Tips for Unclogging a Sink

Posted by MAKMU ta On Tuesday, August 23, 2011

Happens to us frequently that you stuck the toilet; we talked to a plumber and he said this happen not only because of long hair within the basin, but also may pipes were too old and prone to jamming.



All you need is baking soda, vinegar and a little patience (note that this trick does not apply to hair jams). First, sink must be dried with a cloth and then pour half a cup of baking soda as the drain trying to drop everything inside. Now we have to take another half cup of white vinegar, which will result in a chemical reaction that look as vibrant. Leave it for a minute or two.

Then pour a quart of boiling water (I recommend doing it in a kettle). When finished see if this trick works.

Bedrooms without Mites

Posted by MAKMU ta On Friday, August 19, 2011

Allergies usually begin to manifest the effect of the mites in the home, we live every day surrounded by allergens that we may not have realized that they exist, we can eliminate or at least minimize their damaging effect on our health.

Bedroom is where most mites accumulate, starting with the bed sheets and pillowcases. So it is good to often wash them, ideally every three days. The bedspreads and blankets commonly used throughout the year or for half season, without moving and accumulate dust and mites, so it's good to send them to the cleaners once a month.

The pillows that made from wool and feathers are mite house, it is recommended to use synthetic fillers.






Instead of tossing the furniture with a feather duster, it is preferable to pass a damp cloth, like the floors, which are normally dry. It is best to pass on a damp cloth to trap dust and to not let it fly in air and ultimately return to the same place.

The sweaters and tissues should be kept in sealed bags to prevent mites accumulation on it.
