TIP OF THE DAY
New Sheets
Always wash new sheets before sleeping on them to remove manufacturing chemicals and excess dye. Factories treat linens with formaldehyde resins, sizing agents, and dyes that can irritate skin or trigger allergies.
Run them through a full cycle with mild detergent and an extra rinse. Skip fabric softener on the first wash since it can seal in chemicals rather than release them. This simple step makes your sheets softer, safer, and more absorbent from the first night.
“WILDLIFE” CONTROL
Have you ever watched a neighbor's tabby treat your prize petunias like a personal litter box—and discovered that cats prefer loose, freshly turned soil for their business? These ten fast fixes help protect blooms without harming curious felines.
FUN FACT
First Modern E-Bike Had Just 235 Watts
Yamaha’s groundbreaking PAS debuted in Japan in 1993 as the world’s first mass-produced pedal-assist bicycle. Its 235-watt motor could add nearly as much power as the rider supplied, making hills and headwinds considerably easier. The hefty bike could travel about 12 miles on a charge. The original PAS relied on a pair of 12-volt storage batteries. Yamaha switched to lighter nickel-cadmium batteries in 1995. |  |
