Musical Shelves


by Heidrick's Appliance







The holiday season is here at last, which means hosting in your home will most likely follow. Right now would be a good time to clean out your refrigerator and ensure that you have the right storage flexibility. Frigidaire is among one of the most sought after when it comes to flexible storage. Take the Frigidaire Gallery  FGHI2164QF, which is rated better than most top freezer refrigerators. Perhaps consumers will have a tendency to consider this layout quite boring, but it’s this model’s door that leaves a lasting impression. The door features independent containers of multiple sizes that can be adjusted to one’s discretion. This refrigerator will surely be a helpful sidekick to those who plan to entertain during the holidays and need to arrange all of the food they plan to serve!

Does Your Range Make The Thanksgiving Checklist?


Does Your Range Make The Thanksgiving Checklist?


 Ranges


Hosting Thanksgiving can get a wee bit overwhelming. The goal is to breeze through the day, while impressing your guests with the spotlight of the dinner table – the turkey. Ladies & gentlemen, we are in the middle of a countdown to the largest cooking day of the year. The question is, are you ready and does your range make the checklist? If your goal is to emulate the blessings of an abundant harvest, then you should consider the ideal range to help you multitask. Here are some of our recommendations:

Perhaps the most convenient range to accommodate multitaskers is an electric double oven range. If you are looking for this convenience on a budget, why not consider the Whirlpool 6.7 total cu ft. double oven electric range with true convection cooking? This range will permit you to bake more quickly than its traditional counterpart and seal in flavor with convection cooking. You`ll love this Whirlpool range for its AccuBake Temperature Management System, True Convection Cooking (lower oven only) and also for its 10`` Rapid Boil element, to accommodate your favorite 10`` pots and pans. Not to mention, the double oven can be used simultaneously to cook at different temperatures. The lower oven is slightly larger and is the perfect alternative for hosting. There you have it…just imagine your turkey sealing in flavor and juices with the lower oven. If this nifty beauty is within your budget, you may want to check out its other features and specifications.




Are you a foodie and experienced cook with a deeper pocket? Then why not consider  Dual-Fuel Range with Griddle and Multimode Convection for this Thanksgiving? This large commercial style range delivers the precision of gas with the consistent heat of electric. The stacked burners give you the power for high-heat cooking and the double oven has six different convection cooking modes that maintain superbly consistent results! Last, this looker has a durable chrome surface that is easily cleaned to maintain it beautiful appearance. You definitely won`t regret this purchase. The turkey will melt in your mouth, making you wonder ``what kind of sorcery is this?``.



The choice is yours. These are two great options to make your life easier this Thanksgiving, so you too can sit back and enjoy the bountiful harvest.

3 Activities For Labor Day Weekend

by Heidrick's Appliance




We all like long weekends, but sometimes we don’t know what to do. Labor Day is a perfect day to take a break from any work, including housework and laundry! Take time to rest a little and spend some quality time with friends and family. Here are some ideas for a successful long weekend:

Play outside!
Is the sun shining and is the weather good? Take advantage of this perfect combination to organize a game of soccer or baseball with people you like to be with. If you are not sport buffs, just take time to sit in the backyard and talk about your favorite movie or anything that pleases you and your guests!



Make a brunch!
We all love to spend a little more time in bed on weekend mornings. Of course, the best thing after that is a good brunch with fruits, pancakes and chocolate milk!



Do nothing!
Sometimes, the only thing that we want to do during a long weekend is nothing! Just hanging there with a cup of coffee; observe nature in your backyard; or sitting by the window and leaf through a book or a magazine. Take a deep breath and relax…

Back To School Tips

by Heidrick's Appliance



Back-to-school is for many of us synonym of supplies, lunch, home works, mess and lunch again! When this time of the year is coming, we start to stress, to be tense and we are trying to be organized (which is not that easy sometimes!). Here are some organizing tips to help everyone being more relaxed at the back-to-school:


Make a space for children’s backpacks
In the lobby or anywhere else, take time to make an exclusive space to put the backpacks when child come back from school. It could be a storage bench, a wall shelf with hooks, a big basket or a large storage box.


Create a study area
To facilitate the productivity and reduce the homework time a study area is a must. Ideally, it should be a quiet place without any source of distraction like TV, video games, tablets, cell phone or any toy. The room could be filled with bookcases, a bench and/or chair, a work desk and maybe comfortable furniture where to read and study like a small sofa or a recliner.



Prepare in advance
To save time and avoid stress in the morning, preparing in advance is a good thing! The day before or even during the week-end, we can prepare lunches, sport clothes and organize backpacks for the upcoming week.



Choose outfits the night before
If we are still lacking time in the morning, choosing the outfits the night before could make the difference!

4 Good Ways To Celebrate Independence Day!

by Heidrick's Appliance




Celebrate with friends!
Pack a lunch, your joy and bring a couple of friends to a place where you all feel free and love for the sake of the peace that it gives you inside.



Make a patriotic picnic with your family!
Prepare sandwiches, veggies, chips, dips and all the things you like. Add a touch of America to it; make little American flags on toothpicks for the cupcakes, give your sandwiches American President names to distinguish them, buy some American flag napkins, etc. Ask your children to give a hand, they will love it! Then find a green place to eat and have fun together.



Decorate your home originally with the American flag!
If you receive guests for this special day and want to add a touch of America in your home, there are a couple of things you can do to be in tune with the theme of the day: Paint Mason jars with the American colors and then use them to add flowers or candles to the table center; fix your utensils and napkins together with blue, white and red ribbons; make American flag place mats, etc.



Go to an Independence Day parade!
In most cities and/or states, there will be a big parade to celebrate the dedicated day of America. Go see your city’s website to know which activities or special events will be close to home and choose the one that seems the most interesting to you. Don’t miss the fireworks!

Tips To Optimize Your Laundry Room

by Heidrick's






 Shelves + laundry baskets: 
As good for clean clothing as for the dirty ones, multiple baskets are so useful in a laundry room. Sometimes, the only problem is space. A simple way to solve this dilemma is with shelves! Installing shelves is fast and easy. You can put them under the washer and dryer or on the sides if you have enough space. Then, identify each basket with how you want to separate your loads; blacks, whites, clean stuff, etc.








Clothes line across the room: 
When the sun is gone and rain is all over the city, an outside clothes line is not very useful. Solve the problem with an inside one! Under the machines or close to the window are perfect spots. This is an easy, economical and ecological way to dry clothes inside the house, without a dryer.






"Lost & found" board
Isn't it frustrating when you lose socks in the dryer and never see them again? A simple solution is to make a dating place for socks! Take a cork board, pins and a little space on the wall and there it is. To make sure everyone in the house understand this new tool, identify it with an original but clear name like Lost & Found; Clean, Single and looking for mate, etc. Be creative!

Stainless steel appliances: All you need is vinegar, oil and two easy steps to make it shine.

1. Spray your stainless steel surface with vinegar and wipe it off in the direction of the grain with a paper towel.
2. Dip a soft cloth in a bit of oil and polish your appliance in the direction of the grain.

Back off a little bit and see the great results!

Microwave: You will need a water, lemon slices and that's it!
1. Full a bowl with some water and put the lemon slices in it.
2. Put the bowl inside your microwave and warm it for 5 minutes.
3. Remove the bowl and wipe the inside of your microwave with a soft cloth. All the gunk should be removed easily.

For a durable result, wipe the inside of your microwave every time you use it. It only takes a few seconds!

Blender: Two things: soap and water.
1. Put soap and warm water in your blender.
2. Start to blend and let it do so for a few seconds.
3. Rinse, dry and done!


Stove (drip pans): All you need is baking soda and soap.
1. Remove the burners and the pans from the stove.
2. Shake the pans over the trash to remove the most of the gunk.
3. Combine the baking soda and the soap in a little bowl (1:1 ratio) and apply the paste all over the drips generously.
4. Scrub them a few second and let the mixture sit on it while you wash the hood of the stove.
5. Lift up the hood and wash the inside with the same mixture as the drips and remove it with a wet cloth.
6. Shut the hood, rinse the pans and replace them.

Now the top of your stove looks like a new one!






Refrigerator: Soap, warm water and a cloth well do the job.
1. With a bucket of warm soapy water, start by cleaning the doors and all the outside of the fridge.
2. Continue with the inside of the doors. Remove all the stuff and make sure that your wash all the baskets. Then replace the stuff.
3. Remove the stuff from the freezer and wash it from the top to buttom. Don't forget the air vent!
4. Remove all the stuff from the shelves of the refrigerator and wash them one-bye-one. Do the same for the drawers and let them dry while you clean all the sides of the fridge.
