Tips
Asthma being irritated by the mites in pillows, put pillow in tumble dryer on hot setting for 20 minutes, this will kill off the mites.
Instead of buying expensive garbage disposal deodorizer, throw in a few pieces of chopped lemon. Run hot water in the drain and turn on the disposal, letting it grind up the lemon. It freshens it and helps clean it too.
Wise to keep a small rug on the lino by a door with a window in it. The lino can get quite hot from the sun shining in and can burn feet quite badly.
