(BPT) - That time of year is almost here - pro football championship Sunday. According to the National Chicken Council’s 2012 Wing Report, the big game is the second biggest eating holiday after Thanksgiving. With the big game comes big prep and cleanup.
Even the most diligent person can’t do it alone. While some may be intimidated by the mess left by overly excited fans, there are a few suggestions to help you get through the cleanup and salvage your home from the nacho cheese caked in the carpet and the deep drink spills on the couch.
