We like the idea of spring cleaning for several reasons. First of all, it is a time to get organized – and who doesn’t need to do that, right? Second of all, spring cleaning can be a great time to “go green” in a wide variety of ways. With so much focus being put on the idea of being earth friendly and “going green” right now, especially because it is Earth Week, we are providing our favorite tips for a green spring cleaning this season.
Tip # 1 – Paper Recycling
If you have accumulated stacks of bills (those which you have already paid of course), receipts, outdated magazines, old newspapers, etc., now is the perfect time to get rid of them. Don’t just throw them away, though. Recycle them! Find out information about paper recycling by checking with your local county public works department. They can help you with information about local curbside recycling programs as well as community drop-off centers. Additionally, you can look under "Recycling" in your local yellow pages.
Tip # 2 – Use Green Cleaning Products
Once you have made it past the de-cluttering stage, it is time to get down & dirty and start cleaning. In terms of being green and not producing even more waste, be sure to steer clear of using paper towels. Instead, you can use old worn-out t-shirts or rags to wipe down windows and other surfaces. Using natural cleaning products is your best option, many of which you can make very inexpensively with things you already have in your pantry such as vinegar and baking soda. If you do not want to make your own products, look for biodegradable and plant-based products on the market such as Clorox's new line of “Green Works” items.
Tip # 3 – Spruce Up Your Room with Pre-Owned Furniture from AMC Liquidators
If you want to give your living space a new, fresh look to go along with your spring cleaning, why not get a few new pieces of furniture? First, if you will be getting rid of old furniture, make sure to donate it or give it away rather than putting it in the trash. Donating your furniture keeps it out of a landfill and also creates a tax deduction for you! When you are looking for new furniture pieces to replace the ones you are leaving behind, try furniture liquidators like AMC Liquidators. You can get quality pre-owned furniture at deeply discounted prices for any room in your home. While you are organizing and de-cluttering your home, check out the filing cabinets, book shelves, and other organization solutions offered at AMC Furniture Outlet!

Top 5 Tips for a Greener Earth – Happy Earth Day!
More then ever people are becoming more concerned about the future of our planet. With all of the focus on “going green”, here are five easy recycling tips that you can use to get you started on making every day Earth Day.
Cardboard Boxes
Many earth conscience people dream of one day living in a paperless world, but that may be just a dream. The experts say that paper still makes up about 35 percent of our total waste. There are many ways in which we can cut down on our paper usage. The main way is simply reusing the things we already have in our homes. For example, if you sometimes make purchases that come packaged in boxes, why not reuse them to ship an item or save them for your next big moving day? Store clothes and shoes in them until you are ready to make your next donation. Then just take the box and all the stuff straight to the donation drop off. Cardboard boxes can be flattened out and can easily be stored under the bed or in the garage, then quickly reassembled again with packing tape.
Aluminum Cans and Foil
The use of aluminum cans has been in existence since the 1800’s. Beverages began to be sold in aluminum cans in the mid 1960’s. Aluminum is probably the most recycled of all recyclables today mainly because of its value. You can actually make money by turning in used aluminum and metals to a metal recycling center.
Aluminum foil can generally be recycled with your aluminum cans however recycling centers vary in this regard so check with your local center. You can reuse aluminum foil in the home if you wash it thoroughly. It is not wise to reuse aluminum foil that has come into contact with raw meat.
Plastic Bottles and Bags
We seem to be surrounded by plastic water bottles these days. In 2006, 17 million barrels of oil were used to produce the water bottles used for that year. Most plastic bottles are made from a material called PETE or polyethylene terephthalate because of its versatility.
Most American households have a stash of plastic bags hidden somewhere in their kitchen or garage. Although most people use them daily, they rarely ever get recycled. Most recycling centers do not except plastic bags as part of its curbside pick-up program making them the number one priority for environmental waste. Most grocery stores do have a drop-off bin for plastic grocery bags, so be sure to look for them at your neighborhood store!
Electronics
With each new year comes a host of new electronic gadgets such as cell phones, TV’s, computers, CD and DVD Players, video games, printers and other office machinery. If you are thinking about upgrading any of your electronics, be sure to either donate the old ones or take them to the recycling center instead of tossing them out into the garbage.
Automotives and Household Appliances
Some of the largest items to hit our landfills are old tires, car batteries, auto bodies, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators and furniture. All of these items can either be repurposed or taken to a recycling center in your local area.
We hope you will take Earth Day as an opportunity to start reducing, reusing, and recycling! AMC Liquidators is excited to help celebrate Earth Day by offering several choices in pre-owned furniture which keeps it out of landfills! Remember, AMC Liquidators Furniture Outlet also offers furniture repair, refinishing, and restoration to help you recycle your old furniture, too.

Restoring Your Furniture with Creative Painting
Over the years, you may have accumulated several different pieces of furniture. You may have received a few pieces here and there from family members, some from the few garage sales or yard sales you visited, and maybe even some cheap pieces that you bought when you got your first place after moving from your parents’ home. Obviously, this furniture is completely mismatched, and instead of throwing it out or leaving it by the curb for neighborhood treasure hunters to get a hold of, why not try having it painted to match?

Also, a design to match the molding on the modern pieces you already have can be added to the mismatched pieces. You will be thrilled to see the difference this can make! There are so many different techniques that can be used to paint your wood furniture. Our special team uses rubber stamps, pigment inks, embossing powders, watercolors, paper, sandpaper, decoupage glue, decoupage varnish, tack cloth, embossing heat tools, and wood paints all to embellish and brighten your furniture.

Furnishing Your Rental Property
As the economy slows, you may be finding that you are having a difficult time renting out your investment properties. A good way to get renters in the door is to provide a fully furnished home. This provides added value and can be done on a shoe string budget if you look to furniture liquidators such as AMC Liquidators.
Furniture liquidators are great places to start when looking to furnish your seasonal or rental income properties. You won’t need to pay high prices for brand new furniture, because furniture liquidators have quality pre-owned furniture in excellent to like-new condition for less! Also, they tend to have brand new furniture which is received from furniture store closeouts. The prices of furniture from a furniture liquidator store are phenomenally lower than brand new retail store furniture. Sometimes it is as much as 90% percent off retail prices. You will save money by not having to ship or drive your furniture back and forth to each home you are living in, plus, you will reduce the amount of damage to the furniture that comes from moving location to location.
Keep in mind that your rental income properties can not only be rented more quickly, but you can actually command a higher rental amount with a fully furnished home as it allows your rental tenants to move right in without needing to go out and buy brand new furniture to furnish the home they are renting. It will increase the amount of rent you may ask to be compensated for and ultimately put more cash in your pocket each month. Basically, your new furniture will be paid off in this manner with no cost to you when it is all said and done. It’s a very attractive amenity to renters, and many are willing to pay more for this type of amenity because paying extra monthly is better than paying a lump sum amount right away to try and furnish a place that doesn’t belong to them in the first place.

The Benefits of Furniture Restoration and Refinishing for Home or Office
If you are furniture shopping and spending tons of time browsing advertisements for an upcoming sale or if find yourself searching store after store for furniture that fits your style – you could be wasting your time. Instead, you may want to think about what you could do with the furniture you still have at your home or office. Is it still viable furniture that is in decent condition with just a bit of wear and tear? If it is, then maybe you should think about either restoring or refinishing your existing home or office furniture. Furniture from the average, run-of-the-mill retailer is over priced and most of the time the furniture is imported and made from cheap materials such as flimsy particle or press board. These types of materials tend to get ruined easily and are typically not made to last for very long. Good quality furniture is made up of materials such as good solid woods like pine, cherry, or oak. Also, quality furniture is put together with solid nails, and not cheap replacements such as plastic anchors and drawer pulls that some furniture is being made with today.
When you decide to renew some of your well-made furniture with restoration or refinishing techniques, you are not only saving money, but you can create a whole new style. Before deciding to restore your furniture, you just need to first evaluate the pieces to ensure you are making the right decision. You should determine the age of each piece, the value of it, and what kind of finish or restoration is needed. Simple refinishing techniques or very detailed, extensive restoration can be performed depending on what is needed to make the pieces look new again.
Remember, restoring and refinishing is much more cost effective than buying new furniture. It is also better for the environment. When you decide on recycling your old furniture, be sure to choose a company that has years of experience and a professional staff such as AMC Furniture Restoration Services. Our experts can help you determine which services would be best for the type of furniture you are bringing in and can even color match if you have decided on a whole new style to match with your other house or office furniture. AMC Furniture Restoration services can also refurbish antique furniture and repair your wood furniture back to its original beauty.
