Do you want to have hotel-level cleanliness in your home? I have a cleaning tip for you today. Even after regular cleaning, floor, kitchen and bathroom tiles can slowly develop a residue from floor cleaners, especially if you use high pH “heavy-duty” products designed to remove grease. To remove this alkaline residue, you need an acid to break it down. Note that natural stone tiles like marble, terrazzo, limestone, and bluestone should not come into contact with acids, as this can damage their finish. Regular porcelain and ceramic tiles, however, can safely handle mild acids. For these tiles, mix one liter of white vinegar with four liters of very warm water. Mop this solution onto the floor and let it sit for five minutes. Vigorously polish the floor dry with a towel to lift both the vinegar solution and the residue, then rinse with fresh water and let it dry. Repeat if needed until the haze disappears. Using warm water helps the vinegar break down the build-up more effectively.
This laugh-worthy joke is just what you need. It’s called “Can You Hear Me Now?”
Not long after Kent’s grandfather bought his grandmother a pair of powerful — and expensive — hearing aids, grandma accidentally left them inserted while washing her hair. Grandma told Kent:
“Oh, great, if your grandfather finds out that I damaged these hearing aids, I’ll never hear the end of it!”
