“Clean regularly, clean thoroughly,” my dad always used to say. So today, I have a cleaning tip for you. You’d be surprised by how much dirt, dust, and debris is collected inside your rugs. Therefore, it is best if you wash your rugs every six months. Believe it or not, there are dead skin cells, dust mites, pet and insect waste, bacteria, and mold that can be housed in there! Use a jet washer, also known as a pressure washer, to thoroughly clean your rugs. If you don’t have one, then borrow a friend’s or neighbor’s or consider renting one for a day. A jet washer allows for a deep clean due to the pressure of the water and as a result, dirt is able to come to the surface. Find a place outside such as in the garden or away from buildings and start jet washing from one end of the rug, working your way left and right until you reach the other end. You can repeat this two or three times. You might want to place a few drops of natural cleaner on the rug to help lift the oil-based particles. It is important the rug is completely dry before bringing it back inside the house. When it’s damp, it can produce an odor. Although it may only take 10 minutes to wash the rug (based on the size), it can take as long as a half day to dry it outside.
The following joke was represented in the official guffaw selection, so we might want to give it a chance. It’s called “Alien Story.”
Two aliens meet on Earth; one points to the sky and asks the other:
“Excuse me, is the object up there called the ‘Moon’ or the ‘Sun’?”
“Sorry, I'm not a local here, so I don't know.”
?!
