Food Safety Tips

We spend a good deal of our time in our kitchen, but the potential for bacteria build-up is greater in the kitchen than almost any other area in our home. Here are some quick tips on how to keep your kitchen bacteria free.

Food preparation – Use a disinfecting wipe or spray after any food prep to kill lingering bacteria. Your cleaning product should say on the label it kills 99.9% of germs.

If preparing raw meat or poultry use only paper towels to wipe your hands and wash hands with soap and water when you are finished.

Your Prom

Here are some good tips from an article that appeared in our local paper for keeping your clothes budget low:

Short is cheaper than long – Cocktail dresses, typically knee-length or higher, are usually cheaper than gowns. Check out stores such as Forever 21, T.J. Max and Ross Dress for Less which offer trendy dresses (under $75.00). Consider having a seamstress make your prom dress if your really want a long one. Sometimes it is cheaper to go this way.

Candle Wax Removal

I know so many people who have ruined carpets and tables trying to get candle wax off of them. Graham Haley of Haley’s Hints has a tried and true method for removing candle wax. First you get a paper towel and fold it in half. Then heat your iron to medium heat. Cover the candle wax stain with the paper towel. Press the iron to the towel and leave for a few seconds, then move it around the paper towel pressing each spot for a few seconds until all candle wax has been absorbed.
