Household Tip of the Day

This one comes from a subscriber. Thanks again!

Do you have a nasty odor you can’t get rid of? Sprinkle some unbrewed coffee grounds on the source of the smell and it will absorb the odor, depending on how bad it is, in minutes. It works on pet odors, around the toilet odors, fridge odors…just about anything. I have even used it in a freezer that was given to me with nasty rotting meat in it. That took a bit longer, but it was actually usable after about a week. After the odor is gone, just sweep the coffee up.

Household Tip of the Day

Oscar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:00:41 +0000

You can save money and conserve energy by simply turning down your hot water heater to 120 degrees. This temperature is hot enough for most household tasks. That drop in temperature can save money and conserve energy, because the tank won’t be on as often or need to reach as high a temperature.

A hot water tank insulation blanket is also advisable. If your hot water tank is warm to the touch, or if your tank resides in an unheated garage, an insulation blanket can save both energy and money.

Washing your clothes with cold water has great savings potential. It doesn’t require heating hot water, and this conserves energy and saves money. With the detergents designed for washing clothing in cold water, you can still get your clothing clean and smelling fresh. In addition, washing and drying full loads, rather than partial loads, adds to the savings.

Household Tip of the Day

A simple landscape tip that can save money and energy inside the home is to plant trees around your home that can shade your home from the heat of the sun and create a wind block. Summer or winter, evergreen trees can offer savings to the home owner, and deciduous trees can offer summer shade.

If you can set timers on your lights, lights won’t be on at times when they’re not necessary. Motion detectors that shut off and compact florescent bulbs are also big energy savers. Another way to save on lighting in the home is to open the curtains and lift the shades. Natural light is free.

Just as you can open curtains for light, you can close them to cut out heat. In hot months, keeping the heat of the sun’s rays out of your home saves power with your air conditioner or with fans. This saves energy and saves money.

Consider the use of weather stripping around doors and windows to get rid of drafts. Also consider insulating attics, walls, basements, and floors. The energy savings will be big and in the end, it saves money.
