So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Household Solutions to Dirty Grout

By Rick Amorey

The best solution to cleaning grout is still an object of heated discussion. Some people will say that the marketed chemical solutions out in stores work. They will go through a number of branded products that say they will do most of the work of cleaning grout for them. Others go with home solutions, using trial and error to find the best one that works for them. The next paragraphs are some of the home-remedies I've tried, using found household materials, and have been proven to give decent results.

An alcohol solution in a spray bottle is the first and foremost simplest solution to deal with the grout in between your tiles. Simply buy a diffuser and add in the mixture of alcohol. Make sure the area is dry, and then spritz the tiles down with the solution. More concentrated solutions are needed to clean off the worst cases.

Another household solution to cleaning grout with a satisfactory result is baking soda. This is requires a bit more effort on your part, as it is more tedious, but will work pretty quick. Dampen the area to be cleaned, then sprinkle a bit of baking soda over it. Leave it alone for a few minutes. Then using an old toothbrush, scrub off the baking soda. This method requires a little more work, but the grout will be clean.

Bleach is also a good cleaning agent if your bathroom grout is not dyed. If you do the laundry, too, then chances are you're aware that bleach has a tendency to remove color as well as dirt. When using this method, mix equal parts of water and bleach, and spray it onto the bathroom every night after everyone is done using it. It will begin to show results after one or two weeks of doing this, and after such time, you can lessen it to about once a week.
