ARTICLE - "3 CHORES YOU SHOULD NEVER SKIP (Even If You’re Busy)"
This article is from the TIPHERO website:
http://tiphero.com/chores-never-skip/
While there are
many lovely people out here who love to clean and find the task to be
fulfilling or therapeutic, others among us need motivation. We also appreciate
a good shortcut or two.
But there is
the realization that some chores just can’t afford to be skipped. And there are
some that make things easier in the long term if done sooner rather than later.
Each household has different needs depending on one’s lifestyle and a system
for handling housework.
Hopping on
certain things on a daily or weekly basis will help to prevent massive pileups,
weird odors, or an accumulation of dust and allergens. Which of those are most
essential? Look at which areas are used the most or will affect your home the
most if things are out of whack.
Here’s a list
of cleaning duties that shouldn’t be neglected on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
You probably know these already, but some of you may just need a gentle nudge
or reminder.
1.
Washing Dishes
With
many families eating three meals a day, the dirty stack of dishes waiting for
you in the evening may tempt you into abandoning it. Even if you have a
dishwasher, starting a habit of washing what you used right after you’re
finished can cut down on how much time you spend doing it later.
Try
not to get in the habit of letting them sit overnight or in various rooms in
your house; it just breeds bacteria, caked-on mess, and odors. At the very
least, rinse them so it won’t be so hard to wash them.
2.
Mail and Papers
You
know how easy it is to let piles of mail and other papers to accumulate. School
flyers, magazines, junk mail, and receipts can leave you and your space
drowning in paper. Go through your mail when you receive it and toss what you
don’t need immediately, and file or sort the rest away. Having a mail/paperwork
station in a designated place for each family member helps.
3.
Stains and Spots
This
is especially true for surfaces that are hard to clean like carpets or walls.
Go after spills, splatters, and accidents before they have a chance to set or
cause major damage. That definitely means wiping down surfaces where food is
eaten or prepped, but also floors and furniture too.
Baking
soda, white vinegar and commercial products can be used to spot clean food
stains, chocolate, crayon, wine, pet stains, and others. Check out these tips
on how to fight stains.
We know that
time plays a role in how much you’re able to get done in a single day or week,
so splitting your housework duties among those who live with you is ideal. Your
home doesn’t have to be spotless every day, but spending a few minutes a day
doing these little things will make a big difference.

ARTICLE - "HOW TO DE-STINK A SMELLY GARBAGE DISPOSAL"
How to De-stink a Smelly Garbage Disposal
Article from TIP Hero (http://tiphero.com/how-to-de-stink-garbage-disposal/) Also, there is a video with additional ideas on this subject.
We get it, cleaning isn’t the most fun of chores. It takes up so much time, requires entirely too much effort, and, let’s face it, we’d rather be doing a lot other fun things! But alas, it has to be done.
We’re guessing some of the most common places you clean include your kitchen, bedroom, and living room, right? But how often are you cleaning your sink’s garbage disposal? Survey says, not very often.
Fact of the matter is, you’re actually supposed to be cleaning your disposal on a weekly basis. I know—what? Who does that? But when you think about it, it makes sense. After all, you’re putting a ton of food scraps down there, which can build up and cause backup, not to mention an atrocious smell. The smell is the worst! Let us tell you, cantaloupe rinds mixed with kale stems do not create the most pleasant of aromas.
Have you noticed a pretty stinky smell coming from your garbage disposal lately? Think about when the last time you cleaned it was. If it wasn’t too recently, you probably should put that on your to-do list today. Nothing is worse than walking in from a long day at work where the garbage disposal is stinking up the whole house.
The good news? De-stinking a smelly garbage disposal isn’t as hard as you might think. Sure, it can seem downright dreadful to even think about putting your hands in that terrifying space, but don’t fret. It only takes a few ingredients, and won’t take up very much of your time. We promise.
One of the most tried and true ways to making your garbage disposal smell normal again is to use citrus. Here’s how to do it: After peeling an orange, lemon, or other citrus fruit, instead of throwing away the peels, save them and put them in the freezer. Once frozen, place them in the garbage disposal and grind them up. The oil in the peels will make your sink smell fresh and clean, not to mention remove the food buildup in your disposal.
Another option requires using baking soda and white distilled vinegar. For this solution, you’ll mix about a half a cup of baking soda in the drain, and then add about a cup of the vinegar, warmed (heating it for a few seconds in the microwave will do). The two ingredients will start to foam in your sink—that’s what you want; that means it’s working! Let this foamy mixture sit for a few minutes, and then pour boiling water down the brain. This will flush everything down, and leave your disposal with that just-cleaned smell!
