide and sloped, between the top of the feeder and its hanger or between the ground and the feeder.

3. Spinners: String spinners on a horizontal line.

4. Seed: Squirrels are less attracted to nyger, millet, safflower, canary and canola seeds.

5. Clean: Remove any debris and spilled seed from around the feeder.

6. Traps: Live traps can harmlessly catch and relocate squirrels.

7. Squirrel-Proof Feeders: There are several kinds.

Squirrel-resistant feeders have doors that close when triggered by the squirrel’s weight. Metal feeders help minimize the damage from hungry squirrels. Wire cages around a birdfeeder can keep squirrels out but may prevent large birds from accessing the feeder as well.

You can also get a humane and effective interactive birdfeeder. The Squirrel Boss Bird Feeder has a remote control operated by you from inside your house. When you press it, the offending squirrel gets a harmless static shock that tingles but doesn’t hurt.
