cobaltHere I am posting another <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>, what the heck—why not, in the face of pervasive societal anxiety and continuing traumas as fascism coalesces daily. Here’s a teeny tiny bright spot I enjoy and have a bit of control over. I finally have my full arsenal of household cleaning brushes. Latest ones include the crevice brush and a new favorite the small slim white brush with stiff bristles that go over the top and continue on a curve back down. This one is perfect for all the percolator filter basket parts. Great to get coffee grounds out of this filter basket with small slits. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Brushes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Brushes</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cleaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cleaning</a>

cobaltNot expecting comments of stars on this post, but I’m much more alert now because I’m onto my second cuppa of double brew coffee and the world is looking brighter now. I do want to note my rant about eggs. Hey! I have never had trouble getting eggs here in Phoenix even at the worst of the bird flu disruptions. There were times there were a lot less eggs and brands of eggs in the stores here, but never complete outrages. And I never once had to pay more than $5.69 for a dozen.

cobaltAnd now for banal! But practical! And I really need my second cuppa right now. Up at 5 am because holy cow, I fell asleep last night at 7 pm. Yikes. So here’s my <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> what I do with just a few eggs left. It’s when I really need to make more space in the fridge. I cut down a cardboard egg carton to fit 4 or 6 eggs. It holds the few stray eggs just fine. I imagine Amazon sells an egg holder but this is fine and recycles. 😄 <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Recycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Recycle</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NoTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoTech</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Eggs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Eggs</a>

cobaltOh how weird is this, I greet my friends with a photo of our new toilet seat and bidet. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> it’s really worth it to spend extra $ on a good seat not a $20 cheap seat! The lid is in action. It is a “soft close” that goes down by itself slowly and quietly. The bidet is the kind that just hooks easily in the water line in the back and there’s a flat piece that installs under the toilet seat using the same holes in the toilet base. A truly simple thing, a little luxury, eh? Oh and btw Happy 420 to those who celebrate! 🎉🙌🥳

cobaltOh Lordy, after letting out that dirty water and rinsing with the spray faucet, on to the soak with OxiClean and light laundry soap. I can already tell there are likely 2 more drain and rinse cycles coming before I can spread the carpet runner on the backyard wall to dry in dummy, warm Arizona this afternoon. Hope this is ready to use again before nightfall. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>

cobaltHere is that same dirty gray and tan carpet runner now soaking in the utility sink outside. This is the second soak. The first soak I used only water. Drained it and now soaking in Super Washing Soda. One more soak with a light detergent coming up next. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cleaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cleaning</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>

cobaltOk, so here is a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> for USians right now where there is a time we are transitioning to Spring from Winter. With the change from shutting off the furnace to using fans and being able to open windows day and night, I had forgotten the DOG would be shedding like crazy. Took a carpet runner outside to shake it out a vacuum. Oh my it was dirty and only 2-3 months “old”. Shocked how much that low pile carpet held dog hair. My vac suddenly chugged and strained. Straight to the knife I went. Had to cut away hair caught in the brush roller and then remove the beater bar roller to get it mostly out. Then continue until time for soaking in utility tub. After this post with 2 photos, another photo of a soak. I’m hoping for a ta-da photo to share later. Next time, cleaning every month is the plan. Does this tip qualify for <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a>?

cobaltI think it’s time for more of my followers from “the old instance” be sure to follow me at this <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NotACult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NotACult</a> party. So I present a tiny <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> for dog owners who want to give good quality dog food economically. Our terrier Buddy has the nerve to be picky about his food. Pretty uppity for this dog from a shelter. Oh, who am I kidding: he’s smart enough to have figured us for patsies. Dry dog food from Aldi or Costco that is grain-free works but he rarely will eat it alone. We usually add 1/3 cup of “wet food” (canned dog food). It also works out with 1/4 cup cat food! Since Covid took hold in 2020, have you noticed the availability and choices for dog food has dropped by maybe half? AND unless you want Chicken you are limited. Buddy likes beef, duck and sometimes-rarely salmon or tuna. So I continue to make his food about every 2 months. I’ve shared the photos and recipe I developed, in the past at the old place. Do you have tips to share about pet food? This cat food I get is whatever is on sale in a small can. Gets about 3 or 4 meals mixed with the dry dog food. Only a few times a month for the added cat food. I rotate his food a few times a month, adjusting the ingredients in small steps. Oh yes, I save a LOT of money and it’s better nutrition. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a>

cobalt is going beigeBefore and after photos for <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>. Here’s a brand name product it’s worth getting for several common uses. Bar keeper’s Friend (BKF). First use for me is cleaning burnt food marks in a pot. But every 3 months I use it to restore 50-year old stoneware to white when daily use causes faint gray scratch marks. I got an app to make photos side by side. 3 photos: 1st one to see both photos together. 2nd to show before photo so you can enlarge. 3rd photo to see and enlarge for after.

My tests show up with the tag <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a><a href="https://awscommunity.social/@cobalt/113658266333647598" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://awscommunity.social/@cobalt/113658266333647598</a>

cobalt is going beigeHow about guessing what I’m making today? Also, a <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> that’s more like a hunh moment. The first photo maybe is ambiguous as to the answer but there are clues in in it. The 2nd photo makes the cooking project more clear. Here’s my hunh moment: 12 egg whites completely fill a 2 cups bowl. The 12 yolks not so much. I had to find out in order to divide the eggs and save in the bowls.

cobalt is going beigeOk, this <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> is from August 2023 and I saw the tip in a Tik Tok shared in All Recipes which is my usual go-to for recipes if I am looking for multiple variations. I got an email today featuring this tip to open English muffins and am truly astonished, LOL!<a href="https://www.allrecipes.com/best-way-to-open-an-english-muffin-7814264" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.allrecipes.com/best-way-to-open-an-english-muffin-7814264</a>

cobalt is going beigeI’ve got a regular factory going on here, complete with label maker and pure chemicals. <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>. Decided since I’ve been in a research mode of cleaning product alternatives, I’ll make a set for family for Christmas. No they won’t think it’s weird, because it’s from me. Goals: non-toxic, environmental safety, avoiding branded products for things that work better, far cheaper. Decided on making sets of small laminated cards for more directions, best uses verified by me and on hanging ring.

cobalt is going beigeOoh comment 2 of ? Method tips cleaning oven. <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/SodiumPercarbonate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SodiumPercarbonate</a> <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>

cobalt is going beigeFor <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> comments promised. 1st one is I have no idea why I tried my fantasy of 50 years ago when I hoped the cheese spilled from a frozen pizza I jazzed up would just “burn off”. Nope nope nope. My paste is baking soda 1 cup to 1/3 cup water. Use hard scraper first to get any loose debris. Let it set 1 hour. See next image. <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/SodiumPercarbonate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SodiumPercarbonate</a> <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>

cobalt is going beigeJust in case my recent obsession with <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/SodiumPercarbonate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SodiumPercarbonate</a> has left you under the impression I am a great housekeeper and do a sterling job of handling all the cleaning tasks here, I’m disabusing you of that notion right now with my present task of trying to clean off a couple weeks of burnt-on and melted cheese in the oven. Good thing I remembered before heating the oven to roast turkey. <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>. You can only imagine the smoke and smell when oven is hot. Following comments for method.

cobalt is going beigeThis one has a title: Oh Shit! And a <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> for caregivers especially <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/caregivers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@caregivers</a> Soooo, if you were born back when people only had cloth diapers, maybe you learned this. But likely if younger you didn't learn how to dunk clothes, pads, etc. in a toilet and let sit in the toilet a while. Hold soiled items partly out, flush again and let them sit again. Maybe repeat a few more times. Use a brush to maybe scrape a bit. Later use a pail soak again with water & stain cleaner. 1/2

cobalt is going beigeFor <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/caregivers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@caregivers</a> especially but some people will find it helpful, a <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>. For an adult who can be incontinent or a person who spills drinks too often, if a recliner gets wet and is hard to clean, use chair covers, seat pads, and maybe even cover the seat cushion with soft vinyl (this piece has a woven backing—a clearance find. Son usually needs all the above but today I went for the need to add the black vinyl. Couldn’t wrap the leg elevating part but it’s easy off/on.

cobalt is going beige<a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a> needed! Any waffle makers out there? Help! I do the following 1 Forget to really clean the waffle iron from last use2 Regularly have batter seep out of the grill area3 Forget how long to brown the waffle so I check it twice during baking What can I do that is better? Note I have ADD <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> and how do I do a better job with cleaning it? <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/Waffle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Waffle</a>

cobalt is going beigeThe things you learn from having an incontinent old dog! <a href="https://awscommunity.social/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TipOfDay</a>. Before he went to his Eternal Rest our papillion peed 2-3 times daily on the kitchen tile floor. It’s the grout that holds the stain and smell so when I used Nature’s Miracle stain and odor remover, oxy formula, it’s clean so you can use a grout sealer. Just got a gallon and started on the tile floors here with an old toothbrush and rags, 2 years after moving in. Looks so much better.
