Some people rate cleaning the bath and shower to be a chore and a bore, and can't wait to turn the task over to a professional domestic cleaner. Others don't mind the job, while others rate it as a favourite. No matter which group you fall into, there are ways to make sure that the job isn't too awful... even if you plan on turning the whole job (plus other cleaning jobs) over to a pro. As always, it is best to avoid harsh commercial cleaning chemicals. Yes, they do a good job of cutting through the grease, but they have a tendency to be very harsh on the skin, making it crack and itch. What's more, the chemicals stink so much that the manufacturers load the product with artificial scents to make it smell tolerable, thus increasing the load of chemicals and potentially carcinogenic toxins in the wretched stuff. It's best to stick to the natural stuff. For the general soap and dead skin that tends to make that awful grey ring around the tub, baking soda is your best bet. Sprinkle ordinary dry baking soda into the bathtub liberally, then get out a damp rag or three and rub at that ring until it vanishes. The grey ring will vanish. Another natural cleaning alternative for the bath is to use an Enjo cloth or any other microfibre cloth. Bath rings can be minimised by judicious use of what you put in the bath, apart from your body. Bath oils - even homemade bath oils - tend to make the clean-up job worse. Bubble bath, however, reduces the ring. Unfortunately, bubble bath isn't precisely natural and can irritate the skin (so can shampoo, which has the same foaming effect but for an awful lot cheaper). Some natural bath products that don't irritate the skin and don't leave a mess that needs to be cleaned up are bath salts and bath vinegars - or a few drops of essential oil added when the bath is running. The taps are another story. They get covered with soap scum. Spraying them with dilute vinegar and buffing them well with a soft, dry cloth tends to get them gleaming, and the vinegar neutralises the soap scum. The same treatment works wonders for the shower head, and the vinegar can also get rid of limescale - but you will have to use a slightly stronger solution of vinegar and maybe leave the vinegar on the metal for a bit longer. Now for the screen that stops the water from the shower spattering all over the bathroom floor. If you have a plastic shower curtain, your problem is to prevent it getting injection mould. Spreading it out fully after each use so it can dry, as well as taking steps to stop too much condensation (e.g. using an extractor fan or opening the window), will prevent mould growing. If mould dares to show its face, then take the shower curtain down and sponge it with neat vinegar or lemon juice before hanging it out to dry thoroughly. You may like to machine wash the shower curtain (in cold water) before drying it again and hanging it back up again. To clean a glass shower door, the best natural method is to mix up a solution of white vinegar, water and essential oil (tea tree essential oil is readily available and is antiseptic. So is lavender essential oil). You can substitute a bit of vodka or some other strong alcohol for the vinegar, if you like. Spray this over the glass shower door and leave it for about half a minute. Then buff the glass very thoroughly with a soft dry cloth until all moisture has gone. This leaves the glass gleaming - and this method can be used for window cleaning and mirror cleaning.

Children grow up to be the adults who mould and shape both our societies and our Countries. That being said, it is the job of the parents to injection mould the child in to being an educated and responsible adult. Children are little individuals, with strong personalities, strengths and weaknesses. If you are planning on home schooling your children, the first step one should take is to find or design a program that best fits your child learning ability. There are three main learning styles, which are sight, smell and touch. Traditionally, in more scientific terms, they are known as visual auditory and kinesthetic learning modalities. By creating a program that best suits your child/children, you not only help out your children but yourself as well. How? - By reducing your own frustration, when you see your children grasping concepts quickly and increase your chance of success at laying great foundation for them. Keep in mind that home schooling is nothing like a traditional classroom education. There are handful of different home school methods, theories and philosophies. After you have recognized the ability of your child to absorb knowledge and learn, start thinking about how you want to start with the teaching process. Before anything else, keep in mind your family lifestyle. See how many kids you plan on teaching, the availability of time, If your schedule a structured one or is it fairly flexible, what do your children prefer, working independently or working alone? When looking at different home schooling methods, keep in mind what your family desires. When deciding a curriculum, it should be designed for the entire year. This way, it would not be a hassle for you to keep restructuring and redesigning the curriculum time. A whole year is more than enough to calculate the educational goal of your child. You should always include academic goals, for example reading, writing and arithmetic and non-academic goals like life skills and character building. Jot down all the subjects that you want to teach your children in separate lists (depending on the children). Each child should have its own list and yearly planner. Always keep in mind that, along with a bookish education, your children need to enhance their natural learning abilities as well. If your child or children have the opportunity to be homeschooled and get more attention from their teacher (you) then they would normally get in a proper classroom, making their learning experience fun and out of the box instead of boring and tedious. Never be scared to give your curriculum a tweak here and there to make it work just for you. The flow of the curriculum should suit you and your child the best; speed it up or slow it down if necessary. Always take out pointless activities that are just a waste of time instead of a valuable lesson for your child. As said before, if you are using a textbook curriculum, add textbooks, activities and projects that make the lesson more fun. Do not let the curriculum enslave you. If after all the tweaking and changing the program is still not good enough, you can always ditch it and try something new and better.

During the summer months we fall victim to trying to find the balance of having a home that smells and feels clean, but without the added annoyance of flies and insects. They go hand-in-hand, when it's warm outside the more insects can be found buzzing around your house. One way to combat this problem, and it is a serious problem, is to have fly screens fitted to your windows. The benefits of having an insect screen in the home mean that you can open the windows, let the summer breeze waft through your home and keep out those pesky insects. Not only do flies and other creatures get on your nerves, they can also carry diseases and they are drawn to food or even minute particles of food that could be found on utensils, and can spread germs around. Fly screens come in all shapes and sizes, in fact, most companies that sell blinds offer bespoke fly screen fittings. You can cover your doors, windows and any other openings that you might have in your home. Those unwanted bugs will try their very best to get in and cause havoc in your house, but they can't get past a fly screen! The benefits of having a insect screen in the home include being able to cut-down on electricity. If you use fans or even air-conditioning units during the summer, which sap energy and make your bills rocket, then you are wasting money. Instead, you can have a through-draft with your windows and doors open, with fly screens fitted, to allow nature to cool down your home and get that freshness back. Having air circulating around the rooms in your home is also a good way to get rid of 'stale' air, which can make you feel groggy. Adding this 'breath of fresh air' can help you feel more awake and more alive due to the extra oxygen that is being pumped into your home. What's more, your home needs to breathe. If you never open the windows, have the heating on all of the time and dry damp clothes on radiators then it can cause damp, box moul or mildew. If you don't catch it quickly it can be very expensive to put right and needs severe treatments and building work to combat it. Also, mould can cause breathing difficulties, allergies and even death so it's vitally important to prevent mould from growing! Even if you push hygiene and energy bills to one side, having fly screens fitted to your windows and doors can enhance the look of your home. There are many different types of fly screen to choose from, such as fine mesh, aluminium or even wooden ones, that can really give your house a boost, and could even help resale values. As you can see, the benefits of having a fly screen in the home allows you to keep out germ-spreading insects, keep your home feeling fresh and airy, adds a new look to the exterior and keeps your house in top condition structurally. Installing fly screens can be tricky, so it's best to have professionals do the job.

Luckily for you at Edible Image Supplies, we not only sell those printer systems we also stock the Chocolate Transfer Sheets and Magnetic Chocolate Moulds that help you to easily create sensational custom chocolates. Detailed below are the simple steps to use our magnetic chocolate moulds in conjunction with chocolate transfer sheets. You can also make your chocolates in our moulds without applying any transfers. What is a magnetic chocolate mould you ask? Our EIS magnetic chocolate injection moulds consist of a food grade polycarbonate tray template which couples with a stainless-steel plate, both components being held together with strong magnets. The moulds are available in a variety of shapes. The system is designed so that printed chocolate transfer sheets can be used in conjunction with the moulds to produce an edible printed design on the top of your chocolates. You simply line the bottom of the mould with your printed chocolate transfer sheets, assemble the mould as per our instructions, fill with chocolate and hey presto - your very own custom artisan chocolates! The Steps (skip steps 1 & 2 if not using transfer sheets): 1. Print your desired image onto your Edible Image Supplies Chocolate Transfer Sheet. Ensure that you print the image onto the sheet in �mirror image� or media type �T-Shirt Transfers� as illustrated below. Preprinted chocolate transfer sheets can also be sourced from various cake supply shops. 2. Cut the chocolate transfer sheet to the size of the mould using the steel plate as your size guide, then insert the sheet into the mould printed side down. Secure the steel plate in place, over the chocolate transfer sheet then turn the mould over. 3. Pipe tempered chocolate into each of the mould cavities. Note: Magnetic Chocolate moulds can also be used to make �filled/centred� chocolates. 4. Gently vibrate the mould to ensure the chocolate is evenly distributed and gently tap to remove any air bubbles. Remove the excess chocolate from the top of the mould with a scraper. Refrigerate for approximately 20 minutes. Once the chocolate has hardened sufficiently it will shrink back slightly from the mould. 5. Remove the backing steel plate from the mould. Remove the transfer sheet, then tap out your chocolates onto your work surface. 6. Hand wash your chocolate mould with mild detergent in warm water and towel dry. Always ensure your moulds are absolutely free of any water as this will affect your chocolate. 7. Try to resist eating all of your beautiful, custom chocolates immediately. So, what are you waiting for? Your new chocolate making hobby or product line is only a Magnetic Chocolate Mould order away!

What is Mold? Mold is a tiny living organism which is natural part of our Florida environment. Outdoors, it plays a beneficial role in the ecosystem breaking down dead organic material and recycling it. Molds come in many colors � green, white and black molds being the most common. Molds reproduce by emitting tiny spores which float through the air indoors and outdoors. When the mold spores land on any damp spot, they grow and digest the material. There are molds which grow on food, carpets, paper products, and wood.
Many natural materials such as fabrics and leather can host mold growth as well. Though beneficial in the natural environment, mold growth in the home can cause health problems and damage. Mold spores in concentration can exacerbate the symptoms of asthma and other respiratory ailments. There is no way to eliminate spores from the air; however elimination of the moist areas in which they grow is key to stopping the spread of growth within the home. To eliminate moisture: Fix water leaks like leaky plumbing immediately. Ensure adequate ventilation. Ensure that HVAC drip pans are clean flowing. Keep indoor humidity below 60% (RH) Do not leave wet or damp spots un-cleaned for long. If you have extensive mold or toxic black mold growth within the home professional mold remediation will be necessary.
The actual process of mold remediation depends on the type of mold and the extent of its contamination. Mold remediation can be dangerous and if there is toxic black mold present it should be removed by professionals using approved protection devices to prevent exposure. The contaminated materials also need to be disposed of in a prescribed manner.
