How Organic Cleaners Can Prevent Serious Health Problems

By Clifford Woods

The function of all green cleaning products is to reduce the effect of chemical-based cleaners on people and the environment. Making use of all-natural eco-friendly cleaning agents helps to keep dangerous chemical substances out of the air we take in and out of our waterways, where it could cause environmental harm for many years to come.




Health Advantages of Organic Cleaning Products
People in the U.S. spend a great deal of their time indoors. However, the indoor quality of air is rated as worse that the air quality outside. The United States Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air quality as among the top five health hazards to people in America, stating that indoor air is three to five times as dangerous as outside air.

It's determined that bad air quality in workplace buildings along with other work areas costs companies twenty billion in workers' settlement claims annually. Cleaning solutions are a key factor attributed to the cause bad quality of air within our homes and offices. One out of three cleaning product consists of substances proven to result in human un-wellness or ecological troubles.

Research carried out by the Janitorial Products Pollution Prevention Project observed that the typical janitor uses forty-eight pounds of dangerous chemical substances each year. Numerous industrial items consist of excessive amounts of what is know as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can often result in severe headaches, problems with breathing and other symptoms.

A few cleaning solutions consist of cancerous carcinogens as well as other chemical substances which have been associated with reproductive system damage, birth abnormalities, kidney damage, and psychological complications.

The damaging health effects from chemical-based cleaners are especially recognizable in janitors, who use cleaning solutions on a daily basis at work. Janitors have a tendency to develop work-related asthma two times more than other occupations.

Studies conducted by Washington State revealed that six percent of janitors endure work-related incidents as a result of contact with chemical cleaning agents every single year. Nevertheless, they are not the only people in contact with harmful indoor air.

The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that up to thirty percent of workers in office environments experience ailments from harmful air at their workplace. Changing to organic cleaning products can significantly minimize health issues and associated expenses.

Environmental Benefits of Organic Cleaners
Chemical substances also impact the environment in a negative way. By doing something as basic as washing a kitchen sink or bathtub with a bit of Ajax, you are sending chemical substances into the sewer system which will eventually find its way into our waterways.

Chemicals accumulate and strengthen as time passes. Chemical compounds frequently present in cleaning agents, like the highly toxic nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), break down gradually and actually become more and more poisonous as they decay. Some other substances don't degrade in any way and can damage creatures in our streams and rivers for many years into the future.

Cleaning solutions loaded with dangerous chemicals and odors that are water-based pose serious risks in environments with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These types of released chemical fumes from particular solids or fluids present short-term and long-term harmful health problems.

The levels of many VOCs are occasionally as much as ten times greater inside your home than outside. These amounts of VOCs are hazardous for individuals who stay in a building for long periods of time as well as for people who use such solutions made up of VOCs; like a janitorial team.

All of the dangers and problems caused by chemical-based cleaning products are easily avoidable by changing from harsh chemical cleaners to organic cleaners with beneficial microorganisms that sterilize and eliminate germs without doing harm to people or the environment.

Natural Ways to Clean Your Stove Top and Oven

By Clifford Woods

The stove top and oven are two major grease spots in the kitchen that tend to be neglected, particularly the inside of the oven. Only natural ingredients will be discussed as chemical-based products are bad for your health as well as the environment. Also, if you would like to use a solution rather than household products, look into purchasing an organic all purpose cleaner with microorganisms as they will completely eliminate any bacteria without risk. 

In order to clean them properly, take a look at the recommendations below.




Stove Tops: 
Splatters and spots on the stove top can be quickly washed up if salt is applied to the area in advance. The salt will act as an absorbent and it also possesses a moderate coarse characteristic that will not damage the surface in any way. If you have leaked anything into your burners on your stove, spread a mixture of cinnamon and salt onto the spill and it will come off with ease.

The cinnamon will also cover up the burning odor next time you switch on the burner. Just about all stove tops, even ceramic glass types, can be maintained simply with a baking soda treatment. Use an old toothbrush placed in baking soda to be able to clean those tight crevices. Then rinse off everything completely in order to avoid leaving behind any white residue.

Ovens:
Oven cleaning is a bit more extensive than stove tops. There exists self-cleaning ovens which can simply be turned on; unfortunately not many people have this luxury though. If your oven does not have such a feature or your self-cleaning oven has malfunctioned, do not purchase a chemical-based oven clean from the store.

To wash the oven by hand, mix about a quarter inch layer of baking soda across the whole bottom part of the oven. Use a spray bottle filled with water to moisten the baking soda. During the next few hours, squirt the baking soda every now and then to maintain its dampness.
Next, let the baking soda paste sit over night. 

When you wake up, scoop out the dried baking soda and grime out of your oven with a wet cloth or sponge. Rinse the remaining deposits off. Much like your kitchen's sink, the easiest method to deal with oven cleaning is by using preventive techniques. Checking up on the oil and grease a few times per week means that it will not be necessary to do a huge cleaning as often as you have done in the past.

Once you have carried out a major cleaning, complete the task by using a sponge to wipe the entire area with a paste made from a combination of fifty percent water and fifty percent vinegar. This will likely assist in preventing oil accumulation. Make sure to give the whole oven a quick wipe down once every week with a cloth or sponge drenched in vinegar.

An additional precautionary idea is to protect the lower part of your oven using aluminum foil whenever you are preparing food that could overflow such as an apple pie or possibly a lasagna dish. If anything does accidentally leak over the cookware and on to the un-shielded bottom of the oven, the moment it is safe and the oven is no longer hot, cover the spillage with salt and let it stand.

It will become tough and crispy enough for you to lift from the surface area of the cold oven with a plastic utensil or anything else that will not scrape the inside. For those who have vents above the oven, you need to be examining them every few months for grease accumulation. To wash, wipe down the vents with a sponge soaked in vinegar.

Natural Solutions for Treating Tile Grout

Natural Solutions for Treating Tile Grout

By Clifford Woods

It is possible to clean tile grout without having to do a lot of heavy scrubbing, however the products you would have to use consist of a number of rather harmful chemical substances. If a standard non-toxic method were accessible, it would be a breakthrough in the cleaning industry. The truth is that a combined strategy is required to maintain the clean appearance of your grout.

Mold Growth
Due to the fact grout has a rough and porous surface; it has a tendency to present cleaning difficulties which do not exist on the surface of polished stone or glazed tile. Filthy-looking grout is generally a mix of dirt, mildew, and mold. To be successfully cleaned, a blended approach should be used - one which extends into the small pores of the grout and puts a stop to any mold development at its origin.

In order for mildews and molds to develop, they will require a moisture source, food, along with a little bit of warmth. Lowering the temperature of your bathroom can be quite uncomfortable as you step out of the shower. Luckily, the most effective method of control is by lowering the food and water sources for mildew.

The food supply for the majority of these molds is actually our very own skin tissues along with the soaps we use. The phosphates present in soaps can also boost the growth of these molds. Trying to keep these residues at minimal amounts will decrease possible mold development. 

To lessen humidity, you can squeegee or towel down the wall surfaces of your shower area after every single use. If you would rather not do that, then you can leave the curtain and bathroom door open to better let it air circulate. Switching on a bathroom fan will also help to draw humidity from the area.

Scrubbing is Necessary
Chlorine bleach is one of the most typical ingredients employed to lighten up items, so there's a chance you're convinced that it can be used to whiten grout. While bleach will do a good job of eliminating mold spores, just putting it on is not really sufficient to eliminate mold for good.
The crud within your tile grout is generally located behind a coating of soap scum which in most cases is not easily apparent. 

Remember that many of these cleaning responses take place at a molecular level, so a thin coating of soap residue a hundredth of an inch thick can easily stop the bleach from making contact with the grime under the layer of soap residue.

For this reason physical scrubbing as well as utilization of acidic substances, such as the phosphoric acid solution present in toilet bowl solutions, can break up this soap layer. However, one of many complications of using these chemical substances, besides the ecological and skin contact problems, is the harmful consequences to the grout itself. 

Grouts are made from cement and can be worn away by acidic ingredients. Bleach however is less harmful to the grout than any acid solution; however you will need to do some scrubbing for that to work.

Eco-Friendly Alternatives for Grout Cleaning
If you would rather not use any chemicals at all, which is much better for health purposes, then one particular choice would be to install a darker shade of grout. Lighter grouts are definitely more difficult to keep looking nice than a darker shade.If installing new grout is not for you, below are a few alternate options to bleach and hazardous chemical substances:

• Borax
• Steam Cleaners
• Oxygen Bleach Powder
• Baking Soda 
• Vinegar
• Blend of Baking Soda and Vinegar 
• Organic All-Purpose Clean with Beneficial Microorganisms

Scrubbing is required for most of these alternatives.

Tips for Cleaning the Kitchen

Tips for Cleaning the Kitchen

By Clifford Woods

Based on the words of the mass media, our kitchens have harmful bacteria thriving in them. They state that salmonella, E. coli, and various other harmful germs are everywhere. Fortunately, this is all completely wrong unless you have piles of raw chicken all over the place.

The reality is that regular care and consideration with a couple simple organic cleaning ingredients will make your kitchen area as clean and bacteria-free as it should be.

If you are using chemical-based products, it would be a good idea to switch to all-natural solutions such as those that contain beneficial microorganisms as they are much better for your health and the environment.

If you want to use only natural products found in your home, baking soda is a great eco-friendly cleaning solution to make use of, particularly in the kitchen. It is safe to use around food and has absolutely no smell. Baking soda is also slightly coarse; however it will not harm your surfaces at all. Lemon juice and vinegar are also cleaning solutions to have around the home. 

Fruit
If you are stressing about what insect poison or some other chemical residues might be lurking on your fresh vegetables and fruit, then cleaning your produce with a small amount of baking soda will give you a peace of mind as this is a guaranteed way to get rid of chemicals and dirt. Rinse off the fruit or vegetable well and make sure to dry it if you plan on storing it for a long time.

Floors
Tile floors can be washed using a bucket of warm water combined with a half cup of baking soda. Just mop as normal while using the combination and rinse extensively. You can add a bit of lemon juice to the water to produce a refreshing aroma. 

Sink Drains
Once weekly, pour a quarter cup of baking soda straight down each of your kitchen drains along with a half cup of vinegar. Allow this blend to sit in the drain for twenty minutes or more without the other fluids going down. As this is resting, boil some water on your stove. Lastly, rinse the drain with the boiling water you just prepared.

Microwaves
To simply eliminate splatters and build-ups in the microwave, put a quarter cup of vinegar to one cup of water in a container and then place it into the microwave. Turn it on for three minutes and then let it steam for about ten minutes. Once the time has passed, the build up food should now be loose enough for you to wipe away with ease.

Freezer
If the cubes which are taken from the automated ice cube machine taste odd, consider washing the detachable parts of the device with a water and baking soda solution.

Coffee Mugs
Coffee stains can be removed from light-colored mugs simply by using a damp sponge or cloth dipped in baking soda. If the patches are proving to be persistent, try rubbing them with a bit of salt.

Counter tops
Wipe down your kitchen surfaces with vinegar daily as this will make them shinny and keep your kitchen smelling clean. You may also slice a lemon in half, spread some baking soda on it, and wash the counter top with this to obtain the same results.  Rinse well when done.

Silverware
Put just a little salt on to a soft cloth and gently rub the items. After that, clean the silverware manually with dish detergent and warm water. Cautiously dry each piece by blotting it. Sterling silver can be washed using a composite of two tablespoons of salt and a half cup of vinegar. Lightly apply in the paste, rinse, and dry extensively.

How to Avoid the Risks of Mold Contamination

By Clifford Woods

There are key health problems that come with mold growing in your house. Having mold of any form in your house puts yourself and your family in danger of becoming sick. Therefore, any problems with mold need to be addressed with immediately.

There are steps that should be taken when you are working to eliminate mold in your house; however there are a few things about the health problems related to mold that you should know about. There are a few main medical problems that can arise with mold contact like includes allergy symptoms, bacterial infections, and poisonous consequences because of mycotoxins; the poisonous stuff produced by fungus.

Allergies and Mold
Allergy symptoms can show up in the respiratory system. Symptoms can range from infection, wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and sneezing. They could also show up as cold-like conditions like a runny nose, itchy eyes, and sore throat.

In some instances skin break outs, throbbing headaches, and tiredness occur as allergic reactions to mold or mold spores. Because of the fact that many of those symptoms can be identified as signs of other problems, it is not hard for a mold issue to be ignored.

Just realizing that these allergic irritations can be caused by mold allows you to be more observant to possible mold concerns in your own home. If a certain part of your body becomes irritated, it may not be an allergic reaction but instead you might just be sensitive to the mold which can lead to inflamed lungs, nose, throat, eyes, and skin. Either way, the mold needs to be dealt with as soon as possible; if it is present.

Mold and Infections Infections due to mold are often observed in people with weakened immune systems since they are more susceptible to the harmful toxins. Mold spores have the ability to begin developing in the lungs of people that have weakened immune systems from simply inhaling them.
However even healthy people can have yeast infections or athlete's foot triggered by mold. Every single person is at risk of the dangerous effects of mold.

Mold Spores in the House
Mold spores have genetic material in them that allows them to self-multiply, so after they stick to a moist surface they continue to multiply at a rapid pace. Mold can attach to most damp surfaces; from wood to wallpaper paste and so forth. Mold is extremely durable, enduring and flourishing throughout intense conditions. When mold thrives in large amounts you can easily see and smell it.

Mold Generally Go Unseen
Now that you understand what mold has the ability to do and the health consequences of it, you now have to figure out how to get it out of your home.

Depending on the level of your mold invasion, your only option may be to make contact with professional mold removers that can correctly and thoroughly remove the mold and make sure your house is dry in order to avoid additional mold development down the road.

At times the mold is stuck in places you would not think to look in, which is one more reason to get expert support. If mold is hiding inside your drywall, it is likely that you will never know. Since mold is self-preserving and can multiply on its own, you do not want to leave any behind.

Safety Precautions when Dealing with Mold If the mold trouble is one you know is small and you want to deal with it on your own, be sure to use protective measures such as hand protection, face masks, as well as full body apparel which can be thrown away in order to avoid additional mold growth. Guarding your skin and the respiratory system is essential for good health.
Use a natural cleaner on the mold and be certain to safely disinfect the region to eliminate any mold spores you might have forgotten. After that make certain the area is entirely dry.

Five Suggestions for Maintaining a Clean Kitchen

By Clifford Woods

Bacteria can live just about anywhere, however the kitchen appears to attract germs a lot more than any other room in the house. This is mainly due to the daily food preparation and the level of moisture. Along with more stories than ever of food poisoning, people who cook at home have become more conscious of the dangers of bacteria and germs in the kitchen.

Consider each of the possible areas in the kitchen that can hold viruses such as the sink, counter tops, stoves, microwaves, table tops, floors, and chairs as well as dozens of small kitchen products that make food preparation so hassle-free. With the amount of possible ways germs can infest the kitchen; it is great to know how you can stop them dead in their tracks. Let's take a look at five simple ways for keeping your kitchen free of germs.

Stay organized: Disorder makes it very hard to wash the counter tops, cupboards, and so on. When a counter top has a great deal of products kept on it, you may have been enticed to only wipe down and clean the obvious areas. Also, organize and clean your cabinets from time to time and wipe them down with an organic solution.

Replace your dishcloths and sponges frequently. Dish cloths must be cleaned in hot water to eliminate germs. Hand towels should just be used to dry your hands and never to clean up splatters on the counter tops. Once used to dry hands you should hang them up to dry and for others to use. Make use of paper towels for leaks and spills.

Handling raw food: Cleaning raw ingredients can help get rid of a number of germs. Additionally, keep raw foods far from other ingredients. Eggs really should be stored in their carton and meats need to be placed in their proper product packaging in order to avoid contact with other products.

Keep Hands Clean: One of the most typical ways viruses spread is by means of our hands. We touch raw ingredients, after which we forget and grab something from the cupboard, or touch the fridge door. We might grab a utensil from the cabinet after coming in contact with raw foods. Just make sure you remember to wash your hands after working with any sort of raw product, especially meats.


Wash Electrical Devices: Electrical devices often end up being the most ignored things in a kitchen, however these can easily hold germs the same as every other item. The can opener, as an example, has food particles from the can that get onto the blade as it is opening the lid. The coffee machine may become a mating ground for bacteria and mold, especially if you leave water in the reservoir over night.

Microwaves usually have food stuck to the walls or platter when cooking, so be sure to cover all food items when heating them up to prevent this. And do make sure all electrical devices and things mentioned above are thoroughly cleaned regularly.

Maintain Clean Counter tops: Use an organic cleaner to wash your counter tops after every meal. Even though you might not have placed food right onto the counter, there will probably be bacteria from the utensils, product packaging, and even your own hands. Counter tops must also be cleaned after snacking and right after bringing in food from the store in grocery bags because the bags have made contact with many dirty surfaces.

For example, the clean bags used for transporting your food products first make contact with the baggers hands, then the cart, after which it is placed in your trunk; lots of places to pick up germs, so clean your counter tops!

Furthermore, if your own hands are not clean then you are putting even more germs onto the bags. It is advisable that you throw out these bags when flu season is around, just to be on the safe side.

Easy Methods to Eliminate Cloudiness in Aquariums and Fish Ponds

By Clifford Woods

If you are among the many individuals looking for tips on how to clean up a cloudy fish pond or aquarium and have carried out just about everything the professionals say to do, yet you've still got cloudy water, then the advice below should be of help.

There are various factors as to why a pond will end up green or cloudy. Weather conditions tend to be the leading culprit. Various temperature ranges, rainwater, and an excessive amount of sunlight will play a role in a cloudy pond.

Furthermore, insufficient purification and over-feeding will result in difficulties, along with inadequate chemical compounds. Listed here are a few of the real solutions when it comes to preserving a fish pond or aquarium.

Filtration Systems: Are They All the Same?

•  Submersible filtration systems are challenging to upkeep since you need to climb into the waters in order to execute proper servicing of them plus they usually elevate the temperature of the water.
• Sand filters are generally difficult to thoroughly clean and don't capture all of the particles within the sand, enabling a few to re-enter the pond or aquarium. Furthermore the sand filter needs to be functioning twenty-four hours each day for ideal purification and should be back washed on a regular basis.
• The bio-filter is nearly the same as the sand filtration system only that it can be even tougher to completely clean.
• Cartridge filters are likely to be the most effective filters to make use of. They filter out basically all of the wastes, are incredibly simple to wash, and keep working for an extended period of time. You may use cartridge filters in fish aquariums as well.

Which Chemical Solution Should I Purchase?
Algaecide is highly suggested to get rid of algae and clearing up any cloudy or green pond. On the other hand, algaecide is toxic not just to your fish, but to the surrounding environment as well. Algaecide consists of copper sulfate which can build up in the internal organs of fish and other creatures.

A few cities have prohibited copper sulfate since it seriously will contaminate bays and lake and can be considered unsuitable for aquatic environments. There is, however, an organic algaecide that exists filled with beneficial microorganisms which will benefit the overall wellness of the pond. A probiotic solution is one of the best choices you can make.

Oxygen Generating Plants May Be a Good Idea
Any underwater plant species that thrives beneath the surface of the pond, or even if part of a plant is submerged underneath the pond water, is considered to be an oxygen generating plant. These underwater plants typically have thin roots designed only for anchorage to prevent movement from any currents or wind.

The nutrition and gaseous transaction occur on the exterior of the plant directly to each individual cell. With these plants in the water, you can be sure that any cloudiness will start to vanish due to an increase of oxygen in the water.

Install a UV Clarifier
One of the most effective methods for managing pond cloudiness and algae is to install a UV clarifier. The potency of the UV illumination, which is produced at a particular wavelength, is a miracle for pond keepers. UV light is a natural occurrence and is the main trigger of sun burnt skin when we are in the sun for an extended period of time.

The ultra violet light rays eradicates the cloudiness by getting rid of the cell walls of the algae, bringing about the system known as flocculation, which is essentially the process in which bacteria heaps together into large clumps. This bulky piece of bacteria is now far too big to simply go through any filtration systems without notice, so the next time it runs through a filter it will be removed for good. 

It should be noted though that UV lights are not healthy for fish or any aquatic life and it is recommended to take the more organic or probiotic approach to ensure their safety.

Common Household Odors

Common Household Odors and What You Can Do to Eliminate Them Naturally

By Clifford Woods

We have all experienced an unpleasant odor at some point in our lives. You may have entered an old building or gym and instantly got a whiff of that horrible stench in the air. Based on the source of the smell, it may seem near impossible to remove it for good. While there is some truth to this, there is actually a number of cleaning methods you can use in an effort to eliminate this kind of awful smell.

If there is an odor problem with the sewage in your house, that seemingly permanent and terrible odor, which you believe is coming from the restroom or yard, is usually a problem with the plumbing vent on the roof. Most of the time, the vent is not tall enough. This can cause wind to circle around the vent and push the methane gas right back into your home through the vent or a window. Fortunately, with little work and cost, this can be fixed by simply extending the length of the sewage vent pipe.

With restroom smells, a piping problem could be the culprit; checking each of the drains in your house will give you and idea. If the odor comes from a single restroom sink, the U-shaped pipe beneath the sink could be blocked or clogged up with years of built-up substances such as soap scum, dirt, hair, and toothpaste.

Either seek the services of a plumber or do the job yourself, the U-shaped pipe must be taken off and washed thoroughly. After doing that, start using a drain cleanser daily until the enzymes break down what's left of the stuck mess of substances.

If you experience a garbage-like odor in your kitchen, you need to quickly clean the grease filter on all kitchen exhaust fans as well as completely clean both the oven and microwave. Wash the fan filter systems with hot soapy water on a monthly basis. Wiping up splatters on the oven as they take place will prevent odor accumulation and, because of this, you will possibly not have to clean so often.

Clean your dishwasher often to reduce smells by performing the following steps:

• Put a cupful of white vinegar in the top tray of the dishwasher.
• Turn on the dishwasher at its hottest cycle. There should not be any dishes in the dishwasher when doing this step.
• The white vinegar will clean up any excess oily muck which will help to eliminate smells.

If there is a bad odor coming from your garbage disposal, here are a few simple steps that can help you deal with it:

• Take off the splash guard above the disposal. Wash it thoroughly with soap, hot water, and a bit of white vinegar. Very carefully reach beneath the splash guard using a wet paper towel and wipe down the area.
• Freeze a few special ice cubes made from water along with a little amount of white vinegar, approximately one part white vinegar to two parts water. Drop them down into the garbage disposal and let the cutting blades chop them up. This gets rid of smells as well as sharpens the blades.

Clean Dishes and Cookware With Chemical-Free Alternatives

By Clifford Woods

With modern day cookware, it is not advisable to use any type of chemical substance to clean them as this could ruin the quality and effectiveness of the products. You can, however, apply natural ingredients such as baking soda to tough areas or use an organic all-purpose solution packed with a beneficial microorganisms product to completely get rid of any bacteria.



Below is some advice on how to clean certain types of cookware without harsh chemicals. 

Ceramic Wares Ceramic wares, such as a casserole dish, with stuck food should be soaked in hot water and roughly three tablespoons of salt. Allow it to sit until the water cools down, then wash like normal.

Roasting and Broiler Pans Roasting and broiler pans may be one of the hardest to get thoroughly clean. In most cases, they will not fit into the dishwasher. Even if they do manage to fit in the washer, the machine does not perform a good job at cleaning them. An effective way to avoid having to clean them several times is to fill up or cover the pan with boiling water and just let it sit. If even more extreme steps have to be used, fill up the pan with water and then boil it on the stove top for a few minutes. After that, wipe clean or wash with some salt spread onto a cloth or sponge. For your most difficult spots, spread salt straight onto it and scrub hard. 

Frying Pans It is possible to thoroughly clean a gritty frying pan by putting it on the stove top with quarter inch of water and a half cup of vinegar for about ten minutes at simmer. After that, clean as normal.

Clay Pots Clay pots utilized for food preparation also can turn out to be discolored or take on smells. To resolve this issue, fill this type of pot with water and put in one to four tablespoons of baking soda. Allow the mixture to sit for half an hour or longer, then rinse off and dry completely. 

Occasionally, a clay cooker may start to develop patches of mildew. Brush the mold away using a paste made from half baking soda and half water then let it sit. If it is possible, give it an additional boost by placing the clay pot directly into the sunlight. After thirty minutes, wash the paste out and rinse the clay pot.

Copper-Bottom Pans If your copper-bottom pans need a bit of cleaning, avoid looking for harmful polishes. Polishes tend to be at the top of the list of cleaning solutions to steer clear of; as an alternative, make use of a salt and lemon juice blend. 

Copper-bottom pans could be made bright and new-looking once more with a substance made from these two natural ingredients. Simply rub the paste into a sponge or cloth and then wash and rinse out extensively. You may also clean copper-bottom cookware with a very similar substance treatment replacing lemon juice with white vinegar. Or you could try filling up a spray container with pure vinegar and applying it straight onto the underside of the pans. 

Allow it to sit for a little while and you should begin to see the blemishes start to disappear. Afterward, sprinkle with salt, scrub thoroughly, and wash it out. For extremely difficult stains, more coarse salt works more effectively as compared to table salt.

An additional procedure is to just cut a lemon in two, dip it in a bit of salt to cover it, and stroke the copper bottom using circular motions. Following that, wash and dry completely.

Caring For Your Koi Pond During Spring

Clifford Woods

Throughout the spring, your Koi fish pond will become more active. For most of their time during their deep winter sleep, the existing creatures in your pond are preparing to spring alive at the very first indications of the warm weather.

This point is the most ideal time to care for your fish pond and preserve it well before your fish, vegetation, and other organisms in your pond return to life from their deep hibernation. Considerable changes will be taking place as the days and nights become warmer.

Simply keep track of temperatures and when it reaches about fifty degrees on average this will be about the most ideal time to take care of your Koi pond. The upkeep necessary for your fish pond is dependent upon just what has occurred throughout the winter months.

A harsh winter calls for even more modifications than normal. This is one of the reasons that it is a smart idea to start once caring for your pond as soon as you notice alterations in the climate. Always remember that servicing in the springtime must be carried out on an annual basis, regardless of how minor or severe the prior winter season has been.

Pay attention to the water quality of your Koi pond. You will observe that the pond's water is extremely clear when the conditions change from winter to spring. Do not let this clear appearance deceive you, because there are going to be variables which will result in serious complications once summer comes along if you do not solve these problems at the earliest opportunity.

Throughout the autumn and winter months, leaves along with other plant substances could possibly have found its way into the fish pond. Despite the fact that the water appears clear, these components have inserted considerable amounts of nourishment in the water, which will lead to immediate algae development once the spring hits.

In addition, large quantities of natural materials in the pond will begin to go through decomposition, which will reduce the oxygen levels in the water. Now, because the water in your pond is extremely clear, this will be the ideal chance to clear all those undesirable debris and wastes.

You can accomplish this by:

• Employing a fine mesh net to scoop out most of those particles. At this point, the only real issue here is that many nets are only going to cause more debris in your pond as opposed to eliminating them from it.
• Once you have taken out those unnecessary particles and wastes, test out the quality of your water. The winter months would have caused changes in the pH quantities of the fish pond. At the start of the spring season, the pH volume of the water should be eight.
• Above all else, always remember to take care of and look after your fish. Take into account that spring is an extremely vulnerable time for your fish since they have not ingested any food for ages and they've been dwelling on a fairly low amount of energy. This could cause your fish to be far more susceptible to problems with harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
• At this point in time, it is an excellent idea to take every one of the essential precautionary actions for your Koi and the overall health of the pond.

Manage your Koi pond with the addition of a probiotic algaecide solution filled with beneficial microorganisms which will substantially reduce those dangerous infestations and debris. As soon as the weather warms up, an additional amount of this kind of treatment solution will secure the well-being of your Koi as they rebuild their own defense systems.
