Clean a Remote Control 

Think about it. You, and your other household members, probably touch the remote controls for the TV, DVD player, cable box, etc. dozens of times a week. This is not a comment on your hygiene of course, but even the cleanest hands can transport dirt, dust and debris to the remote control. Clean it regularly to help it function properly and to protect you and others from easily transmitted sicknesses. Cleaning the remote is relatively easy, but you have to be extremely careful not to damage the battery contacts or the circuits or it will stop working. See two ways to clean a remote.

Window Washing Hints

Summer rains and water sprinklers often leave streaky windows. If you use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows it is easy to tell which side still has streaks. Generally, straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean, but be sure to be careful of shrubbery or flowers underneath. Wash your windows on an average day. An extremely hot, sunny day can dry the panes too quickly and just leave more of the very streaks you want to get rid of. Newspapers seem to work very well for drying windows. They are lint free and the ink seems to make windows shine.

Is Your Tap Water Safe? Do You Need Bottled Water?

Lately, there has been considerable discussion about the purity and environmental impact of bottled water. You might find Lori Bongiorno's February article on Yahoo Green useful to help you decide what's best for you. She says, "The general consensus is that tap water is a safe, healthy, and economical choice for most Americans. What's more, experts say it's preferable to bottled water." The article includes websites for various resources to check the quality of your local water and has a discussion of things to consider and resources for information regarding the use of water filters to get rid of contaminants or improve the taste of your water.
