Mammograms in Scottsdale Saturday, June 25, 2011!

Good afternoon to all our friends out there.  I just forwarded an email we received from the Home & Design Idea Center in Scottsdale to our mailing list, but I know there are people who out there who are not part of the list. (Surprise, surprise!) Please note that time is of the essence so, for those who are interested or for those who know people who are in need of a mammogram, the mobile mammogram will be at the HDIC on Saturday.     Appointments must be scheduled today!

If you end up going over to the Home  & Design Idea Center on Saturday, take a walk through the building and look at all the neat vignettes set up there. If you're looking to do some sort of home improvement or remodel, you're bound to get some ideas. Make sure to stop by vignette 2068 and ZAP our barcode. We will call you to see how we can help you with your project, AND your name will also be entered in our monthly drawing.

Email We Received From HDIC Is As Follows:  

Home & Design Idea Center visitors and vendors, don't miss the opportunity to care for yourself. A mammogram mobile unit will be at the Home & Design Idea Center on Saturday, June 25 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. providing mammograms. Most doctors feel that early detection tests for breast cancer save thousands of lives each year, and that many more lives could be saved if more women took advantage of these tests.    

For more information and to book your appointment, call 1-888-233-6121. Mobile mammograms will be provided by the Breast Assured mobile unit. ALL insurance companies are accepted, and should you not have insurance, the fee is only $150.00.   

Please take a moment and forward this to all the women in your life, their lives are worth it.    

You must register by Thursday, June 23, 2011.

Thank You,
Home & Design Idea Center Staff

I thank you, too. Remember, for all your home improvement needs, we are just a phone call away.

And the Winner Is....

Randy B. of Glendale is the lucky winner of our Norwex rag this month. He "zapped" the barcode in our vignette at the Home & Design Idea Center last weekend in order to have his name entered into the drawing. Randy, look for the rag in your mailbox within the next couple days.

This past weekend was really active at the HDIC. It makes me think that they've been doing some good advertising because there certainly was no shortage of people. Maybe the people have been passing the word, who knows! Anyhow, we sure enjoyed meeting all kinds of new people and even saw some of our previous customers as well. As always, it was a pleasure.

Mark your calendars for July 9. That's the next MEET THE EXPERTS weekend at HDIC. (In case you don't know, MEET THE EXPERTS is the second weekend of every month.)

Have a super day! Remember, for all your home improvement needs, whether it be kitchen or bath remodel, whole house remodels, additions, landscaping, interior/exterior painting, waterscapes or other, TraVek is only a phone call away (480-367-1171). We look forward to hearing from you.

TraVek Found A Perfect Rag For Cleaning Granite!

Here at TraVek, Inc. our tagline for a long time mentioned quality service for quality life.  Definitely our purpose is to give you added quality and enjoyment to life through the pleasant surroundings we can design and build for you right within your own walls. We also enjoy looking at the whole picture, and when we see something else that can lend quality to life, we want to pass it on.

Some of us here at TraVek, Inc. have been using Norwex products for some time already. Today I decided to look at their website, and couldn't help but notice their tagline is "Improving Quality of Life".

Briefly, Norwex is environmentally friendly cleaning solutions and products. You don't have to worry about inhaling all kinds of chemicals that may burn your lungs or hurt your eyes. It's gentle and clean. The main product most of us have been enjoying is the cleaning rag. We've found that they work splendid on granite counter tops! You don't have to worry about smears or shine; it leaves no smear and gives lots of shine.

Following is a brief excerpt of what I include in the package of our Monthly Norwex product winners:

NORWEX ENVIRO PRODUCTS

“Clean Without Chemicals”

Why Norwex?

Save Money – This will reduce the use of chemicals, sponges, and paper towels up to 90%!

Save Time – Our cleaning system saves time & effort, making life easier.

Better Health – You don’t breathe, touch or ingest chemicals. Dirt & dust are removed instead of spread around. It removes 99% of bacteria from surfaces. This is a great benefit to those with allergies and asthma.

Better Environment – You will be doing your part to preserve the environment by reducing the amount of chemicals used.

It’s Tried & True – True life story…one of our member’s wife was hospitalized for six weeks. During that time, the dishrag did not get changed at home. No kidding, there was no bad smell to the rag, although it was feeling rather grimy by that time. We don’t recommend six weeks without washing, but you get the point!

We LOVE it! - The most exciting discovery for us was how well it works to clean & shine granite.

How Do I Use It?

                               

The Antibac Enviro Cloth can be used for all surfaces. Clean everything using only water. Works great on walls, windows, sinks, tubs, and also as a remover of certain stains on furniture and carpeting such as color crayons or pencil. Can be used dry for dusting. When washing windows, it is recommended to use the NORWEX window cloth to polish the surface as well.

Maintenance:

By Machine - Wash slightly dirty cloths with a little dish/laundry soap and hot water. Wash and with low lint items. DO NOT USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENER.

By Stove – Cloths can be boiled for 15 minutes to release dirt and grime.

Why is TraVek giving me this cloth? (Since we discovered the cloth we have been drawing a monthly giveaway winner from our new contact and current remodeling customer list.)

Simply because we love the cloths so much, we figured our friends and customers would like them, too.  Many of you have granite countertops, and we have found it to work so well in shining them up, so we are passing on a fantastic product!

Where can I get more NORWEX ENVIRO products?

What Makes A House A Home?

They say that kitchens and bathrooms are the biggest determining factors in selling a home. Well, if you are staying in your home you need not worry about the features for re-sale. Instead you need to concern yourself with, "Does this kitchen fit my lifestyle?"

Granite countertops alone will not make a kitchen a great. Consider the layout. If you enjoy baking and cooking, are the oven/stove, refrigerator and baking cupboards in close proximity to each other so there is nice work flow? How about the mixer? Do you have room on the counter to pull it out? Where do you roll out pie crusts?

Think of your family. If you have children, is there a place for them to sit and do homework while you putter in the kitchen? Or is there a spot for your spouse to pull up a chair in the corner and visit or read? Is there room for more than one in the kitchen?

How about the bathroom? Do you want it strictly functional, as a place where you can run in and out of the shower? Or would you rather have it as a place you can go to relax in the tub?

There is all this and much more to consider when making your house a home.  Of course we know that when it comes right down to it, a house is made of four walls, and a home is made of love alone, but if you can, why not have a beautiful house to make your home?
