Celebrating Water

ronitamira — 2013-03-24T10:32:32-08:00

Bonjour!

It`s World Water Day so I`m posting this photo of the water of the river Seine in Paris from September + a swimming tennis ball. If you are lucky enough to have clear tap water each day, please try to value it not today only but all year round and don`t waste it.

I`m trying as well and realized it`s better to have a hot bath than running the shower for 15 or more minutes because you won`t waste that much water with it and it`s more relaxing. Also, opening the tap while brushing your teeth is simply a stupid move, not to mention when doing the washing up.

If you live in a house with hanging guttering on it, put a big barrel at the end where the water comes off to collect the rain and use that to water your plants in summer. It`s very practical and you`ll save lots of water and money. My family does that each year with two barrels that contains about 400 litres of water all together and they often not enough to collect all the water that comes down the roof after a very rainy day. My dogs also prefer drinking the rain.

I don`t buy bottled water either.

Well, this post turned into a instruction on how to save water! I hope you`ve learned something new :D

Window Cleaner

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:46-08:00

Use window cleaner to spruce up jewelry that is all metal or has crystalline gemstones, such as diamonds or rubies. Spray on the cleaner, then use an old toothbrush for cleaning. But don’t do this if the piece has opaque stones such as opal or turquoise or organic gems such as coral or pearl. The ammonia and detergents in the cleaner can discolor these porous lovelies.

Toothpaste

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:45-08:00

Put a little toothpaste on an old toothbrush and use it to make your diamond ring sparkle instead of your teeth. Clean off the residue with a damp cloth.

Beer

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:44-08:00

Get the shine back in your solid gold (i.e., minus any gemstones) rings and other jewelry by pouring a bit of beer (not dark ale!) onto a soft cloth and rubbing it gently over the piece. Use a clean second cloth or towel to dry.

Baking Soda

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:43-08:00

To remove built-up tarnish from your silver, make a thick paste with 1/4 cup baking soda and 2 tablespoons water. Apply with a damp sponge and gently rub, rinse, and buff dry. To polish gold jewelry, cover with a light coating of baking soda, pour a bit of vinegar over it, and rinse clean. Note: Do not use this technique with jewelry containing pearls or gem-stones, as it could damage their finish and loosen the glue.

Denture Tablets

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:42-08:00

Has your diamond ring lost its sparkle? Drop a denture tablet into a glass containing a cup of water. Follow that with your ring or diamond earrings. Let it sit for a few minutes. Remove your jewelry and rinse to reveal the old sparkle and shine.

Vinegar

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:41-08:00

Make your silverware — as well as your pure silver bracelets, rings, and other jewelry — shine like new by soaking them in a mixture of 1/2 cup white vinegar and 2 tablespoons baking soda for two to three hours. Rinse them under cold water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Club Soda

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:40-08:00

Soak your diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds in club soda to give them a bright sheen. Simply place them in a glass full of club soda and let them soak overnight.

Ammonia

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:39-08:00

Brighten up your gold and silver trinkets by soaking them for 10 minutes in a solution of 1/2 cup clear ammonia mixed in 1 cup warm water. Gently wipe clean with a soft cloth and let dry. Note: Do not do this with jewelry containing pearls, because it could dull or damage their delicate surface.

Aluminum Foil

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:38-08:00

To clean your jewelry, simply line a small bowl with aluminum foil. Fill the bowl with hot water and mix in one tablespoon of bleach-free powdered laundry detergent (not liquid), like Tide. Put the jewelry in the solution and let it soak for one minute. Rinse well and air-dry. This procedure makes use of the chemical process known as ion exchange, which can also be used to clean silverware.

Vodka

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:37-08:00

In a pinch, a few drops of vodka will clean any kind of glass or jewelry with crystalline gemstones. So although people might look at you askance, you could dip a napkin into your vodka on the rocks to wipe away the grime on your eyeglasses or dunk your diamond ring for a few minutes to get it sparkling again. But don’t try this with contact lenses! Also avoid getting alcohol on any gemstone that’s not a crystal. Only diamonds, emeralds, and the like will benefit from a vodka bath.

Ketchup

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:36-08:00

Let ketchup do the work of shining tarnished silver. If your ring, bracelet, or earring has a smooth surface, dunk it in a small bowl of ketchup for a few minutes. If it has a tooled or detailed surface, use an old toothbrush to work ketchup into the crevices. To avoid damaging the silver, don’t leave the ketchup on any longer than necessary. Rinse your jewelry clean, dry it, and it’s ready to wear.

Alka Seltzer

Brittany Lee — 2013-03-13T13:37:35-08:00

Drop your dull-looking jewelry in a glass of fizzing Alka-Seltzer for a couple of minutes. It will sparkle and shine when you pull it out.

Although Honolulu is a densely populated city, it’s below volcanic mountains that supply water for many streams during frequent mountain rains.

Water Damage in Salt Lake City

If your home has ever sustained water damage, you know part of the cleanup process is trying to determine what can be saved and what cannot. One of the more difficult decisions comes by way of your carpets and area rugs.
