Hi there,
Every week we share so many wonderful discoveries with you through Tipsbulletin, but there are always those few that rise to the top. This weekend, we're celebrating the three articles that sparked the most interest, solved the biggest problems, and reminded us why we love bringing you these treasures every day.

In this recap:

  • Banish Bathroom Drain Odors for Good

  • The Right Way to Keep Hard-Boiled Eggs Fresh

  • Spotting the Signs of a Bed Bug Problem

  • Top Tip: Bed Bug Warning Signs

CLEANING

We once traced a mysterious bathroom odor to a dried-out P-trap that had been sitting empty for weeks—turns out that little water seal is the only thing standing between a fresh-smelling home and sewer gas. This collection of 11+ solutions tackles everything from biofilm buildup to venting issues, so any drain smell can finally be solved for good.

FOOD STORAGE

Hard-boiled eggs can stay fresh for up to a week when stored properly , but leave them unpeeled in their shells, and they'll last even longer. Check out 7+ smart storage tips that keep those protein-packed snacks safe, flavorful, and ready whenever hunger strikes.

BUG CONTROL

We once heard from a hotel inspector who could spot bed bugs in under 60 seconds—and it had nothing to do with seeing the bugs themselves. These ten simple signs can help anyone protect their home before a small bed bug problem becomes an expensive nightmare.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Is your filter dirtier than a teenager's room?

Turn off the AC at the thermostat and breaker before touching anything. Pop open the front panel or grille and slide out the filter. Hold it up to a window; if you can't see light through it, it needs cleaning now.

Rinse it under lukewarm tap water, moving from the clean side to the dirty side, for about 60 seconds, then let it air-dry completely on a towel for two to three hours before sliding it back in. A wet filter can grow mold and wreck your system.
