Every weekend, me and my family give the house a thorough clean. I just love cleaning days! Here is an eco-friendly home cleaning tip. You can keep your home clean and be kind to the planet by using reusable mops and microfiber cloths. Disposable paper towels and mop pads create a lot of waste and often don't clean as well because they’re made of cheaper materials. Reusable mops and microfiber cloths can absorb more liquid, so you don’t have to work as hard to get surfaces clean. The super-tiny fibers on microfiber cloths trap dirt and dust more effectively. They can pick up 99% of bacteria with just water, so you often need less water and fewer cleaning products. Plus, you can wash and use them again and again‒better for you and the environment.
We just took a look at the good mood clock and realized it’s time for the joke of the day. It’s called “Details, Details.”
Roy attended a party where he met an old acquaintance.
“Hallo, Dale, how’s your clothing business? I heard you lost a lot on that fall shipment of dresses.”
“That’s right.”
“And you almost went bankrupt.”
“That’s true too.”
“But I understand you made a big profit on another shipment and wound up having a pretty good season after all.”
“That’s correct. Then I guess you heard all about it, Roy.”
“Yeah, yeah. But this is the first time I’m hearing all the details.”
?!
