Tips of the Day from Facebook page

Electric bulbs get dirty just like everything else, and that
makes them less efficient. By simply dusting them with a
microfiber cloth, they'll give off 50% more light so your
rooms will be lighter and brighter.


“Never spend your money before you have earned it.” – Thomas Jefferson

Use vinyl place mats in your fridge. When it's time to clean the fridge just take the mats out and wipe down. Easier than taking the entire shelf out.

One way we reduce the dust in our house, which requires no
special or expensive equipment, is to take a standard 20x20
furnace filter, and place it on the back of a running box fan. The suction keeps the filter in place. Leave it running 24 hours a day. It substantially reduces the amount of dust in
the air. You will be able to see just how much when the
accumulation becomes visible on the filter. If you don't like
using disposable filters, reusable furnace filters are
available as well. Personally, I didn't like the reusable
filter we bought, and didn't think it did as good a job as the
disposable filters.
editor's note: This is a good idea, but it will shorten the
life of your fan motor. One way to reduce the stress on the
motor is to use a filter that's not as big as the fan. For
instance, use a 12" square filter on a 20" box fan.
