Now I’m just as excited about exfoliation as the next warm blooded American man, but it is absolutely your area rugs’ worst enemy. When dry soil gets on and in an oriental rug it exfoliates the surface of the fiber. If you have rugs, they have soil in them.

I took my first trip to the west coast. It just so happens that my first trip away from the east coast was to Hawaii. Our flight itinerary was from Atlanta to Phoenix, and from Phoenix to Honolulu. All in all, it was about an 11 hour flight. But it was entirely worth it! Hawaii is truly everything that I imagined. The sunsets, the beaches, the fresh air, the surfing, the palm trees, the hula dances.... It was the definition of what a vacation should be.
While on Oahu, here are some fun ideas/tips for you and/or your family:

Another year has gone by which has yielded new experiences, interesting facts and challenging situations. I thought I would share with you at least one interesting lesson I learned this year.
If you are storing your wedding dress, whether you're keeping it for the memories or are planning on passing it down to a future generation, be aware that there is the possibility of mysterious stains appearing on the fabric after it has been cleaned a couple of times and sometimes decades later. What is the cause? The oxidation of sugar could be the culprit.

Grease fires occur when oil or grease type foods are heated and ignite. They happen most often when food is cooking and the cook leaves the room, becomes distracted or even forgets that the food is cooking. Such a fire can do significant damage, especially if it extends to surrounding cabinets or other combutilble items. If unnoticed, a grease fire can easily extend to a major house fire, engulfing the entire kitchen, adjacent rooms or even the attic.
What should you do if there is a kitchen fire? When if doubt, just get out. If you do vacate the house, shut the door behind you to help contain the fire. Call 911 after you leave.

My wife (Jennifer) and I had a most enjoyable time this past Saturday night. Being country music fans, we were excited to have tickets for Blake Shelton’s concert at the Fred Brown Jr. Amphitheater in Peachtree City. Rain and cooler temperatures were predicted for Saturday, but held off until Sunday, which we were very happy about.
As it turns out, we had Atlanta Braves pitcher Tim Hudson, and his wife Kim, to thank for bringing this concert to town. The concert was a fund-raiser for the Hudson Family Foundation.

Flooding can happen almost anywhere it rains. In fact, floods are the most common natural disaster in the U.S. We at Champion have been committed to serving the Atlanta area since 1970 as a trusted restoration company in the industry. We understand water damage is an emergency, this is why technicians are dispatched within minutes to the loss. The property's successful restoration depends largely on receiving immediate response, and the fastest drying possible. Champion has crews on-call 24/7, 365 a days. Our combination of an immediate response and leading edge technology returns the damage property back to normal faster than the traditional drying methods. It also substantially lowers the repair cost and time. After nearly 40 years of water removal, we are committed to the same outstanding service!
