You will need to use: liquid soap for dish-washing, distilled wine vinegar, baking soda, rock salt, lemon or lime, toothbrush, old rag and a nylon or soft sponge.

By using the toothbrush you can clean the caulk seal and all around the sink. Scrub well with baking soda. Rinse and then repeat the process. Soak some paper towels in vinegar and cover the entire sink with them. Let them sit for 20 minutes then throw away the paper towels. With a sponge dipped into water and soap, clean the surface of the sink, then rinse thoroughly.

Turn on the cold water and let it pour onto this mix and turn on the garbage disposal. Then just wait for the ice to disappear. You can also clean your sink by using a lemon or a lime.

Dealing with rust on antique iron?

Dealing with rust on antique iron items?

Most of the times you’re dealing with rust on your antique cast iron skillets, the natural instinct is to take them to a specialist that will handle your problem. But can you afford it? We can offer you a very simple solution that you can do yourself, you will need:

• some raw potatoes;
• salt (kosher type will work great);
• towel;
• a bit of Crisco (the un-buttered flavor);

First, put a couple of teaspoons of salt at the bottom of your sink and place the cast iron skillet in it. Then, grab a top-sliced potato and use its cut end to scour the skillet. Meanwhile grind the salt in those rust covered spots and rinse off the skillet as well. If it’s necessary, add more salt to the process. After the rust is all gone, take a towel to dry the iron skillet. If you have achieved the desired result, take some Crisco and rub into the surface of the object, making it ready for cooking once more.

Now, it’s important that you don’t wash the skillet with soap, because it will wear off the coating of oil. When you’re done with cooking with the iron skillet, make sure you rinse it. Don’t put it in the dishwasher, and don’t let it soak for a long time, as you would with your ordinary pan. If it need scrubbing, leave it to cool down and put some salt on it.

How to clean pet hair in the house

How to clean pet hair in the house

We all love our pet, and most of us consider our dogs and cats part of the family. Pets require affection, attention and care, but even with regular grooming and brushing they can leave hair on clothes, carpeting and floors, upholstery and other surfaces. To get rid of pet hair, regular cleaning is a must and there are some easy ways to remove it.:

1. A regular and thorough vacuuming is the best way to remove pet hair from your home. Start high and work low, using proper attachments to run the vacuum over walls, into corners and over draperies and window sills. Static electricity and low humidity in a home can help pet hair cling to surfaces. Running a humidifier is good for you and makes breathing easier, skin feel more hydratedand it helps keep tufts of loose pet hair from clinging to surfaces. If you have a pet, keep a schedule of regular vacuuming to maintain a home free of pet hair.

2.BEST

Robotic Vacuums Built for Pet Hair

Look for a robotic vacuum that’s been especially developed to pick up pet hair. Samsung’s NaviBot models use a patented technology designed to pick up pet hair better and prevent it from getting wrapped around the vacuum’s brushes. This minimises the need for manual maintenance—it ensures the efficiency of the vacuum without requiring you to untangle hair repeatedly.
Your vacuum should also have a HEPA filter, which helps trap fine particles of pet dander, other allergens, and dust so they aren’t redistributed into the air. This is especially important if you have allergic or asthmatic friends or family members. With a washable HEPA filter, you can make sure the filter is particle-free before or after a heavy cleaning.
