Today's quote comes from Peter Walsh. Known for his numerous TV shows and books, Peter Walsh is an Australian American professional organizer, with well over 20 years of experience. Apart from being the author of seven New York Times best-selling books on organizing, he's been on the "The Rachael Ray Show" a multitude of times, was not only a regular, but given the nickname of the "Get Your Life Organized Guy" on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", had his own radio show, and has also hosted numerous shows, going all the way back to the early 2000's. Having started his career in teaching and health promotion, he also holds a master's degree in Educational Psychology. Through his holistic practices, he helps people clear up the clutter and take back their spaces, rather than let their possessions take ownership of them. And with that being said, we bring you today's quote. “Your home should be the antidote to stress, not the cause of it.”

Our reveal for this week's is Chelo's Hometown Bar & Grille, located in Woonsocket, RI. Founded in 1955 by four brothers in Cumberland, Rhode Island, Chelo’s began as a small family-run restaurant known for its custom-grilled burgers, fresh desserts, and signature fish and chips. For years, they've consistently run daily appetizer specials, as well as discounted meals just about everyday of the week. This specific location is especially known by generations of locals for their iconic train that circulates through one of their dining rooms.

Over the decades, Chelo's has grown into Rhode Islands largest family-owned restaurant chain, with over half a dozen locations across the state, and a central commissary in Warwick that maintains quality and consistency across all sites. The business has remained family-operated, with the founders' sons taking on various roles from dishwashing to management.

Throughout the years, Chelo’s has earned multiple accolades, with not just food, but service that has earned them recognition and awards, built a loyal team—some with over 30 years of service—, employed generations of local families, and really given meaning to the word "tradition", all while giving back generously to the community through sports sponsorships and charitable donations. With ideals and a background like theirs, it's no wonder Chelo's has been in business for 70 years. But don't take our word for it. Give them a visit and see for yourself!

Mold and rust may occur naturally, but you don't have to live with them—they’re not just unsightly, they can be harmful to your health. Rusty objects can carry tetanus spores, posing serious risk if you’re scratched or punctured, so always wear gloves, sleeves, and protective gear when handling them. Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) releases toxic mycotoxins that can trigger allergies, asthma, fatigue, respiratory issues, and even require hospitalization after prolonged exposure—especially for children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Bleach can make black mold worse on some surfaces, so use safer methods and gear up. Regular cleaning, fixing leaks, and proper ventilation are key to prevention. Know your products, never mix chemicals, and always clean with care!

Today's quote comes from a Japanese organizing & decluttering expert and mother of 3. Marie Kondo, also referred to as KonMari, is quite known for her unique method that encourages keeping only items that "spark joy." This method of hers is practiced by many decluttering professionals and those seeking transition into a minimalist lifestyle.

She gained worldwide recognition through her book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" and her Netflix show "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo." Her approach emphasizes emotional connection, gratitude, and intentional living over strict minimalism. By promoting mindful decluttering, Marie Kondo has inspired people around the world to create more peaceful and purposeful homes.

The "KonMari Method" unfolds in five key steps:
1 - Make a firm decision to tidy up.
2 - Envision your ideal lifestyle.
3 - Declutter completely before organizing.
4 - Sort belongings by category—not by location.—
5 - Reflect on whether each item truly brings you joy.

We hope her quote gives you the motivation you need when taking on your decluttering! If you've run out of motivation and need someone to take care of your cleaning, give us a call and let S&J Kleaners of New England take care of the rest for you! (774)318-4901. Our team is always motivated to give you the best results.

We held off on this week’s reveal to post it on April 18—an important date in American history. On this night in 1775, Paul Revere began his famous Midnight Ride to warn patriots like Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the British were coming, just before the start of the American Revolutionary War. That warning links directly to this week’s featured location—two iconic Boston skyscrapers that carry John Hancock’s name.

The tallest building in New England, the John Hancock Tower (officially 200 Clarendon Street), rises 790 feet with a dazzling mirrored facade. Nearby, the historic Berkeley Building—known as the “Old John Hancock Building”—stands 495 feet tall and still bears Hancock’s name. It’s also home to a beloved weather beacon: red for rain, blue for clear skies. Both structures honor John Hancock, the bold signer of the Declaration of Independence, and serve as proud symbols of Boston’s revolutionary spirit and skyline.
