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]

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]

Whenever a sweet is prepared we were afraid of ants. We searched for a good way to avoid these ants.
My grandma came to my house. When she saw how were struggling with the ants she simply laughed at us. She brought a big plate, poured some water and she placed a bowl and on that bowl, she kept the sweets on a plate. It worked effectively. For s…[Read more]

Previously I was using Garlic juice to get rid of these lizards. But…[Read more]

De-cluttering is one of the greatest problems. We keep on accumulating things. They occupy a lot of space. Besides this, they will become the rest houses for bacteria and other insects.

It is very dangerous to have a kitchen very next to the electrical appliances. There must be at least a distance of 4 ft between the kitchen stove and any other electrical appliance.

There are certain things we want to avoid but we can not. We keep them at home and they pile up in large quantities. We do not use them at all. We just go on keeping them as sweet memories. But, how long should we keep them at home? Is there any time limit for these memories. I think almost all people might have come across this situation .
