Your questions about cleaning tips

Sea salt, Sea salt, and Sea salt! It is amazing for any and all piercings! I would recommend twice a day any more and your nipple may get really dry. Before rotating make sure it’s during a hot/warm shower or after soaking in warm/hot sea salt water. Crusty will build up in between cleanings on either side of the nipple.

I think the answer depends on how old the child is. For children who are old enough to understand I simply just ask them if they want to help. Sometimes children are happy just to do something they see an adult doing, it makes them feel grown up. If the child doesn’t want to clean ask them what they would like to do for a few minutes while you get some things done. Do one or two things then come back in a spend a few minutes with the child, rinse and repeat. Takes a little longer but the tyke won’t feel that you abandoned them for a mop.

Wize Guy answers:

1. Eliminate the stuff you actually don’t use.

2. Organize the piles of stuff into containers.

3. Put stuff you absolutely use for study in drawers in/near your
desk.
4. You’ll ideally need silence to study, but if you’re one of those teens who needs music, then put your iPod or MP3 on your desk, along with pencils, pens on your desk.
5. When doing Homework, clean up as you go and then you won’t have to deal with ‘DA junk’ in huge piles later. It will put you into the discipline you will need when you go to college and have to share your space with a roomie or dorm mate.

Well, I find if you vacuum frequently you won’t have as much dust/dirt floating around.. Also, using a humidifer helps by keeping the air moist.. I like to use a spray bottle filled with 50/50 vinegar/water and use that to clean/disenfect my countertops… Especially, in the kitchen.. Although, I like to use antibacterial wipes as well..

I usually have “routine” that I follow every morning/evening to keep my house looking and smelling good.. .I wipe down the bathroom every morning with antibacterial wipes AND I clean the mirror… Usually once a week I will remove and wash ALL the towels and scrub the tub/tile surround… I will also sweep/mop the floor… If I keep up with keeping the house “tidy” all week it only takes me 1/2 hour to “deep” clean the bathrooms.

I then move on to the kitchen.. While my children are in their high chairs I unload/load the dishwasher and wipe down the counters,sinks and appliances with either vinegar solution OR wipes… I clean out any OLD/EXP. food in fridge and when the children are done I wipe down the highchairs…

I vacuum my livingroom/diningroom and bedrooms everyday and I dust with a microfiber cloth every other day.. I also “hunt” down cobwebs once a week with my vacuum attachment.. *Also, change your furnace filter once a month that will keep dust/dirt at bay….

I vacuum my furniture once a week AND I launder ALL the bedding… I like to keep everyone’s bedding in an underbed storage box to keep my linen cabinet tidy…

I dust the bedrooms about once a week with a microfiber dusting cloth they are GREAT and reusable… I use a rag w/ polish once a week as well….

Once a month I use baking soda and sprinkle it on the carpets I leave it on overnight… You’d be surprised at how much dirt you’ll pick up.. The BS will be gray ! YUCK ! I also use BS in my laundry wash.. I use 1/2 the detergent and my clothes come out clean and fresh smelling…

I hope these simple tips helped a little….

good luck
