TIP OF THE DAY

Can a Banana Peel Really Polish Leather? You Bet Your Boots It Can!

Next time you enjoy a banana, don’t toss that peel! Use the inside of the peel to rub over your leather items. The natural oils and potassium in the peel work wonders to restore shine.

After you’ve given it a good rub, wipe it down with a soft cloth to remove any residue. It’s an eco-friendly, fun way to keep your leather looking fabulous. Who knew bananas were good for more than just smoothies?

BUG CONTROL

We all know the shiver that runs down our spine when we spot a centipede scuttling across the floor. Did you know that these little critters can help control other home pests? Dive into creative ways to send them packing while keeping your home peaceful and pest-free.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

This week, in our “Product of the Week” section, we’re featuring a handy kitchen gadget making a splash in our homes.

Our secret to faster, healthier dinners.

If you’ve been craving healthier meals without sacrificing flavor, this compact air fryer is a game-changer. It whips up crispy, delicious dishes with up to 95% less oil, perfect for those family favorites you’ve been trying to make a little healthier. Plus, it’s not just an air fryer—it’s a versatile tool that roasts, bakes, dehydrates, and more, freeing up precious counter space by replacing multiple appliances.

Cleaning up is a breeze, too. The non-stick basket is dishwasher-safe, so you’ll spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying your meal. We love how it’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want something fast, tasty, and guilt-free.

PLANTS & GARDEN

Imagine stepping into a garden where the beauty never fades, where vibrant blooms greet you from spring through fall. We once heard about a gardener who swore by these seven shrubs, claiming they were her secret to a year-round floral paradise.

FUN FACT

Grate Expectations: The Cheese Grater's Humble Beginnings

Did you know the cheese grater was born out of necessity in the 1540s? Francois Boullier and Isaac Hunt were the masterminds behind this kitchen marvel.

They wanted to make sure no cheese went to waste, even the hard bits! Talk about turning a cheesy problem into a grate solution!

FOOD STORAGE

Lemons are like little bursts of sunshine, but keeping them fresh can sometimes feel like chasing a rainbow. We remember that time a lemon rolled to the back of the fridge, only to be found weeks later looking more like a science experiment!

THANK YOU!

We've journeyed through washers, shrubs, centipedes, and lemons—who knew cleaning and gardening could be this fun? Remember, a fresh lemon a day keeps the centipedes away!

Happy cleaning and gardening!
