    Discover the ultimate 3-ingredient mix for a spotless and chemical-free kitchen – Your secret to a grease-free shine!

    Ordinary white vinegar on its own in a spray bottle will do the job as well, and it only smells when wet. BTW, the best spray bottles around are the Aldi $3 cleaning sprays. Toss the contents (or use them) then reuse the bottle.

    Why Has My Home Been Overrun By Pantry Moths And How Do I Get Rid Of Them? An Expert Explains

    Moth balls are poisonous to humans, inhaling the toxic fumes. Moth balls contain a toxic chemical, either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Both become a gas when exposed to air and cause that pungent moth ball smell. Try eucalyptus instead - non-toxic, does the job.

    Restricting Calories Leads To Weight Loss, Not Necessarily The Window Of Time You Eat Them In

    Are you neglecting these key cleaning spots in every room? Here's what you should be disinfecting

    One thing most people forget to clean is light switches. Bit of vinegar on an old toothbrush, press excess moisture off into a cloth, scrub both the on and off side of the switch. Amazing difference! Don't have the toothbrush too wet, don't want to get electrocuted.

    How Can The Bite Of A Backyard Mozzie In Australia Make You Sick?

    I make up a lavender spray, spray both myself and my clothing, and rarely get bitten. They do land on me but don't like it, so leave. The lavender spray has to be water-based, as oil clogs up the sprayer. Eureka make a water-based lavender, and both Coles and Woolies stock it.
