An interior decorator, Mrs Abiola Mark, has given tips on effective ways of maintaining the homes.
In an interview with The Tide correspondent, Chief Executive Officer of Titan Décor, a Port Harcourt- based interior and outdoor decoration outfit, Mrs Mark stated, that many people contemplate on how to maintain the beauty of their homes and save time and money”.
“People generally clean the easily seen parts of the house, forgetting that those hidden areas could harbour all manners of creatures including reptiles”, she said.
On house cleaning, Mark, advised home owners to draw up daily, weekly and monthly schedules on how to clean the house and be sure to follow up this schedules to the letter, pointing out that the end result will make you happy.
She also said effective cleaning of your homes, helps keep moths, ants, rodents and webs, as well as mosquitoes away from your houses.
Another tip to maintaining a comfortable home, according to the decoration specialist, is adequate ventilation.
She said, keeping the windows and doors shut all the time is not a good practice, saying, keep windows and doors open for several hours a day to let out smoke and fumes in order not to discolour the paint or wallpaper in your house”.
On energy consumption, she said it is advisable, “to keep off heat and unseen ultraviolet rays, and change from light bulbs that produce light by heating a filament to energy bulbs, which even last longer, though they are a little bit more expensive”.
She stressed the need to cultivate the habit of turning off any bulb not in use at every given time and also turning off all appliances anytime you are going out of the house. “This will prevent electrical fires and help prolong the life span of your appliances.”

Testimonials
My wife & I had not purchased a home in over 35 years. Now, late in life, we found ourselves in need of a home, having retired from pastoring and living in parsonages. We were lost really. Our children wanted us fairly close to them. Our son, a police officer, wanted us in a safe area, but our budget dictated a modest home and modest price. We were tired before we started looking! But God sent Diane Evans to be our guide, advisor, encourager, consultant, protector, and negotiator-WOW! All this i…
Clif & Donna
We had a great experience. Our realtor, Diane Evans, was very patient with us while we were looking. She was always available and eager to help us find just the right home.
Karen
We have all the confidence in the world in you and Barry. Your advice and coaching were invaluable in protecting our equity and in getting the house under contract so quickly. We also want to be mindful of your schedules.
Thank you Barry for all the work while on the road. You guys exceed all expectations.....
From our client
This is the second home that I have bought. My first was several years ago and it was for sale by owner. Buying my current home was the first time I have worked with a realtor. I had a good experience with Keller Williams Realty. Barry Evans was very friendly and professional. I would recommend Keller Williams Realty to a friend.
Toni
Barry was extremely conscientious and thorough, and his patience was above and beyond. We worked well together, and he was able to adapt to our changing ideas of what we wanted in a home. Barry’s calm and professional but friendly demeanor made him a pleasure to be with. He always did what he said he would do.
Mike & Karen
This is the fourth time we have worked with the Evans Group in buying or selling a home. When we first moved to Chattanooga in 2008 without any contacts in the area, we somewhat blindly selected the Evans Group. I feel very fortunate to have found them, as they have been nothing but professional, kind and pleasant to work with. We’ve always had a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone without reservation.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Diane & Barry two times. They were professional, helpful and make a great selling team. Each one of them had their specialty and made the experience enjoyable.” September 2019

Barry Evans was very knowledgeable and helpful during our purchase process. There wasn’t a lot on the market and he helped us see things “outside of our box” and we ended up falling in love with a house we would have initially not given a second thought to.
Kelly and Candace
I felt very comfortable working to find the right house with Diane. I also knew I could call & ask her opinion on anything. when I was struggling with the finance staff Diane would step in and push to get answers & make sure that I was getting the credit information. When the interest rate did not get locked & rate went up she was very helpful in assisting me to fight to get it fixed.
Grace
Diane was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She answered all of my questions and explained everything in terms we could understand. She made our first home buying experience easy and fun. Barry and Diane had also been referred by 2 families.
