Here is a useful kitchen cleaning tip to start your day. Microfiber cloths are excellent at picking up dust, dirt, oils, and microscopic debris – but that strength can also become a weakness when the cloth isn’t properly cleaned. Because microfiber is designed to trap tiny particles, a used or old cloth can collect grit and debris that turn it into something resembling fine sandpaper that can leave behind tiny scratches. Heat is another potential problem. Microfiber cloths are made primarily from synthetic fibers, which can melt or fuse together if they are exposed to high temperatures above 120 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit) like a hot stove top or cookware. To keep microfiber cloths effective and prevent them from picking up lint from other fabrics, wash them separately or with other synthetic microfiber materials using cold or warm water and a mild detergent. Dispose of worn or heavily soiled cloths that no longer clean effectively or have accumulated embedded debris.
Now it’s time to let the joke called “The Same Name” lift us up like a hot air balloon.
While updating a student’s records, the school nurse noticed that the girl and her mother shared the same first name.
“Doesn’t having the same name as your mother ever get confusing?”
“Not really. I just call her Mom.”
?!
