There are so many benefits that de-cluttering can bring to you and your home. Not only can a good clear out create more space for the family but it can also clear your mind of all the associated stress and anxiety caused by a disorganised environment.

All too often, as with most of our mum-related responsibilities, we like to think we can cope with the huge and daunting task of de-cluttering our homes. If you, like many women, are under the impression you must do everything yourself in order to achieve Supermum status (a ridiculously stressful and non-existing aspiration), think again!

Asking others for help is a good way to be efficient with time, resources and energy. When de-cluttering, it is vital to ask for the help of others, especially those who live with you, so they understand and appreciate what it is you are trying to achieve.

Your partner should want to get involved in case you throw out his beloved record collection and the kids should be wary of you getting rid of their favourite toys! Of course you wouldn't do this, but the thought of such a catastrophe should be enough to get them bought in!

Your children are never too young to help you tidy and organise of the home - and these are great skills for them to acquire. Ask them to sort through their toys and books, to decide which they no longer need or have outgrown. Encourage them by arranging to take the unwanted items to a charity shop so other children can benefit from these items.

If everyone has helped in your de-clutter, it is more likely they will help maintain a harmonious home environment. They will understand the value of what you are trying to achieve. This will not only help you long-term but it will support the whole family to enjoy happy relationships in calm, relaxed surroundings.

So, when you're next at the supermarket, invest in an extra pair of washing up gloves and some new dusters, to allow every member of the family to get involved in the upkeep of the household chores!

De-cluttering your home will enable you to banish negative thoughts that overwhelm you and affect your health and well-being. By organising your surroundings - and getting your family involved in the process - you will feel refreshed, focused and in control of your life and home environment.

How To Clean Microfiber Furniture

Moshi Teraglove Microfibre Cleaning Kit


By Adam Peters
Cleaning microfiber furniture is a bit of a difficult situation. Yet, today, there are many people buying this beautiful product. It looks great and it feels great, but what happens when someone spills something or the kid's attack the product with greasy fingers? There are many things that can happen to your great looking couch or other microfiber product. Here are some things that may be able to help you to get the job done and come out with great looking furniture. The first thing that you need to do when it comes to your microfiber furniture is to read the tag. To tell you to do something and then it be something that you should not do would be wrong. So, take a moment to look at the tag that comes with your furniture. This will at least tell you what not to do with your furniture.


Once you do that, try these tips for help with microfiber products.
  • Vacuum it with the attachment of a high powered vacuum cleaner. This will remove the lint, debris and the pet hair that gets into it. You should try to do this at least once per month, more if you have children.
  • Get to the spills quickly. If something spills onto your furniture, grab an absorbent white terry cloth and blot the stain. Do not scrub it as this will worsen it. Blot out until completely dry.
  • Use a mild detergent to wash stains or spots. Do not use bleaching products on your furniture as this will discolor it. You will want to use as little as you can to wash the furniture. Blot on and then blot off, no scrubbing.
  • If that does not work, consider dry cleaning products. Make sure that the product that you purchase is capable of cleaning the product that you want to use it on. Most will tell you right on the bottom what to do.
  • Professionally have it cleaned. If you have stains or just want the furniture cleaned, take it to a professional. You will not have to worry about using the wrong chemical. Also, carpet washers that have attachments can cause the microfiber to wrinkle and shrink. Avoid this and instead have a professional handle deep cleaning.
While microfiber furniture is all the rage, to keep it in check and looking great you do need to take the time to clean it the right way.

Latex Vs Nitrile Rubber Gloves

Elliott's Funky Cleaning, Rubber Gloves, Flowers Design



By Sanchita Kapoor

The types of rubber gloves differ as per the different fields wherein they are being used. The durability of such gloves depends on the kind of requirement for which it is called for. The most popular of all are the latex gloves which are often used in the medical field. Though Nitrile rubber gloves are also used for medical purposes except surgery, latex rubber is found better for surgical usage.

Latex rubber is characterized by ample amount of elasticity, slip resistance and durable material form. Since it is leak and tear resistant, medical professionals prefer to use only latex gloves in surgery. Also, these gloves are exceptional in wet or watery situations, thereby providing extra sensitivity to the wearer while using surgical tools and instruments. Being light and fitting, it lets the wearer get hold of things in the most natural manner.

Though even after having so many advantages, latex gloves are infamous for the allergies which they tend to render to the wearer owing to its natural chemical composition. The constituting protein in latex rubber may cause adverse effect on skin. Powdered latex gloves are all the more vulnerable as the carrier of that allergic protein.

Nitrile on the other hand is an alternative to latex rubber. Nitrile rubber is a synthetic rubber hence, sans protein. Thus, these gloves are safe to use without being allergic to the skin. Nitrile rubber gloves interact with the heat of the palms of the wearer, thereby providing a snug and cozy fit for increased sensitivity.

Quite similar to latex, nitrile too, is soft and chemical resistant but the only point of difference between nitrile and latex is that nitrile is not that good in wet situations and hence is avoided for surgical purposes, though it finds its usage in auto and industrial units. Pharmaceutical, dental, law enforcement and some household chores are other areas where nitrile rubber can be put to use.

Spring Cleaning to Discourage Pest Activity

Spring Cleaning to Discourage Pest Activity
BRAND NEW DISPOSABLE NON STERILE LATEX GLOVES BOX OF 100 LARGE



By Meghan E Witham

If you are one of the many homeowners thinking about that spring cleaning, what you may not know is that spring cleaning both inside and outside is a great way to discourage pest activity. Most pests are attracted to your home from clutter or food, which means that by eliminating these things you will be eliminating potential home pest infestations. The bugs are very busy in the spring trying to gather food, reproduce, and make a perfect home for the warmer months. Thankfully there are a few key cleaning tips that will help to keep the bugs away from your home and property.
Inside spring cleaning tips:
  • Deep clean of the kitchen - Grab the scrubbing brush and some cleaning gloves so you can get into all of the hard to reach places like behind the stove and under the refrigerator. Aside from the appliances you should also focus on a deep clean of your food pantry and kitchen cupboards. Make sure there are no crumbs or spills that are building up and then as you put food away make sure any open food items are stored in containers with tight fitting lids to keep any bugs out.

  • Organize storage spaces - This includes the attic, basement, garage, or any other room dedicated to the storage of clutter in your home. It is the storage areas that we spend less time in that pests are most attracted to. And clutter, like stacks of old newspapers are a great hiding space for some pests to camp out. Placing your belongings in plastic storage bins with a lid is a great way to not only pest proof your precious items, but also to keep them safe from moisture and mold.
Outside spring cleaning tips:
  • Clear your yard of any sticks, branches or tree limbs - Wood on your property could attract termites so it is best to make sure that there are no pieces laying around, getting moist and perfect for a termite infestation.


  • Redirect water to stay away from your property - Water is another attractor of pests including mosquitoes and termites, who need moist conditions in order to survive. Especially in the spring when the ground is really moist, watch out for any streams or stagnant water on your property.
By following these spring cleaning tips, both inside and out, your home will be better protected from unwanted pest invaders. Prevention is both highly effective and a chemical free approach to pest control, which makes it very important to stay on top of throughout the entire year.

Do You REALLY Need Goalkeeper Glove Cleaner?

Bizzybee Multi Purpose Rubber Gloves Medium (Pack of 6)


By Ray J Newland
I am constantly asked by my students, do I believe in paying money for goalkeeper glove cleaner that you now see advertised on goalkeeper coaching shops.
To be honest, I do not think it's worth paying any money.

By the way, I am not saying these glove cleaners are bad, they are not because I have spoken to a few goalkeeping students of mine who swear by this stuff, but me personally I would rather save the money and not buy this cleaner, then put this money saved towards a new pair of gloves.
Goalkeeping Gloves are a VERY fragile products and if you wash them wrong, you could easily ruin them. I have done this with my gloves sooooo many times over the years were I washed them wrong and had to throw them away, and I had only used them once!
So what do I use if I do not use glove cleaner?
As basic as it sounds, I just use clean luke warm water, and I DO NOT add any detergent, cleaner etc, I use pure water. This has worked very well for me in my 20+ years of playing in goal at the highest levels. And my gloves have always lasted me a long time doing it this way, thus saving me money!
Another tip:
One of the things that I do after a game as sad as this sounds is I jump in the shower wearing my gloves and clean them this way. Yes I know very sad but it works for me.
Another thing that I do is when I get home, is fill a bowl of luke warm water, I then:
1: Gently wash my gloves with my fingers until I get the dirt off.
2: Rinse my Gloves.
3: Repeat number 1 and 2, so you are getting all dirt off gloves.
Cleaning my goalkeeper gloves in this manner has helped my gloves last longer and preserved my grip, so please give my go a bash. Plus it saves you money!
Best of Goalkeeping
