Recycle Tips

  • Don’t choose plastic if there’s another option.
  • Don’t re-use plastic bottles. They’re meant for a one-time use. Several uses can allow the chemicals to leach into food and drinks.
  • Use stainless steel or glass instead of plastic.
  • Limit the use of plastic wrap.
  • Never use plastic wrap in the microwave.
  • Never cover hot food with plastic wrap. Consider using a plate as a cover. Or use a glass bottle with a lid.
  • Recycle plastic bottles to keep them out of the landfills.
  • Buy concentrated, non-toxic cleaning products. You’ll pay less and recycle less plastic. Non-toxic products are safe for your family, your home and the planet.

Easy Mattress Pad Instructions

Mattress Pad

I just had a wrestling match with my mattress pad. It’s thick, quilted and king size. The top and bottom edges are elastic to hold onto my over-stuffed, 15″ deep, pillow top mattress. It was late and I was tired. I stretched the elastic over one corner of the mattress and moved to the next corner. As soon as I touched the mattress cover, the first corner popped off. My cat, Cookie, just sat on the bare mattress watching me try over and over again to hold down the first corner as I stretched the pad to reach the second corner. After several attempts, I knew I needed to find another way. Then, it dawned on me … I needed to stretch the mattress pad diagonal to the first corner. That would keep tension on the first corner and hold it in place. It worked! Then, it was easy to do the other two corners. So, there’s the secret to replacing a mattress pad on a king size bed when you have to do it alone.
