MABEL’S WISDOM

A Tried-and-True Bathtub Ring Remedy

We didn't have fancy cleaners back in my day, but we kept our bathtubs shiny! A simple, homemade paste does the trick to tackle stubborn bathtub rings.

Mix some baking soda with just enough white vinegar to form a thick paste. Apply it to the ring, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then scrub it with a cloth. You'll be amazed at how well this old-fashioned trick works, just like it did in the good old times!

CLEANING

We've all been there, discovering that sneaky patch of mold in the corner of the bathroom! Luckily, there are over 13 trusty ways to tackle mold at home and keep it from coming back.

TIP OF THE DAY

Are Your Plants Hosting a Gnat Party? Here's How to Crash It!

First, let's dry things out! Fungus gnats love moist soil, so cut back on the watering. Allow the top inch of your plant's soil to dry out before giving it another drink.

This simple change can make your home less inviting to these party crashers. And remember, overwatering is a common mistake, so keep it light and breezy with the watering can!

FOOD STORAGE

We've all been there—wondering if that carton of milk in the fridge is still good, just like when we found an unopened yogurt from last month hiding in the back. Discover four super milk storage tips to keep your milk fresh and your mornings worry-free!

FUN FACT

The Oven That Cleans Itself

In 1963, the self-cleaning oven was like a dream come true for anyone who loved to cook but hated the cleanup. General Electric's invention meant you could enjoy your culinary creations without the looming dread of post-dinner scrubbing.

It was a time when technology started to lend a helping hand in the kitchen, making life just a little bit sweeter. Imagine the delight of pressing a button and letting the oven do the dirty work!

PLANTS

Growing tomatoes indoors can be a delightful journey, especially when you discover the joy of picking fresh tomatoes right from your kitchen. We all remember the thrill of seeing that first ripe tomato; these simple tips will help make that magic happen.

THANK YOU!

From banishing mold to brewing the perfect cup of joe and even nurturing those indoor tomatoes, we've covered it all! Remember, a clean home is a happy home, and a happy home is a mold-free zone.

Keep it fresh and fabulous!
