CLEANING

We've all been there—staring at a rusty tool and wondering if it's beyond saving. But here's a fun fact: with just a little elbow grease and some household items, we can bring those metal surfaces back to life!

FOOD STORAGE

Have you ever bought a bunch of fresh basil only to see it wilt before you can use it? Storing basil like a bouquet of flowers can keep it fresh longer.

TIP OF THE DAY

Can Your Baking Sheet Handle a Lemon Makeover?

When life gives you lemons, use them to clean your baking sheets! Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle some salt on the sheet, and use the lemon as a scrubber.

The natural acidity and abrasiveness will help lift stains and grime. Rinse with warm water, and your baking sheet will shine like new. It's a zesty way to keep things sparkling!

CLEANING

Ever notice how a little TLC can bring a headstone back to life, just like a cherished memory? We discovered some safe and easy homemade cleaners that make this task a breeze, and you won't believe how simple they are!

WILDLIFE CONTROL

Imagine sitting in your living room when you hear a curious fluttering behind the walls. Did you know that bats can squeeze through an opening as small as a dime? We've gathered some kind and compassionate methods to help guide these little creatures back to their natural habitat.

FUN FACT

Chop, Chop, Who's There?

Did you know the first gas-powered chainsaw was a two-person job? Back in 1929, Andreas Stihl introduced this beast, and it took two people to operate it! Imagine the teamwork and the biceps!

It was a game-changer for the logging industry, but definitely not a solo act.
