EvilElf replied to the topic STINKY SMELL OF SOCKS in the forum Household Tips and Tricks 8 years ago
The only time I get smelly socks is if I’m working a long shift at a restaurant. Since I am no longer working I don’t have that problem anymore. The washing powder I use is good at getting the smell out of my socks. Mostly, I wear flip flops around the house and have no need for socks.

Yes. The garbage collectors are also human beings. How can they collect the thing which is not kept properly? In some places and in some other states people keep a separate garbage bag itself instead of a container . In that case, the work becomes even easier. But this is a costly affair. How can one afford to spend money regularly on garbage…[Read more]

Bleach is good for a lot of things. I keep a gallon of it in my bathroom when I get ready to clean it. I use it to clean around the toilet and in the toilet. Like you have mentioned above, bleach is good for cleaning mold from any service. A person needs to be careful when cleaning with it. It can cause skin irritation or eye irritation.

To have a fresh, clean and presentable house, we should always check our garbages. Make sure that the biodegradables are separated with those non-bio. The garbage baskets must be covered properly.

sivasubrahmanyam shatdarsanam replied to the topic Do you wash your washing machine? in the forum Household Tips and Tricks 8 years ago
Cleaning a washing machine is very important as there will be some dust particles accumulated in the bucket/container. If they are not removed in time a thick layer will be formed and it becomes very difficult to remove it in future. So whenever clothes are washed add some lemon and vinegar in a separate bowl. Add this mixture rubbing it lightly…[Read more]

Lizards are highly venomous. If they urinate on the skin there will be heat boils which need an effective treatment. I am totally afraid of lizards whenever I think about this aspect and take appropriate care. I cover the utensils immediately the food is transferred into them.
