Did you know you can clean your house with things you already have in the cabinets? No need to buy expensive cleaning products. Save time, money and clean with less chemicals by using everyday products.
Here are some unusual ways to clean your home.
Use white bread to: Dust an oil painting. Gently dab a slice of white bread over the surface to pick up dirt and grime.
Use ketchup to: Remove tarnish from copper and brass cookware. Squeeze ketchup onto a cloth and rub it on pots and pans. They should go back to their coppery color in minutes. Rinse with warm water and dry with a towel.
Use oatmeal to: Scrub very dirty hands. Make a thick paste of oatmeal and water; rinse well
Use rice to: Clean the inside of a vase or a thin-necked bottle. Fill three quarters of the vessel with warm water and add a tablespoon of uncooked rice. Cup your hand over the opening, shake vigor-ously, and rinse.
Use club soda to: Shine up a scuffed stainless-steel sink. Buff with a cloth dampened with club soda, then wipe dry with another clean cloth.
Use hydrogen peroxide to: Disinfect a keyboard. Dip a cotton swab in hydrogen peroxide to get into those nooks and crannies.
Use cornstarch to: Clean grease spills on carpets. Pour cornstarch onto spots and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before vacuuming.

Did you know the he average household contains between 3 and 10 gallons of hazardous material at all times? This can be threat to the health and indoor air quality of the home.
How do hazardous materials enter your home? They can enter from in the form of cleaners, bleach, oil, light bulbs, paints, batteries, medicines, mercury-containing materials and other household items loaded with potentially harmful chemicals.
So how can you keep your home free from these materials?
First, you need to identify the hazardous materials in your home. They come in three forms:
Solids (i.e. rat poison),
Liquids (bleach, gas, antifreeze, drain cleaners.),
Gases (such as natural gas or propane).
The most important thing you can do to help make your home safer and avoid the dangers of hazardous materials is to store all hazardous materials properly.
Always keep hazardous materials in the original container with the label for future reference.
Follow all manufacturer suggestions for storage temperatures.
Store flammables away from the home, any sources of flame or heat, and out of direct sunlight.
Watch for fumes or other signs that the materials are not behaving properly. If you do detect fumes, wear a face mask, remove the leaking material, and ventilate the storage area properly to rid it of all dangerous toxins.
Only purchase what you need when you need it.
To further reduce your risk, look for safer alternative products like natural cleaners, mouse traps and paints.

If you are looking for a deal you may be thinking about buying a foreclosure but buyer beware. There is a lot to know before putting an offer in on a foreclosed property.
Often foreclosures are sold “as is” and many times do not have a seller disclosure available for review. This makes it even more important to get a thorough home inspection.
Here are some issues to be aware of commonly found with foreclosures and not usually seen with the naked eye.
- Roof damage
- Damaged appliances
- Damaged or missing plumbing
- Faulty electrical systems and components
- HVAC system problems
- Conducive termite conditions
- Water penetration and damage issues
- Interior structural damage
A home inspection is essential not only to identify problems with the home but to also get a more realistic picture of the things that need to be repaired to make the home livable.
