Cyclone Yasi

I was watching  the news a while ago, Cyclone Yasi is believe to be the strongest cyclone in Australian history that will hit North of Queensland. People are stacking up sand bags in preparation of the cyclone that's gonna hit tonight. In other places, people are evacuating to shopping centers, soldiers are doing door knocking, asking people to leave and go to higher grounds. Some people choose to stay at home, if in case they will get flooded they will go up on the second story of their house. 

Places that have been affected by the floods before will be affected again.

My heart and prayers goes out to them.

Cleaning Tips: Stinky Fridge

Yesterday, i was driving on the way home and listening to abc radio, they have a guest who knows a lot about cleaning and what kind of cleaning materials to use.
It's so amazing how she knows how to get rid of stains, molds, rust. from carpets to clothes to kitchen stoves. What also amazes me was that the bicarbonate soda, white vinegar and salt has so many uses in cleaning things.
Like for example: cleaning the  Stinky Fridge. A sprinkle of bicarbonate soda and vinegar can be use to clean the fridge and getting rid of the smell. Sprinkle the bicarbonate soda inside of the fridge, get a tea towel, soak it with white vinegar, get a butter knife and wrap the tea towel around it, use it to clean the seal.
