TIP OF THE DAY
Why Does the Pet Bed Look Clean But Still Reek?
Pre-treat the bed by spraying a 50-50 mix of water and white vinegar on any stained or smelly spots, then let it soak for 10 minutes to break down the enzymes in urine and drool that regular detergent can't touch. Wash the bed twice if the smell lingers after the first cycle—sometimes a single cycle only dilutes the odor rather than eliminating it. |  |
PLANTS & GARDEN
NASA research confirms that certain houseplants can remove up to 87% of indoor air toxins within 24 hours, turning bedrooms into cleaner, more restful sanctuaries. We rounded up 14 beautiful varieties that do double duty , purifying air while adding life to nightstands, dressers, and windowsills.
FUN FACT
The Stationary Bike was Invented Before the Outdoor Bicycle
Francis Lowndes patented his Gymnasticon in 1796, 21 years before the first pedal-less outdoor bicycle appeared in Germany. People were pedaling indoors for exercise before anyone thought to ride a two-wheeled vehicle down the street. The outdoor bike didn't even get pedals until the 1860s, so the stationary version was technically ahead of its time in design and purpose. |  |
