(Family Features) Having your car professionally detailed is likely to set you back a chunk of change, but with the right supplies and a little spare time, you can get similar results at home.
Whether you’re washing away winter grime or just giving your ride some overdue attention, follow these steps to get your vehicle in tiptop shape.
Assess your vehicle’s condition. If there’s a specific problem you need to address, such as stains or excessive insect buildup on your front bumper, those are areas you’ll want to focus your time, energy and budget.
Purchase the necessary supplies. A car cleaning kit could simplify the shopping process, but you may need to supplement with additional items, such as a spot treater, to achieve the best results. The essentials include a sturdy bucket, washing mitt, soft bristle brush, soft rags, a dust rag, automotive soap, glass cleaner, a vinyl or interior-safe cleanser, vacuum and wax, if you wish.
Empty the vehicle.
Removing all your personal possessions provides a blank slate for cleaning and prevents you from having to work around or worry about damaging your belongings. Also remove any elements of the vehicle you may want to clean separately, such as floor mats, console inserts and other removable pieces.
Tackle the interior. Start by removing debris from crevices and wiping away dust and other gunk. Then, with the initial layer of mess removed, go back and wipe down all surfaces using a cleanser. You can also

clean the interior windows at this stage, and be sure to wipe down the console, especially if you have a touchscreen that is covered with fingerprints.
Vacuum thoroughly. Using a small vacuum or hose with strong suction, pay special attention to high-traffic areas and spaces where trash and debris tend to settle, such as between the seat and console.

The floorboards will likely need the most attention, but don’t overlook the seats, and especially the area where the seat and back meet as this crevice can trap a great deal of dirt.
Clean the floor mats. Chances are good your floor mats rival the exterior for the dirt and grime they accumulate. Depending on how heavily soiled they are, and especially if they’re carpetstyle mats, you may want to shampoo them after a deep vacuuming to remove stubborn stains.
over rinse. Use a chamois towel or other drying cloth to avoid water spots.

Wash the exterior. Follow the instructions on the product’s label to wash your automobile’s exterior. Pay attention to special requirements such as allowing time for a bug remover to soak. In general, start with a rinse, followed by scrubbing with a mitt then an all-
Return belongings to the interior. Before you add everything back into your vehicle, take time to wipe down items and sort out any unnecessary clutter. It’s a good time to reorganize your storage areas to be sure the items you use frequently are in easy reach. You can also replenish supplies such as facial tissue and hand sanitizer.
Add finishing touches. If you’re using wax or planning on specialty treatments like tire cleaning, those will be among your final steps. Last but not least, clean the exterior windows with glass cleaner to remove streaks and leave them sparkling.

Rid Your Lawn of Bare Spots With These Tips
(StatePoint) Even if you have lush, green grass, your lawn may still have bare spots. Bare spots occur for a variety of reasons, and when they do, seldom fix themselves.
VALLEY AUCTIONS VALLEY HEALTH
To repair these areas and earn the title of best lawn on the block, consider these insights and tips from lawn care equipment manufacturer, Exmark.
Clear Your Lawn: The first thing you’ll need to do is clear your lawn of invasive weeds, dead grass and thatch. To give your new grass a fighting chance, the soil underneath needs to live its best life, first and foremost.
Prepare and Reseed: Soil that’s become hard and compacted won’t be ideal for the seed germination needed to replace barren spots with fresh growth. So, use a good, heavy garden rake to loosen the soil two to three inches deep.
If your soil’s dry, add fresh topsoil for a hearty mix of nutrients and grass-growing
energy to the depleted ground. Work the new soil in with the old and you’re on your way.
Now that your soil has what it needs, you’re ready to repair bare spots by applying new seed. Rake a seed type that matches your grass type into the soil. Always follow the directions on the bag closely, as applying too much seed in too small an area can cause the grass to grow to the point of choking itself out. This will land you right back to square one with a new bare spot to repair, so make sure you don’t put down
too much seed.
Feed After You Seed: All plants require six essential nutrients: oxygen, carbon and hydrogen, which are received aboveground through air and water, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which come from the soil. Every bag of plant food will contain three numbers separated by dashes. Understanding lawn and plant fertilizer numbers can help you grow your greenest lawn ever.
Post-Bare Spot Repair: You’ll want to keep your re-seeded area moist for at least a few weeks before new growth appears. Sprigs of new grass will start appearing before you know it, but it’s important to wait a few more weeks before mowing to allow new grass to become established
For more insights, watch “How to Repair Bare Spots in Your Lawn,” an episode of “Backyard Smart,” an original series from mower manufacturer, Exmark. To watch the video, visit Backyard Life, which is part of a unique multimedia destination with a focus on helping homeowners improve their outdoor living spaces. There you can also download additional tips and view other Exmark Original Series videos.
By following these steps, you can make lawn bare spots a thing of the past—and your dream lawn a reality of the near future!
Harness the Power of Walking Benefits of being physically active
VALLEY AUCTIONS VALLEY HEALTH
(Family Features) A walk isn’t just good for your body; it’s a simple, powerful way to care for your mind and soul. Physical activity, like walking, reduces stress, boosts mood and promotes overall wellbeing. Yet physical activity levels in the United States continue to decline, a trend threatening both mental and physical health.
Less than half of adults and fewer than 1 in 5 children in the U.S. get the recommended amount of physical activity needed for heart health, according to the American Heart Association’s 2025 Heart & Stroke Statistical Update.
National recommendations call for children to get at least one hour of physical activity each day, but the latest statistics show less than 19% of children in the U.S. achieve that target. Meanwhile, less than half of adults get the recommended 150 minutes or more of weekly physical activity.
What’s more, according to data from a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1 in 4 U.S. adults sits for longer than eight hours each day, which can have negative consequences on physical and mental health.
For decades, the American Heart Association has championed the importance of physical activity in communities across the country. These tips and information can help you understand how a brisk walk can make a world of difference for heart health and mental clarity.
Benefits of Physical Activity
Staying active is one of the best ways to keep your mind and body healthy.
The physical health benefits may be obvious, but research suggests physical activity can also help bring more joy to your life. According to the 2019 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, people who get the recommended amount of physical activity are less likely to experience depression.
Regular physical activity enhances your mood, sharpens your mind, improves sleep and boosts overall well-being, all while reducing the risk of disease and depression and increasing both the quality and longevity of life.
How to Be More Physically
Active
Exercise as simple as a brisk walk can put a major spring in your step. It can even energize you to finish other tasks at hand, whether it’s cooking or running errands. Give your daily physical activity level a boost with these tips:
* Exercising outdoors is a great way to get moving. Spending time outdoors has been shown to reduce stress, promote a sense of belonging and improve mood. It’s even better if you can enjoy the sunshine

Getting Pets
Involved Pets are part of your family, and they
can help you get healthy together. Pets provide a fun reason to spend more time outside and get the exercise needed to reduce the risk of disease later in life.
Getting moving along with your pet adds more exercise to your routine, which means living longer, reducing risk of dying from heart attack or stroke, reducing risk of diabetes, reducing stress and even boosting your overall happiness and well-being.
Exercising with
