Preview of The Best of Johnnie Chuoke Vol 14
The last few weeks I have been totally glued to my desk and my computer completing all the edits in the next book. Let me tell you, it has been a job. There have been so many changes since the last update. So I thought I would just give you a little hint of what is to come in the new updated book with this article. The book should be ready by November, which is plenty of time for a stocking stuffer or Christmas gift. I hope some of these ideas are helpful for you and your family.
Do you go through roll after roll of paper towels? It seems like such a waste. And that’s why I got so excited about a new product from Libman called Tear N Wipe Microfiber Cloths. It looks just like a roll of paper towels but made from a microfiber cloth. Talk about convenience! Let me just list a few ways you can use Tear N Wipe. Clean off so many surfaces in the kitchen and since it’s a microfiber it doesn’t leave any streaks. I dry off all my crystal after washing, it leaves no spots. I clean my glass top stove, the microfiber grabs all the little crumbs instead of just pushing them around. I can dust, clean mirrors, wipe off faucets in the kitchen and bath and don’t get me started about keeping them in the car. You get 15 towels on the roll and since you can wash and reuse, they last for months.
We have had to make so many concessions when it comes to light bulbs. It seems like once we have a bulb we can depend on, they discontinue it for some reason or another, and we are scrambling looking for another bulb that will provide the right light. But Philips has made a new bulb that is a great idea. Philips Motion Sensor Flood Light that has motion and daylight detection. The bulb turns on at nighttime or low level light in combination with detected motion. The bulb will stay on for 60 seconds. The bulb is off at daytime. It detects motion at a 23 foot distance. That would deter anyone coming by your fence. It has a brightness level of 1200 lumens and costs you about 1.50 a year to run three hours a day. Take any outdoor fixture and make it a motion detector.
If you’re like me, when you go to the grocery store, I have high hopes of cooking healthy and eating good. But the me that goes to the grocery store is not always the me that cooks after a long day at work. I throw out way more than I get to eat. Such a waste. But I don’t have that problem anymore because we found a new product called Fresh Cube. Fresh Cube will keep your produce fresh for up to 4 weeks in the refrigerator. I was just a little skeptical, then the Do It Best manager for kitchen products came up behind me and raved about her strawberries lasting 3 weeks. Well that got my attention. So I ordered 24 and took one home to my house. And she was right. It does extend the life of the produce by delaying the ripening process. I’m not sure why it works, but I know it does and I save money. It comes in a two pack which is a six month supply.
Do you have silicone caulk in and around the shower and tub? Have you tried to clean the mildew that builds up and just become frustrated because NOTHING will clean off the mildew. The reason is the mildew is not on the surface of the silicone caulking. Silicone is a mildew magnet, and it draws the stain deep into the caulk making it impossible to clean. RMR86 is the only product that I know of that will clean mildew out of silicone. Spray it on the stain and let it just air dry and then rinse. You can also use it on the seals that get so dirty in a front loading washing machine.
These are just a few items that were not in the last book but will be in your new book. This book will be special, it’s our 80th year in business. I am proud to say I have been here for 45 of those years.
