NO! (only hospitals are able to fully do this). But with frequent washing and allowing to dry you’re doing the best you can.
What cleaning products should you never mix? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xupi9LehZ_Q Bleach is a controversial substance when it comes to household (and especially kitchen) use. With increased awareness about chemical exposure and the impact on both our health and the environment, many of us have tried to decrease our overall load, including the products we use to clean our homes. Solutions like vinegar and Castile soap have become increasingly popular. But here’s the thing, I will not give up my bleach. (I’m also the one who’s written about the times I’ve switched from natural products to more commercial choices.) Why? There are seasons in life when I just really need to get those whites white or make absolutely certain that I’m killing germs. If you use bleach — or are thinking about using bleach! — I support you! I just want to make sure a few key things are on your radar. Dangers of using/mixing cleaning products: The Right Way to Use BleachFirst of all, it’s important to note that bleach is technically not a cleaner; it’s a disinfectant. Bleach’s potency is greatly reduced with it comes into contact with dirt. So clean first, then use bleach to disinfect, if needed. Bleach alone is not a substance to be trifled with: Bleach should always be stored away from children, diluted with water, and used with gloves and eye protection if there’s a risk of contact exposure or splashing. Related: Mistakes to Avoid When Using Bleach in the Kitchen But the real risk with bleach comes when it’s mixed with other chemicals. Here are a few of the dangerous, sometimes deadly, ramifications of mixing bleach with other substances. Things You Should Never, Ever Mix with Bleach
My point? Because bleach is so reactive, the best rule is to never, ever mix bleach with anything besides water. __________________________________________________ Week 4 Feb 6th Review of last week.

Quick hint: IS there snow in forecast? Is landlord or tenant responsible for snow removal? The landlord (or tenant, depending on what the lease says) is typically required to remove snow within a certain period of time or they could face a fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiDpo8QZi-Y
So, we’ve watched the cleaning video of “how to clean the kitchen” and we watched the “dangers” of old and worn cookware (pots and pans). We’re going to stay a bit longer in the kitchen area, as it is a place where people tend to congregate to. In your “first crib” it may not be the fancy hang-out spot as you see in cooking-shows but it really sets the tone for what people will think about “YOUR CRIB”. So, having it be clean and uncluttered is a great idea.

Week 2
Week 2 JAN 23rd
- Calendar: review last week. Have you seen any listings? thought about a friend or family member that has moved?….
- Ways to help get apartment even without this:
- Advance Payment
Paying extra up front is typical with any lease. Most apartment complexes require first and last month’s rent, plus a deposit. If your credit rating is low, or your credit history is thin, you can offer to pre-pay a few month’s rent – if you have the cash – to help your application get accepted.
-
A Larger Deposit
If your credit history is less than stellar, you may be asked for a larger deposit, to cover extra costs of cleaning and re-renting the apartment, on the chance you can’t fulfill your obligation.
- Credit Check,
- Credit Bureaus also provide the landlords with the credit reports, however, these services that are offered by Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax are usually shown as a soft inquiry on your credit report, and they require you to initiate the credit check yourself
- References.
- Friends, neighbors, bosses, coworkers, even priests . . . all can vouch for your integrity, stability and potential as a tenant. A letter of recommendation from your current employer, stating your earnings, can also help a manager decide you’re a good risk.
