Household cleaning tips

Vinegar naturally cleans like an all-purpose cleaner. Mix a solution of 1 part water to 1 part vinegar in a new store bought spray bottle and you have a solution that will clean most areas of your home. Vinegar is a great natural cleaning product as well as a disinfectant and deodorizer. Always test on an inconspicuous area. It is safe to use on most surfaces and has the added bonus of being incredibly cheap. Improperly diluted vinegar is acidic and can eat away at tile grout. Never use vinegar on marble surfaces. Don't worry about your home smelling like vinegar. The smell disappears when it dries. Here are some uses for vinegar in the rooms of your house. Use it in the…

1.Bathroom - Clean the bathtub, toilet, sink, and countertops. Use pure vinegar in the toilet bowl to get rid of rings. Flush the toilet to allow the water level to go down. Pour the undiluted vinegar around the inside of the rim. Scrub down the bowl. Mop the floor in the bathroom with a vinegar/water solution. The substance will also eat away the soap scum and hard water stains on your fixtures and tile. Make sure it is safe to use with your tile.

2.Kitchen- Clean the stovetop, appliances, countertops, and floor.

3.Laundry Room- Use vinegar as a natural fabric softener. This can be especially helpful for families who have sensitive skin. Add ½ cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle in place of store bought fabric softener. Vinegar has the added benefit of breaking down laundry detergent more effectively. (A plus when you have a family member whose skin detects every trace of detergent.)
Lemon Juice
Uses:

Lemon juice is another natural substance that can be used to clean your home. Lemon juice can be used to dissolve soap scum and hard water deposits. Lemon is a great substance to clean and shine brass and copper. Lemon juice can be mixed with vinegar and or baking soda to make cleaning pastes. Cut a lemon in half and sprinkle baking soda on the cut section. Use the lemon to scrub dishes, surfaces, and stains. Mix 1 cup olive oil with ½ cup lemon juice and you have a furniture polish for your hardwood furniture.

My favorite use for the fruit is to put a whole lemon peel through the garbage disposal. It freshens the drain and the kitchen. Orange peels can be used with the same results.

Baking Soda
Uses:

Baking soda can be used to scrub surfaces in much the same way as commercial abrasive cleansers. Baking soda is great as a deodorizer. Place a box in the refrigerator and freezer to absorb odors. Put it anywhere you need deodorizing action. Try these three kitchen ingredients as natural cleaning products in your home.

Can envy and jealousy help gossip woman to learn?

Women intend to envy and jealous other women or any creature is better than them. Business people using this power of jealousy to sell product, politician using this power of jealousy to get vote from women. It seems women are very easy to be used and consumed simply just using their power of jealousy and enviousness.

People without attractive appearance will be easily used or attempted by devil of using jealousy to any other people around that has good looking face or body figure or good family or loving parents or successful anythings......any elements can become a hatred reason for inferior feeling to be used for destroy and hate. It reflecting to rudeness, offensive attitudes, form a team to play controlling game.....

Is a person has anything better than you that can only drive you to jealous them? Or there can be another thoughts of learning from them?

I sometimes do not want to finish reading a good book, because worry I am going to be lonely again if I finished reading a such fine brain and good quality writing. This loneliness and worry can be applied be close to a fine quality of human, which is rarely and difficult to be close to or being around in real life.

A conversation between my sixteen year old daughter and I is like this:

*You better not to became that kind reckless young women talking without thinking to offend a old woman like your mother to piss you off.

+It is young women has the attractive element in this world, people buy whatever they sell.

*Whatever human without thoughtfulness deserve to be eliminated by social activity and hated by people around them.

+As long as the young woman perform good work, and the reason you said this is because you didn't see the other side of the young woman's work to us.

*A good defence of argument. It will increase my further observation to form a balanced opinion which will need to be more well rounded for any further evaluation about a person's quality.

Presumption of the further observation is pride is not easy to go away. Young age lack of life experience to be well rounded and thoughtfulness in thinking of different angle of life and people from different class of a society, and shortage of life experiences cause the less desire of sympathy.

I used to annoy by American Born Chinese young people who lack of politeness to greet with friends of their Chinese parent in social events; and then I seek method to train my own daughter. I want her to become different from this stereotyping of ABC, who always like to pretending cool and being disrespect to their Chinese parent.

Criticize my own daughter and argue with her has proved she has became more sensitive about manner issue and the differences among Chinese and Americans. Gladly to see more and more female Chinese Americans has sensed the cultural communication problem as I would appreciated a Chinese American woman who are more affluent in speaking of English to work on appeal on the issue of Cantonese smoked duck display for sale at market place with city council of San Francisco, rather than most of American born Chinese just simply thinking they are better because they can speak English as their first language than other Chinese people live in the United States. It simply are foolish and childish pride and thinking.

Difficulty of surviving is the real issue of sympathy in human society. Suppressing others by simply let your envy and jealousy go wild is a shortcut to aim your goal and have everybody hate you.

Fine West meet Fine East---Colors that lost in China

Currently I am slowly reading the Art of Baroque and Gothic and fascinating the beauty of Western culture; I remember when I visited Forbidden City in Beijing 2007, the maintenance work at this famous historic site has really surprised me for its poor condition that sadden me very much. The rich color of Chinese Art has lost in this land for a long time since the endless wars and surviving occupied the mind of Chinese people. That is also the reason the World belittle this great culture, because they can not see it.



Just the roof have countless designs.
