Hi there,
You know how sometimes the best moments deserve a second look? That's exactly why we've gathered the three most loved articles from this week's Tipsbulletin Newsletter – the ones that had our community buzzing with excitement. Pour yourself something warm, and let's dive into what made this week special.
In this recap:
The Right Way to Clear a Clogged Toilet
What Works to Cut Grease in Your Laundry
The Best Low-Light Houseplants for Every Room
Top Tip: Stinky Shrimp Has Gotta Go!
CLEANING
When a clog strikes at the worst possible moment, knowing the proper plunging technique can save the day and spare everyone the panic of rising water. Most people don't realize that a toilet plunger works differently from a sink plunger, and using the wrong tool or method can turn a quick fix into a messy ordeal.
CLEANING
Grease stains on favorite clothes used to mean an automatic trip to the dry cleaner , but four simple kitchen ingredients can tackle even set-in oil spots without harsh chemicals. We tested each natural degreaser recipe on everything from bacon splatter to bike chain grease, and the results proved that baking soda, vinegar, and dish soap combinations work better than most commercial pre-treatments.
PLANTS & GARDEN
NASA scientists discovered that certain houseplants can remove up to 87% of indoor air toxins in just 24 hours, a finding that transformed how we think about decorating with greenery. We've rounded up 14 stunning varieties that do double duty, purifying the air while bringing life to every corner of your home.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Does Your Shrimp Smell Like Low Tide at Noon?
Fresh shrimp should smell clean and briny, never sour or ammonia-like. When buying, look for firm, translucent flesh with no black spots or slimy coating. Store fresh shrimp in the coldest part of your refrigerator and cook within 24 hours of purchase. If you can't use it that quickly, freeze it the same day. A strong fishy odor means the shrimp has started to spoil; trust your nose and toss it. |  |
