Gems
1. Store silver without it going black. Clean and make sure it is
absolutely dry. Wrap it tightly in cling film then you can see what
it is without unwrapping it.
2. Musty mouldy things can be saved by putting them out in
direct sun. The ultra violet light kills the mould and removes the
smell. Stand books up with the pages splayed open in the sun,
might need more than a day, bring in overnight or use a covered
naya with direct sun.
3. To clean black mould off the inside (and outside) walls of
your house. No need to repaint. Mix 1/2 bleach with 1/2 water
in a spray bottle and spray the walls.. Dress like a beekeeper
with goggles and face mask. Open all the windows, protect all
furniture and floors. No need to rinse, leave to dry. Keep the
room aired for 24 hours and be careful.
4. Contrary to popular belief, a hard mattress is not good
for your back. You need a soft mattress to support all
the curves of your spine.
5. Ladies as you get older, check that you still
look good in a plunge neckline. Sit down in
front of a mirror wearing a good bra. Judge
how wrinkly you really are and adjust
the neckline accordingly !
