When you move into a new home, it is equipped with top quality features. It is always a good idea to take good care of them so they can last you a very long time. When showerheads get dirty with mineral deposits, the water cannot flow evenly. Here are some ways to keep them clean!
One way is the remove the showerhead and soak it in vinegar. With a new showerhead, it will screw right on to the shower arm. If it is older, it will connect to a ball-shaped swivel end. If you have trouble removing it, a good way to clean it is to slip a rubber band over the top of the showerhead. Fill a plastic bag with white vinegar and slip the top of the band underneath the rubber band. After one hour, remove the bag and run your shower to flush it clean.
For a much deeper clean follow these steps from Better Homes and Gardens
DISCONNECT YOUR SHOWERHEAD
To disconnect the showerhead, unscrew the nut at the shower arm with a wrench, not pliers
RINSE
"Run a sharp blast of water through the showerhead by holding it upside down underneath a faucet. Your goal is to rinse loosened debris out through the opening that connects to the shower arm."
DISMANTLE AND CLEAN
If there are still mineral deposits, scrub the showerhead with an old toothbrush and vinegar. and then use a toothpick or safety pin to poke out additional deposits. Soak the parts in vinegar overnight to dissolve any remaining deposits. Rinse again.
REASSEMBLE AND REINSTALL
"First wrap new plumbing tape around the threads of the shower arm to ensure a good seal. Reattach the showerhead to the shower arm using the wrench. Protect the fixture's finish with soft rags or towels while you're working."

When it comes to your new home, there are several things you can do to prepare for those cold days. But don't forget about your lawn. Take proper care to avoid frozen lawns and plants this winter.
The exterior of your new home is just as important as the interior. Be sure to take good care of it throughout the year.
Buying or building a new home is a very important choice in life. The home you choose may grow with you for many years to come. It's vital that your new home now has the features you need as your get older. As time proceeds, you can always make changes to your home, but the more features it initially has, the better!
If your home is built with universal design, it is inherently accessible to the elderly, people with disabilities, and those without. Universal Design focuses on function and style for everyone. This includes single-story floor plans, wider doorways and hallways, step-free entries, and counters at the right level that that are easy to grab.
New homes that are built with low-maintenance yards are becoming more popular, especially here in El Paso with our desert climate. Desert landscaping can look very beautiful and requires very little maintenance. This can be very beneficial if you lead a very busy life and as your grow older.

Next week is Thanksgiving! If you have just moved into your new home, it can be an exciting time to host your first Thanksgiving dinner in your new dining room! Everyone has their own style, and for every style, you can decorate your table setting to reflect it. Here are some ideas!
For a more casual but delicious table setting, try a cheese & fruit board in the center of your dining room table. It'll be a simple appetizer until you serve the turkey. For a healthy appetizer option, use clear vases of different sizes and fill them with fresh veggies. It'll add some color to your table and be accessible for easy snacking.
To add some color, fill large glass vases with color floral arrangements. Mixing golds, reds, oranges, and purples will liven up the table! And to give it that autumn feel, try small pumpkins, gourds, and squashes as table decor.
If you are looking for a cozy Thanksgiving dining table setting, spread some candles around the table or simply place a candle in the middle of a fall wreath and you instantly have a beautiful table setting.
Keep it family friendly! To keep the centerpieces playful, display a Thanksgiving craft your son or daughter made in school. They'll love it, and it can start a family Thanksgiving tradition.
Pointe Homes knows how important your home and your family is.

There are several options available when you are choosing the material for your kitchen countertops in the kitchen of your new home. You can find the right one depending on your style, needs and budget. HGTV gives their pros and cons for several choices!
QUARTZ
Quartz tops are practically maintenance free since they are engineered stain, acid, scratch, heat and impact resistant and, because they have a non-porous surface, don't need to be sealed like natural stone countertops. They are available in a wide range of colors and patterns.
POLISHED GRANITE
"Still the top choice of most homeowners, traditional granite countertops offer a high-end look that adds to your kitchen's value while providing a durable prep surface." Granite is a natural material, which allows for variation in the stone's pattern. The cost of granite and quartz are comparable "but natural granite requires a bit more care than manufactured quartz to keep its good looks — wipe up all stains quickly, especially oils, wine, acids and soda, and follow a regular sealing routine — typically once a year."
LAMINATE
For the most budget-friendly option, laminate countertops is the best option. They now come in new patterns that resemble natural stone, wood or even quartz so they are still popular.
WOOD
Butcher-block-style wood countertops will give the kitchen in your new home a cozy, cottage feel. "Both decorative and functional, this hardworking surface is ideal for food prep — properly sealed, wood countertops are sanitary even for chopping meat." Wood is highly heat-resistant so you don't have to worry about putting hot pots and pans on the surface. It is budget friendly, so you can even think about mixing wood countertops with other surfaces like natural or engineered stone to provide a variety of prep surfaces.
MARBLE
Marble is both aesthetically pleasing and helps to disguise wear and hide light stains. "With timeless appeal, this stone gives any kitchen a decidedly high-end look and, although the cost is comparable to some granites, marble is porous so staining can be a problem."
STAINLESS STEEL
Metal will coordinate with any color and is one of the easiest countertop materials to clean — just wipe off stains with a cloth and mild soap. And because it inhibits bacterial buildup, it the most hygienic countertop available.

Yes, we still have warm days in El Paso, but the nights are getting chilly and we'll soon feel the temperatures drop! And when it gets colder, it'll be time to turn on the fireplace in your new home. While it is still warm outside, here are some tips you can follow to care for the fireplace to keep it safe and working well throughout the winter.
CLEANING THE FIREPLACE
Before using your fireplace, be sure to get it inspected and have your chimney cleaned, whether your fireplace is wood or gas burning, to prevent buildup of hazardous soot and debris. It's important to call a certified chimney inspector instead of trying to clean it yourself because they can also check for gas leaks (gas chimneys), and structural and lining damage, which can lead to house fires and poor-quality air buildup.
USING QUALITY WOOD
Only use dense firewood, like maple and oak. These types of wood an produce more heat and burn longer. Using firewood that is green or comes from resinous tree species, like pine can be very dangerous because it is prone to combustion.
PROPER BUILDING
Only use kindling like dry twigs or sticks as igniters instead of flammable liquids or paper. Always make sure the wood is placed on a grate toward the back of the fireplace and never build the fire too large. This can cause too much smoke and heat, which crack your chimney.
ALWAYS USE A FIRE SCREEN
Fire screens or metal curtains in front of the fire to keep sparks and fallen wood pieces from flying into the room. Make sure the screen covers the entire opening of your fireplace or debris could find its way through and be dangerous to your family and your home.
HOME FIRE SAEFTY
Lighting a fire in your fireplace can be very cozy. But you are near fire, which can be dangerous. So be sure to take all the necessary precautions. Make sure your smoke detectors have working batteries and have your fire extinguisher inspected by a professional. Once you are finished with the fire, make sure it’s fully extinguished before leaving your home or going to bed. Never leave a fire unattended.
We want you to enjoy your new home, but we also want you and your family to stay safe. Before lighting the first fire in your fireplace of your new home, follow these tips so you and your family can have many happy years in your home.
