CLEANING

Memory foam cradles the body beautifully, but it also traps dust, sweat, and oils that can shorten its life and trigger allergies. We found five innovative methods that refresh these delicate materials without soaking or damaging them.

MABEL’S WISDOM

Clear as Crystal

Back in my day, we didn't have a dishwasher to keep our glasses sparkling. When your glasses get cloudy, mix up a simple solution with things you already have.

  • 1 cup white vinegar

  • 1 cup warm water

Soak the glasses in this mixture for about 15 minutes, then give them a good rinse and dry with a soft cloth. You'll be amazed at how clear they come out!

PLANTS & GARDEN

Coffee grounds contain nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, the same trio found in most commercial fertilizers, which explains why composters have quietly hoarded them for decades. We've rounded up four surprising ways to put yesterday's brew to work in the garden, from deterring slugs to boosting acid-loving plants.

FUN FACT

Thank a Dutch Engineer for Your Streaming Habit

Vic Hayes, a Dutch electrical engineer, chaired the committee that created the Wi-Fi standard from 1990 to 2000 and earned the nickname "Father of Wi-Fi." Before his work, wireless networks were a patchwork of incompatible systems that couldn't talk to each other.

Hayes and his team wrote the technical rules that let your laptop, phone, and smart speaker all connect to the same router, no matter who made them .

THANK YOU!

Shoes looking sharp, plants thriving on coffee, and fresh memory foam - your home just got a whole lot smarter . These tricks turn everyday problems into quick wins, and that's the kind of magic worth sharing.

May your shoes stay crease-free,
