Thank you to our Guest Blogger, Michael Brennan from Bellhops Moving in Indianapolis. Read on for some great tips on 'How to Make Your New Home Feel Like It's Yours.'
Congratulations! With the help of Team McClintock, you've found your perfect home in Indiana, and you're ready to move in. Of course, as wonderful as your home might be, it's worth noting that there are a few things you'll need to do before you can fully settle in and start enjoying the space. After all, enjoying a new home is all about making the property your own.
This means removing certain reminders that let you know that someone else lived there before you. Anything from leftover paint, to lingering smells, need to be gone before you transfer your belongings into your home with the help of our friends at Bellhops Moving Indianapolis so you can have your well-deserved fresh start.
1. Start Before you Move In
Moving etiquette generally suggests that most previous owners will do some work on your home for you before you're scheduled to move in. This might mean that they scrub the surfaces, clean the floors, and make sure that everything smells fresh. However, you'll still need to do a little extra work to rid of everything they may have left behind. Wipe away all the excess dust you can see, and scrub everything before you start using it. If it helps, you can even contact a maid service to do the hard work for you.
Cleaning before you move into the new home will ensure that you have a fresh canvas when you start moving your belongings into their new spaces.

Use humidity, a car product, and more wow ideas to save cleaning time. When cleaning your home, why not do it in such a way that’ll keep your home cleaner with less effort?
Here are 7 ways to keep your spring-clean fresh all year long:
#1 Use Humidity to Defy Dust
Low humidity levels cause static electricity. Not only does static attract dust, it makes it stick, so it’s difficult to remove. High humidity causes problems, too — it’s an ideal environment for dust mites. These microscopic critters are a double threat: They’re a common allergen, and they contribute to dust production. There are as many as 19,000 dust mites in half a teaspoon of house dust, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. Yuck!
What to do: Keep your home’s humidity level between 40% and 50%. That’ll eliminate static while decreasing dust mite growth.
Tip: About 80% of dirt in homes walks in from the outside. Stop dirt with a bristly doormat before it’s tracked inside.
#2 Apply a Car Product to Keep Shower Doors Scum-Free
You can eliminate soap scum build-up by coating your glass shower doors with a rain-repellent product made for car windshields. When applied to glass, products like these create an invisible barrier that causes water, oils, and debris (like soap suds) to bead and roll off.
What to do: Find this product anywhere that sells basic auto supplies. You’ll know it’s time to reapply when water stops beading on shower doors. Keep in mind,...

You probably only think you’ve eliminated pet odors. If your agent holds her nose, here’s how to get rid of the smell:
#1 Air Out Your House
While you’re cleaning, throw open all the windows in your home to allow fresh air to circulate and sweep out unpleasant scents.
Once your house is free of pet odors, do what you can to keep the smells from returning. Crate your dog when you’re out or keep it outdoors. Limit the cat to one floor or room, if possible. Remove or replace pet bedding.
#2 Scrub Thoroughly
Scrub bare floors and walls soiled by pets with vinegar, wood floor cleaner, or an odor-neutralizing product, which you can purchase at a pet supply store for $10 to $25.
Try a 1:9 bleach-to-water solution on surfaces it won’t damage, like cement floors or walls.
Got a stubborn pet odors covering a large area? You may have to spend...

Conserving energy and saving money on utility bills during summer months may be easier than you think. In fact, some of these tips are so simple that you may be tempted to use them all year long. Here are some summer energy saving tips for you and your clients:
Serve refreshing no-cook suppers several nights a week instead of hot meals. In addition to conserving energy use, your kitchen will stay cooler without added heat from cooking appliances. Some menu ideas that don’t require a stove, oven or microwave include salads, fruit plates, sandwiches and cold summer soups such as gazpacho.
Take advantage of warm, dry weather and save electricity by line drying your clothes outside. Your dryer will get a break and your clothes and linens will smell fresh and wonderful.
Install solar powered exterior lighting. These lights harness their power from sunlight and don’t require electricity.
Do some research and find out how much water your grass type and landscape plants actually need to avoid overwatering. You’ll conserve water, save money and avoid harming your turf and landscaping with too much moisture. To see how much water your grass and plants are actually getting from rain or from an automatic irrigation system, set small, shallow dishes around your lawn. During hot weather, it’s best to water early in the morning when evaporation rates are lowest. It’s also a good idea to mulch around plants to help minimize evaporation and lock moisture in.
Plant trees that provide shade to your home. Talk to your local nursery for advice on fast-growing trees that will thrive in your area.
Ceiling fans can help you stay cool and reduce air conditioning expenses. You can also use them to help...
