Clean Your Grill with Ease

George Forman Grilling Here's a simple way to clean your indoor grill. You see the Japanese cooks clean the grill at Benihana restaurants this way too. Heat the grill until it is hot (about 5-6 minutes). Take a wet (don't squeeze out the water) old dish towel (rag) and place it on the grill. Be sure to cover all areas and close the lid. Let the grill cook for approximately 6 minutes or until the steam stops. carefully remove the wet rag with tongs. Use the tongs and wipe the surface with the rag. The food that is stuck on the grill will come right off with ease. Try it! It works great!

Swiffer® WetJet®

Swiffer® WetJet® Swiffer® WetJet® is versatile enough to clean almost any floor. It's a hardwood floor cleaner, a laminate floor cleaner, an almost any-floor cleaner!* Its multi-surface, dirt dissolving Antibacterial Solution kills 99.9% of bacteria that a mop can spread around**, and it breaks up and dissolves tough messes in any room of your home. Add a thick textured pad that pulls dirt deep inside and a powerful nozzle, and you’ll notice a complete clean. Plus, you can use your foot or floor to flip the mop head on its side to scrub tough spots or messes, making it one of the most versatile wood floor cleaners and multi-surface cleaners around.
You know about the different messes that can make cleaning wood floors and other surfaces in your home tougher than they should be. Many wood floor cleaners often require you to have multiple tools to get the clean you need. Replace your mop with a more versatile hardwood floor cleaner. From trapping and locking dirt and dust to revealing a beautiful shine you can see.
--Mardi Austin TX-- I love my Swiffer Wet Jet. But caution should be used around small pets and children. I don't let the baby stay on the tile and wood floors anymore. I don't have pets. best to be safe than very sorry.

Important Alert: Swiffer Wet Jet - Courtesy of Lansing Hewitt

color> Recently someone had to have their 5-year old German Shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a few weeks ago, so they had a necropsy done to see what the cause was. The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had ingested poison of some kind. The dog is kept inside, and when he's outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into something unknown was hard to believe.
My neighbor started going through all the items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed, in very tiny print, a warning which stated 'may be harmful to small children and animals.' He called the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the ingredients (actually, he was told it's a compound which is one molecule away from antifreeze). Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its own paws, it ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver. Soon after his dog's death, his housekeepers' two cats also died of liver failure. They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their floors. Necropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't file a lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people as possible so they don't lose their animals. This is equally harmful to babies and small children that play on the floor a lot and put their fingers in their mouths a lot.

Static Cling

How To Remove Candle Wax From Carpet

  • Once candle wax hardens, there is not much you can do about it, but I do have an easy solution for you. Candle wax is a common problem, but no one really knows just how easy it is to solve. Scrubbing, washing, scratching and scraping won't do it. Well, you'll be happy to know that if you've got a candle wax stain on your carpet, all you need is an iron and a couple of paper towels. It may seem a little strange, but this actually does work. Just give it a try. You'll be amazed by how fast and effective it is.
    Heat your clothes iron, just as if you were going to iron a shirt. Once it's warmed up, place a few paper towels on top of the candle wax stain. Place a few sheets around the stain, which will prevent scorching other areas. Now this is really simple, just iron the sheets of paper that are on top of the candle wax. The wax will liquefy and be absorbed by the paper towels.
    As you iron the paper towels, the wax is absorbed into the sheets of paper. This looks like little spots of water or grease on the paper towel. Once you've seen these spots, you know the wax is coming out of your carpet.

    And be careful when you're doing this to your carpet. Never try to use a lighter or any other flammable item to take the stain out

Freezer Burn

  • Q. What is freezer burn and how can something burn in a freezer?

    A. It’s the fundamental physics of sublimation. Water evaporates at all temperatures even from what appears to be a solid. That’s why ice cubes shrink in your freezer and in fact will eventually disappear. When the constantly oscillating moisture molecules in the meats and vegetables stored in your freezer migrate to the surface crystals of ice are formed. Even if the package has never been opened.

Insect Control

Household Tip

Another very good and inexpensive product to clean blood stains from furniture, carpets, and clothes is hydrogen peroxide. Just pour on the stain and watch the stain bubble away. Stop paying for extra products to clean your home. Some of the most simple things work just as well and they don't cost as much.
