Blossoming Flowers
A beautiful bouquet of flowers brightens up a home like nothing else. They also bring a lovely and refreshing scent to your home. Nothing says homely with a touch of natural beauty than a flower arrangement or two, but what can be quite heartbreaking is the speed at which they deteriorate. To solve this problem and prolong their shelf life, add a teaspoon of bicarb to the water. Enjoy your flowers for a bit longer!
Keep Your Shower Curtain Clean
Not many people know this, but replacing your shower curtain every time one gets dirty can be a hazard to your health! Most are made from PVC, which releases toxic fumes and can be detrimental to your health. So before you rush off to go buy a new one, toss it in the washing machine, preferably with a towel or two, so they can agitate each other in the wash, rubbing the curtain clean, with a cup of bicarb soda. Easier than you thought right?
