Don’t get sick from your favorite beverage. To prevent your coffee maker from harboring yeast or mold, flush it with up to four cups of white vinegar. Let the liquid stand for 30 minutes, and then run it through the coffee maker. Rinse it several times to remove the vinegar odor. Repeat this practice monthly.
Many people consider their pets to be valuable members of their families. Be mindful that pet bowls need to be cleaned regularly, too, to prevent the buildup of germs and the potential onset of a health hazard. Cesar Milan, the dog whisperer, recommends a cost-effective solution for thorough cleaning of the dog bowl. Use equal parts of baking soda, salt and warm water.
When it comes to germ-harboring areas throughout the house, the adage holds true – seek, and ye shall find.
