Three garbage disposal myths
|
 The handy garbage disposal (a.k.a. garbage disposer) has an important role in the kitchen. Here are three common myths associated with it. 1.) Myth: You can put any kind of food down a garbage disposal.
No, fibrous foods such as potato skins and corn husks can cause problems because the disposal cannot properly break down the food. To avoid clogging in your disposal, ALWAYS run the water and try not to overload the disposer with too much food to process at once.
2.) Myth: You can easily sharpen disposal "blades."
While ice cubes may assist with removing food from the blades and the interior of the unit, there's really no efficient way to sharpen garbage disposal blades. Over time, they dull. If you find that your disposal is no longer operating properly, you may need to replace the entire disposal. After 10 years or so, it's best to simply replace the disposal.
3.) Myth: Regular use of bleach to clean and deodorize your disposal is a good idea.
 Bleach is powerful. Frequent use of this chemical is not advised, as it can erode the disposal. We frequently use these biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning pellets to eliminate disposal odors naturally and keep it smelling fresh.
However, if you find that you have a major disposal odor problem: While running the disposal and the faucet, pour in a solution of one gallon of water and one half cup of bleach. This will destroy odor-causing bacteria. It is not advised that you use bleach alone.
Your disposer's splash guard is a bacteria haven. Some disposal models enable you to remove the splash guard and clean it by hand. Let it soak in vinegar or bleach for 20 minutes. Then rinse and return to the disposal. You should do this once per month. Consider replacing it if you have difficulty eliminating odor.

Low-cost ways to freshen up your home and yard
|
|
1. Give your home, deck and lawn furniture a thorough cleaning.
Embrace the power of a pressure washer. It can dramatically improve the appearance of siding or wood simply by removing layers of dirt you may not have realized existed.
RepairClinic has replacement parts and accessories for pressure washers.
2. Use an edger and a string trimmer.
An edger and string trimmer can make a yard look well-polished and that more time is devoted to its maintenance than actually is.
3. Use seed to fill in bare spots.
Whether your lawn has been polka-dotted courtesy of your dog or prolonged snow and ice cover have caused large spots, simple application of grass seed can make a dramatic improvement to the overall appearance of your yard.
The success of such seed growth is dependent on picking the correct type. First, identify the type of grass in your yard and consider the conditions (i.e. shady, direct sunlight). Choose seed of the same grass species, if possible. In Canada and the northern United States, seed growth may require more TLC than the southern states because of varying native grass types.
