Clean your soft furnishings from dust mites!

Dust mites are one of those entities in our homes that you can only see under a microscope. They tend to form in places where your body rests, including blankets, pillows, furniture, carpeting, and even your mattresses. There can be millions of dust mites in any area without you seeing them. Many people assume that they have allergies when they wake up with sinus pressure, when they are sneezing, or when their eyes are red and itching but in fact, they are probably sharing their mattress with lots of dust mites. The development of breathing problems such as asthma and bronchitis can also be linked to dust mites.

How to clean dirty wooden floor?

It can get very frustrating to clean the wooden floor up to perfect shine especially after home renovation or other works...  Easy and affordable solution! - scrub with Apple Cider Vinegar and water. Mix the two in any ratio you want. If the floor is very dirty, I'd make the solution very strong and use more Apple Cider Vinegar than water. Mop and scrub with this mixture. You might want to also wipe with rags, you don't have too if you don't want. The vinegar is actually good for wood...but if the floors are that dirty, you'll want to wipe to remove as much dirt as possible. 

Apple Cider Vinegar contains tannins, which condition the wood while it cleans. It cuts grime and makes hardwood floors absolutely glow. 

Once in a while I also add a couple teaspoons of Lemon Oil to the mixture...but you could use just about any Essential Oil, or even baby oil. If you do add oil, stir the mixture often to keep the oil mixed.

How to clean stainless steel appliances (kettles, cook tops)

Answer: with soda! and it works!

Add just enough water to 3 tbsp. of baking soda to make a thick paste. Mix the paste until it is the consistency of toothpaste.

Apply the paste to the outside of the kettle. Rub along the metal's grain. Pay special attention to any stained areas of pieces of burnt foods.

Slightly dampen a clean cloth in distilled white vinegar. Rub it on the surface of the kettle to remove the baking soda residue.

Buff the kettle dry with a clean, dry cloth. This will prevent any watermarks or streaks from drying onto the stainless steel surface.
