How to Clean Stainless Steel Appliances

1-800-926-8689Tips & ArticlesStainless steel appliances can make any kitchen look shiny and new. However, once they’ve accumulated a few hard water marks, streaks or fingerprints, they can make the very same kitchen look like a complete mess.What makes matters even worse is that many of the harsh chemical household cleaners that promise to rid your appliance of stubborn streaks and renegade splash marks come with hefty price tags and are loaded with (in many cases) harmful toxins.Thankfully, you don’t have to use them or put in much effort to keep your stainless steel appliances looking their very best.• Vinegar (in a spray bottle)

• Bounty Paper Towels

• Mineral oil (or olive oil)

• A soft cloth (preferably microfiber)Follow the steel’s grain with a Bounty paper towel to wipe off the vinegar (or dish soap residue). Bounty soaks up a lot of liquid, so all of that buildup and vinegar should come off pretty effortlessly.Dip your cloth into your oil and (going with the direction of the grain) polish your appliance. You will begin to see all of the marks and blemishes disappear.Repeat the process as often as needed to keep your stainless steel appliances looking as good as new.Follow Us

Why better hygiene begins with Bounty D

1-800-926-8689Tips & ArticlesRemember that coffee spill you wiped up yesterday? Or that spoonful of yogurt from this morning? Remnants of those could still be still hiding in your used dishcloth. That’s right, those kitchen culprits could be spreading mess across your surfaces. And yes, they might look clean after one or two uses…but they could be deceptively dirty even after you’ve rinsed them.In fact, used sponges and dishcloths are considered a major source of bacteria in the home, including traces of E. coli. And the reality is, dishcloths and sponges are likely not sanitized between every use.The worst part is, if you’re reusing that sponge or dishcloth multiple times, they could be redepositing bacteria across your countertop, stove, fridge and other surfaces you’re cleaning. But with a fresh sheet of Bounty, it’s one and done. And because a fresh sheet is exactly that…fresh. Grabbing a fresh sheet leaves surfaces cleaner than a used dishcloth. See the difference in the blacklight comparison below.Don’t get us wrong, dishcloths can still have a decorative place in the home. But these days you can’t afford to be reusing and potentially spreading mess with them. So, when it comes to keeping your home healthy, the Quicker Picker Upper is the way to go.

Bounty Paper TowelsRemove all pillows and blankets from the furniture. Take them outside and give them a quick shake to release the pet hair. Make sure to keep the door shut to prevent a breeze from blowing the fur back into your home.Place the pillows and blankets back on the furniture. Now, concentrate on removing pet hair from exposed upholstered surfaces including armrests, dust ruffles, and cushions.Soak a sponge in warm water. Squeeze the sponge to remove most of the water. Wipe the damp sponge over the furniture. Use short sweeping motions to make the pet fur ball roll up onto itself. Remove the clumps as they form and toss them in the garbage.Does your furniture have a mild pet odor? One of my favorite cleaning tips is to spray the sponge with a 1:10 mixture of white vinegar and water; then, wipe the furniture. The white vinegar will neutralize the pet odor. When the cleanser dries, the vinegar odor will dissipate as well.Turn on a ceiling fan to help the furniture dry more quickly. The extra air circulation will also help to freshen the air in the room.Follow Us

how to clean windows banner desktop

1-800-926-8689Tips & ArticlesCleaning windows is a chore for many homeowners. Some just ignore the fact that their windows are dirty, while others spend money on professional window washers. Fortunately, here are some window cleaning tips you can use to make washing your windows a bit easier and/or less expensive.Squeegee

Scraper

Lint-Free Cloths

Window Cleaning Product

Bounty Paper TowelsFirst, don't clean the windows in windy weather or in direct sunlight. The wind and heat of the sun causes the water in the cleaning solution to evaporate quicker. This means that while you are still using the squeegee, the cleaning solution dries on the glass, causing streaks. Also, don't clean exterior windows on cold days. If the temperature is at or below the freezing point, the cleaning solution can freeze on the window before you get a chance to use the squeegee.Next, use tools that are in good condition to get the best results. Quality tools clean the windows better. When choosing a cleaning solution, you can make your own or buy a commercial window cleaner. Homemade cleaners are often cheaper and use fewer chemicals.When choosing ingredients for your window cleaner, avoid products with vinegar, alcohol, and ammonia. These chemicals can dry out the window seals, which are often made of rubber.To clean the windows well, apply the cleaner to the windows and then use the scraper to remove any debris stuck on the windows. You can also scrub the windows using lint-free cloths.Remove the cleaning solution with a squeegee. Afterward, if any water remains on the windows, use dry lint-free cloths to dry the windows.These window cleaning tips will let you clean your windows to get a clear and streak-proof result. Use Bounty paper towels to dry your hands and clean up any extra mess you’ve created in the cleaning process.Follow Us

When the bag is full, tie the open-end shut, leaving a tail about three inches long.Spread the swimming noodles out on the ground. Shake the paint can and apply a generous coat of black paint to the noodles. Use a long, side-to-side, continuous motion while painting for an even coat.Allow the paint to dry completely. If you get paint on your skin, put a few drops of fingernail polish on a Bounty paper towel and rub until the paint comes off.Flip the noodles over and repeat the spray painting step to cover the underside and ends of the noodles with paint.Run the rope around the center of one noodle and tie a snug knot. Put the next noodle against the knot. Tie the second noodle snugly to the first one. Pick up the tied noodles and tie the rope, really tightly, to the knot on the trash bag.Tie the other two noodles snugly on the other side of the knot.

There are so many possibilities when it comes to hanging a wreath on your front door. Here is an idea for a Halloween wreath that incorporates just one simple technique, which results in a glamorous design. If you are doing this project with children, close parental supervision is necessary, and an adult should handle all steps involving the hot glue gun and spray paint.Foam Wreath Form

Black Spray Paint

Black Feathers or a Black Feather Boa

Hot Glue Gun With Glue

Festive Ribbon, Wide and Wired

Safety Scissors

Bounty Paper TowelsIn a well-ventilated area, cover all sides of the foam wreath with black spray paint and allow to dry. Repeat if necessary. (An adult should handle this step.)Using the hot glue gun, place a small drop of glue on the stem part of a feather.Adhere feather to the foam wreath form by sticking the end of the feather with the glue on it to the wreath. (An adult should handle this step.)Repeat, layering feathers over one another so that the entire front of the wreath form, including the inner and outer edges is covered. This is easy, but it does require some patience. Have children determine the feather placement while an adult adheres feathers to the foam.If you lack the patience to glue individual feathers to the wreath, you could substitute a black feather boa for the feathers. The end result will be similar, but the process is much faster.Cut the desired length of ribbon and tie around the top of the wreath with the knot on the bottom part of the wreath. Be sure to leave a long loop to hang the wreath from the door. The ends of the ribbon should be long enough to tie into a pretty bow.Hang the finished wreath from a hook or wreath hanger on your front door, stand back, and admire your beautiful new Halloween wreath!Using a damp paper towel, clean up any drips of glue or feather dust left behind.Follow Us
