Clean Your Pa Home Faster With These Hacks

Posted on by

Your home in Pennsylvania is where you spend a significant amount of time. You want to make sure that it is as clean as it can be – and there are some facts to help you clean every area of your home faster. Knowing these will help you to spend more time with your friends and family and less time with the chores.

Living Room

  • When you are trying to dust in your living room, use a lint roller. This will ensure that the dust doesn’t get transferred to somewhere else. It makes it easy to clean lampshades, bookshelves, and much more.
  • Use a dryer sheet on the air to help improve the smell and remove any built-up dust.

Kitchen

  • Use car wax over your flat top cooking surface so that it’s easier to clean the next time you spill something or grease splatters.
  • Use water with a little bit of distilled white vinegar in order to clean the hard to get dirt off of your kitchen tiles. This can be used on the floor as well as backslashes.

Bathroom

  • Stainless steel can look much older than it is because of hard water stains. Use powdered laundry detergent with hot water and let it sit on all of the stainless steel faucets, drains, and shower heads for an hour and then rinse it off.
  • Use shower gel as a way of helping to clean the bathroom tiles in your shower.

There are so many different cleaning hacks, and you will be able to speed up your weekly chores tremendously.

Sometimes Coffee can be a Lifesaver

Posted on by

You’ve heard time and time again about the importance of staying awake when driving. And although this makes perfect sense, nearly 60% of adult drivers say they have indeed gotten behind the wheel of a car while being drowsy. So the question is, what can you do to help yourself stay energized when traveling long or short distances? Well, here’s a quick look. 

Drink coffee

If your body can handle above average amounts of coffee or caffeinated beverages, you should definitely consider drinking coffee while driving. Coffee isn’t the healthiest drink, but it is healthier than most sodas and sometimes coffee can be a lifesaver.

Get plenty of sleep

Another tip to follow is making sure that you get enough sleep each night before getting behind the wheel come morning time. Most physicians agree that anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep are needed each night. When going on a long distance trip you may want to get even more sleep to help you prepare. 

Bring a friend along

Do you have a long business trip coming up? If so, why not bring along a friend. You’ll likely to get to deduct the expenses off on your taxes, or your company may reimburse you, either way when you bring a friend along who can drive, the length of the drive to your destination won’t seem so long. Plus, when you can take turns driving, this keeps the two of you, as well as other people on the road, safe.
