CLEANING
Shower grout mildew thrives in humidity above 70%, which explains why even the cleanest bathrooms can harbor those stubborn black streaks within weeks . These strategies tackle the problem at its source, turning a dreaded chore into a manageable routine that keeps tile looking fresh for months.
FOOD STORAGE
Milk can stay fresh in the freezer for up to three months, and the texture holds up best when it's frozen in its original container with a bit of room left for expansion. We discovered that thawing it overnight in the fridge brings back nearly the same consistency, perfect for baking, smoothies, or morning coffee.
TIP OF THE DAY
Is there a trick to ripen avocados?
Place hard avocados in a paper bag with a banana or apple, fold the top closed, and leave the bag on your counter. Check daily by gently squeezing near the stem. The ethylene gas released by bananas or apples accelerates ripening, typically reducing the wait time to 2 or 3 days. Once ripe, move avocados to the refrigerator to pause further softening. |  |
