Current price at Home Depot $14.97 Model 035RM The cotton mop head is easily changed, does not tangle and is easily wrung out with a twisting action. This style of mop is SUPERIOR to those wipey, smeary (pretty much worthless) sponge-style things.

amazing microwave, originally uploaded to www.flickr.com by jmv.For easy wiping of a dreadful microwave mess, fill a glass or ceramic bowl with 3 to 4 cups of water. Place it inside your microwave and boil on HIGH for 10 to 15 minutes. Very carefully remove the bowl of hot water. Baked-on food will now easily wipe clean. Take care as steamed microwave walls will be hot to the touch.
Happy New Year 2006, originally uploaded to www.flickr.com by Click Attack.How Long Does It Really Take?
Task: feed dog.
Estimate: 3 hours.
Actual time: 3 minutes.
One of my clients decided it was time her two teen-aged girls started helping around the house. You’d have thought the world had ended after one was asked to fold a basket of towels. In her mind, this formidable task was going to consume her entire evening! Being an astute mom, my client realized her kids were overwhelmed & so began estimating a number of minutes each job should take. When they heard feeding the dog took only 3 minutes or putting away groceries only 12 minutes they were much more willing to participate.

This homeowner in Silver Spring, MD uses crushed soda cans as siding. He collects cans from all over the world and people also donate them. His home has been featured on HGTV for his eco-friendly, affordable alternative.
Please wash your hands, originally uploaded by C book on photo sharing site www.flickr.comUpscale hotels taught me a trick I’ve been using for years in my home: use wash cloths as hand towels in your bathroom. Place a basket or stack of them on your counter and have a second, wicker basket on your floor or under the sink to hold damp, used ones. Keep your sink clean by wiping it out with the cloth before tossing it. (I use a wicker trash basket to prevent mold build-up before laundry day.) For households of one or two, the same towel can be used several times but for larger families it is a good idea to consider them “one-use” before they hit the second basket. Wash them with a little bleach so they stay white and germ-free.
-Prevents the spread of germs
-Keeps your sink clean
-Helps avoid that “smelly towel” syndrome created by everyone using the same towel which, of course, never actually dries.
