This shrub does well pruned back in later winter, like a lot of shrubs. You can prune that old tangled growth down to the ground, as it'll be quickly replaced by new shoots in the spring. Between cuts, keep a cup of rubbing alcohol by you to dip the pruners in between each cut to keep the probability of disease from spreading- just as a precaution. For a future idea, pachysandra is a great ground cover that doesn't require pruning or cleaning up. It should be more widely used, as it is a tame and beautiful, tough ground cover. I added a link to what I'm talking about here. Hope this helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Pachysandra Green Sheen

EXACTLY! After throwing a fit, I finally got my appliances ordered last May on October 18. They substituted a SHarpe microwave because the LG is now on back order at Lowes! (the microwave IS available thru LG website however) And they substituted another model for my LG Range. It was a slightly more expensive model, so we didn't gripe, but it came with no racks, no installation package, no warranty info, no user manual, no air fry tray, no built in thermomter. I spent hours talking to LG AND to Lowes. Finally had to order the installation package myself at $71 and Lowe's is supposed to give me a gift card for that amount. Lowe's optional solution was to order a completely new range (which is out of stock now and not expected til after the new year). They OBVIOUSLY robbed Peter to pay Paul. During this whole process, I have spent 2 hours with my Lowe's designer selecting appliances that were "in stock" and endless hours on the phone reporting delivery damages, missing appliances, and trying to rectify errors.

A swiffer is a help but it doesn’t seem to get larger particles, not dust, which come from who knows where. Also, any small lego pieces the grandkids happen to accidentally drop and which slide under the sofa. Once something is under there, it’s a massive job to lift the sectional pieces. They also don’t slide. We control clutter and do daily normal cleaning as well as frequent weekly vacuuming, mopping, dusting, etc. in between regular vacuuming, I use a Robot vacuum. Its not a huge deal, just temporarily irritating whem I shine a flashlight under the sectional and see how much debris is under there.
