Summer is coming to a close. But don't get out your sweaters just yet

I have some ideas for ways to give yourself a little treat to finish your summer on the right note.
I found these in "Real Simple" magazine, and they sound like a great way to transition into fall.
Make your grill seem like new. If you've been grilling all season, your grill might be looking like it's on its last legs. If you can't get rid of all the built up grunge with a wire brush and cleanser, just replace the rack. You can get a new one starting at about $6 bucks. And you'll be surprised how it'll make your grill look like new.
Another tip to end your summer the right way: Let someone else vacuum out your car. After a summer of sand, camping and carpooling your car has more dirt than a playground. So after that final trip to the beach, take your car to the car wash and spring for the "mini-detailing". Starting at around thirty dollars, they'll thoroughly clean your carpets as well as polish your dashboard, tires, even your bumper.
