It's Spring Time

With the increasing amount warmer days approaching, the weather will have us pushing up our windows and taking in deep breaths of fresh air this spring. Yes, it’s spring, and it’s time to remove that winter dust and give your apartment and yourself a shiny new makeover.

Welcome Back Outside
1. Try planting some bright colored flowers to get you in the spring time mood.

2. There is nothing like opening your window to enjoy the spring time breeze. Try using ¼ cup of baking soda and 1 quart warm water with a damp cloth to remove the dirt and grime from around your screen.

A Fresh Start Indoors
1. In the fridge, throw away any food items with expired dates, strange smells or interesting colors. Use the baking soda mixture and a sponge to clean the inside of your fridge. When your finished place an Arm & Hammer Baking Soda box inside your fridge to help things stay fresh. Don’t forget to change it every 30 days.

2. With the growing season starting, it's time to get cooking! Clean your food prep area with natural, food-safe baking soda instead of harsh cleaners. Sprinkle baking soda onto a clean damp sponge or cloth and wipe clean, rinse thoroughly, and then dry.

How to Get Rid of the Electric Bill Blues

Does living in an apartment make you worry about the electric bill blues? Well here at the Village at Rice Hope, we are here to help. Our community has become one of the few who are trying to become more GREEN and efficient. Some quick tips that can help you lower your electric bill are:

Keep your air filter clean - A dirty air filter makes your heater (and in summer, your A/C) work much harder. A new one can save you up to $5.00 a month. And don’t forget you can stop by the office anytime to pick up your new filter.

Dump those old light bulbs - The new compact fluorescent light bulbs are electric bill magic. They use less electricity than traditional bulbs and last ten times longer. Here at the Village at Rice Hope we have stocked your apartment with fresh, new light bulbs to start you off right.

Wash clothes in cold water - About 90% of the energy used in a clothes washer goes to water heating. And don’t forget we have a full-sized washer and dryer in every apartment.
