Today, I have a smart cleaning tip for you. You may have a squeegee at home for cleaning windows and bathroom glass, yet there are several other ways it can be used. Instead of utilizing a broom or vacuum to pick up bits of broken glass, try using your squeegee. Begin by carefully removing the bigger pieces of glass by hand and place them in a thick paper bag or small cardboard box. You can then use the squeegee to slowly swipe the floor. The rubber will efficiently pull the glass pieces from surfaces like tile, finished cement, and hardwood. Be sure to wipe down your squeegee after finishing with a piece of tissue paper or kitchen towel to the clean any shards that may be stuck to the rubber. Squeegees can also be a quick and quiet way to clean carpeted stairs and are especially effective for removing pet hair from nooks and crannies, which is difficult for vacuums to accomplish. Now you can put your squeegee to good use and enjoy a cleaner home with less effort.
A laugh a day keeps the boredom away, so here’s today’s joke “I’ve Got It.”
At a cozy vegan forest café, a rabbit-guy and a duck-gal sit at a small table, finishing their meal — vegan carrot risotto for the rabbit-guy, vegan pondweed pasta for the duck-gal. Dinner’s done. The plates are clean. Their stomachs are full. But now comes the moment of truth…
“So... who’s paying?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve got the bill.”
“Oh, awesome! Thanks for covering.”
“Covering?”
“No, no — this bill. It’s been on my face the whole time.”
“You mean you’ve got a bill... not the ‘bill.’”
“Exactly. But hey — I don’t mind splitting with you. OK?”
“Sounds good!”
