Hi there,

Out of all the incredible content we shared in Tipsbulletin Newsletter this week, these three articles rose to the top like cream in fresh milk. We're talking about the kind of information that makes you want to call your best friend and say, "You have to read this!" So grab a cozy spot and let's dive into the best of what this week had to offer.

In this recap:

  • Rescue a Burnt Nonstick Pan

  • Natural Mosquito Repellent that Works

  • Remove Soap Scum from Glass

  • Top Tip: Vacuum Safety

CLEANING

We're happy to share our top 10 tips to rescuing a burnt non-stick pan without scratches and keeping it cooking smoothly. We once saved a pan after a caramel boil-over and learned that a warm water and baking soda soak loosens baked-on residue in minutes.

BUG CONTROL

After a sunset barbecue left us swatting, we set a pot of fresh basil by the door, mixed a lemon-eucalyptus spray, and the bites stopped. We pulled together 20 handy DIY mosquito repellent ideas that are easy to implement. Did you know that mosquitoes track CO2 and are drawn to dark clothes? Smart scents and lighter colors give us an edge.

CLEANING

We gathered 7+ practical ways to restore clear glass by cutting through soap scum with simple, safe ingredients found in most homes. We once tried the half-door test with warm vinegar and a drop of dish soap, and the clean side stayed clear for days!

Fun fact: soap scum forms when calcium and magnesium bind to soap, which is why mild acids and microfiber cloths work.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Can You Really Vacuum Under a Dresser Without Throwing Out Your Back?

Slide furniture sliders or folded dish towels under each leg or corner, then push the piece forward smoothly without lifting. Vacuum the cleared space, then slide the furniture back into place and remove the sliders.

For dressers or cabinets over 100 pounds, ask someone to stabilize the top while you push to prevent tipping. Sliders distribute weight evenly and protect floors.
