Your San Mateo apartment with washer and dryer appliances provides you with quick and easy access to the amenities needed when it’s time for laundry chores. With the convenience of a full-size washer and dryer in your apartment, you don’t have to worry about packing up your clothes and dealing with a commute to a local laundromat. You have everything you need right here at home.
When you are ready to do your laundry, you can save some money, waste less product and still get your clothes bright and clean by using less detergent in the wash. The cleanliness of your laundry isn’t determined by the amount of soap powder or liquid you use, and a huge quantity of suds doesn’t mean your clothes will be any cleaner.
BrightNest even recommends cutting the suggested amount of detergent in half instead of relying on the measuring cups accompanying your laundry detergent. Using less detergent is more beneficial for your laundry because nearly all detergents are concentrated and are formulated for maximum cleaning power with the least possible amount used. The more detergent you use, the more wear and tear your washer will experience.

The patios and balconies of 888 San Mateo’s brand new apartments offer just enough space for urban container gardening. But water consumption for gardening can interfere with eco-friendly lifestyles, especially in the thick of California’s drought.
However, there are ways to make a container garden more environmentally friendly by saving water.
Drought-tolerant containers can help lessen the need for frequent watering, and potting soils that have higher water retention properties allow the soil to store water more efficiently until plants consume it.
Another way to conserve water is by making sure plants are not in direct sunlight unless its mandatory for them to thrive, as the sun can quickly and easily cause a plant (and the soil) to dry out.
One of the fantastic features of 888 San Mateo’s Peninsula apartments is the smart (and green) landscaping on the property that helps save water as part of a dedication to eco-friendly apartment living.

Sometimes all that’s needed for a great workout is the right music for motivation, but using the same playlist over and over again can get boring and make workouts drab, too. The right tunes get the body moving in our state-of-the-art fitness center, cardio theater, and yoga and Pilates studio at our San Mateo apartment community. Read on for some inspiring playlist picks.
Keep a couple different themed playlists on your iPod for a fresh workout every time. Build one with the hottest workout songs and create another with the best of the 90’s or 80’s. Build a playlist of songs just for cycling, the elliptical, lifting weights, and doing aerobics, too.
Looking for a running remix for the treadmill? Mix it up with a variety of pop songs (like Janet Jackson’s “Feedback”) and rock songs (like Metallica’s “My Apocalypse”). The variety can help with both short sprints and long, uphill climbs.
Interested in what the professionals listen to when they work out? Celebrity fitness instructors’ playlists include upbeat pop songs like “Dog Days Are Over” to old favorites like “Landslide” by the Smashing Pumpkins, which goes to show that a good workout playlist doesn’t always have to be filled with dance and techno tunes. As long as a song, fast or slow, sparks energy and drive, it can be a perfect addition to workouts.

Trying to live a greener life in your pet-friendly apartments in San Mateo? There are many ways to live an eco-friendly existence in your daily life, including while you’re at the dog wash station with your favorite dog. Stay green while you’re grooming with these helpful suggestions.
Use grooming products that are free of harmful chemicals, which not only hurt the environment but can also be dangerous to your pet. Some of the ingredients to avoid include sodium lauryl sulfate and parabens.
Try natural products instead, like Paw Earth shampoo, Earthbath Grooming Wipes, and Cain & Able KissAble Toothpaste. Just don’t pick up any products that contain Tea Tree Oil; though it’s okay for humans, it can be harmful to dogs and cats.
Don’t put your pet under the dryer. Head outdoors for the most natural way to dry off: in the air. If you do have to dry your pet, make sure the air is cool. If your dog sheds a lot, keep him well-brushed to avoid mats and tangles.

A San Mateo apartment with oversized windows offers plenty of natural light and beautiful views. When decorating or redecorating apartment interiors, make the most of this fabulous feature and create a winter window garden.
While the temperatures outside might be too chilly for houseplants or other flora, the climate-controlled interior of an apartment, combined with the sunny, oversized windows, offers an excellent spot filled with natural light where plants can thrive.
A variety of unique and attractive plant hangers can fit perfectly in windows, and hangers of different styles and sizes can complement an existing decor theme. Alternatively, a plant stand can be used to allow the houseplant to have as much exposure to the sun as possible, or an extended windowsill can be created by adding a short bookcase or cabinet.
