Do your pets sleep indoors or outside?
Comments (30)Cats indoors with the back verandah built in for them (snake mesh). I believe cats should be contained for their safety and that of wildlife. I am on acreage with nearest road/neighbour 1 km away - so for my cats it is really about the safety of wildlife. 2 small indoor dogs - mini dachshund and chihuahua. Indoors for their safety and they are a part of the family. 1 outdoor dog protecting livestock. I have always had dogs inside. I used to have larger dogs and they would be wherever I was, and outdoors when I wasn't home. I have had a lot of dogs... chosen and rescues/highway pickups. I have always heard the argument that it is not hygienic having them indoors.... and now I have had kids I can confidently say kids are far worse than dogs. My house used to always be clean and clutter free. Now I am constantly cleaning and tidying and telling kids to pick up stuff - and I might get 5 minutes a day where it looks like what it always looked like when I just had dogs!...See MoreA trend that should end?
Comments (260)Tell me about it, the ones across the road were going all day and night in the front yard, including revving up a motor bike they're not allowed to ride! my hubby wears flannie shirts when he's not in work gear. He likes ripping them, that's a trend that should end. of course, all Australian flag thongs (flip flops) are made in China!...See MoreWhich laundry layout should we choose?
Comments (6)Great ideas - love the play pen concept, ha! Good point about finding another location to iron but I’ve asked for the washer/dryer cavity to be moved inwards by 120-150mm so I do have a spot I can slide the ironing board into instead of taking up space where a broom might otherwise live in a broom closet. I’m keeping the stacked arrangement bc a) I have a condenser dryer that can’t be wall mounted anyway so the stack arrangement currently works fine and b) I too wish to use baskets under benchtop for storage. I can’t see much use for cupboards the way I use my laundry and I like that I won’t have to bend for one more appliance (if only it could be the washer since I use it more!) I’ll have to deal with the washer door opening the wrong way for a while but she’s a teenager - at least 14 years, we reckon - so how much longer can she last? I’ve since researched the doors on my brand and they have all changed to the RHS opening now. So it’s a good thing I didn’t locate the machines next to the door! That would have been awkward. My dryer door can be rehung to suit any side for opening. The more I think about it, the more a centrally located sink makes sense to me in a small space and I’m happy to have come to this positioning. It’s arguably the only ‘appliance’ you’d need to stand right in front of while using, and therefore be standing comfortably in the middle of the room, not off to one side. I’ve realised that when loading a machine, you have to stand to one side. And similarly if you’re either opening a lower cabinet or pulling out a basket from under a bench. So putting either of those items bang smack in the middle of a galley arrangement means you’re cutting off your space while using it. Thanks for your input. Appreciate it!...See MoreCritical points of home cleaning
Comments (0)Critical points of home cleaning Not every component of housekeeping calls for the same level of focus. Some things need to be done right away more than others. Considering the importance of carrying out this cleaning, especially when people with allergies or asthma live in it, it is interesting to know what are the critical points of cleaning the home. Index of contents The kitchen Bathroom The bedroom home with pets Three essential cleaning points good ventilation The kitchen The hub of any house is the kitchen. All the members of the house pass through it at least twice a day and there is a high transit of germs and bacteria that come directly from organic food. Poor kitchen hygiene can lead to severe and very unpleasant poisoning, so it is extremely important that it be a priority in our daily and weekly cleaning plan. Bathroom It is another of the critical points of home cleaning and the second most important. Whether we are aware of it or not, a large number of germs and bacteria accumulate in it . There are aspects that we do not take into account and that play a very important role. For example, when we flush, some tiny drops can end up on the floor and other parts of the bathroom, so a very practical tip is to close the lid of the basin before flushing. The bedroom Generally when we go to bed we have washed ourselves before but the reality is that we sometimes sweat on the bed, and in some cases traces of saliva are deposited on the bedding from a bad closure of our mouth while sleeping. However, the most important thing is that the mattress is a place that can collect a lot of moisture, giving rise to the proliferation of certain undesirable germs . Therefore, shaking and airing the bedding and the room every morning is almost mandatory. Other places highly susceptible to pick up pathological agents In addition to these three rooms, there are certain places in the house where a lot of dirt or humidity tends to accumulate and, with it, a large number of germs. These places and objects are: The switches (we touch them constantly and sometimes with dirty hands) The cloth and scourer (they collect bacteria from dishes and kitchen surfaces) The toothbrush (collects germs from our mouth) the bedding Soil The shoes sportswear The places where pets sleep litter boxes for cats If you want to increase the degree of cleanliness in your home. The next time you make your weekly plan with the tasks to be carried out, keep these three main rooms in mind and give them priority over others such as the living room or the terrace. On the other hand, take care that these critical points in the home, as well as the places and objects in the house that we have presented to you, are properly cared for: use the most effective products and be constant to achieve what you have proposed. Home with pets There is no doubt that the experience of living with pets is so enriching that it has become a widespread custom around the world. At any age, living with animals is favorable and beneficial. However, you should not lose sight of the fact that the adoption of a pet entails not only the responsibility of taking care of it. place tidy as well . This last point is key, since some carelessness can harm our health: there are diseases related to animals for which it is necessary to take some measures. Below, we present all the tips to keep your home with pets clean . Three essential cleaning points One of the essential points on our task list: Clearly establish three important places: the spaces where they can sleep, eat and relieve themselves. In the resting place they will spend a lot of time, so it is essential to keep their bed clean . On the other hand, when eating, it is likely that they leave food remains, deposit hair or produce drool, for which an environment such as the kitchen (where maintaining hygiene is essential) is not recommended. Finally, delimiting the place where our pets relieve themselves is essential to prevent the germs that this causes from spreading. Being clear about these spaces in the house will allow you to delimit the areas that need a deeper wash. When it comes to cleaning, some habits will be very useful. The eventual moments in which the animals are not in the house are ideal occasions to carry out the task with freedom and comfort. Likewise, you can temporarily place pets in a room, until the disinfection is finished. A good recommendation. It is to start the grooming in the areas that require the most complicated washing, generally those where the animals inhabit the longest amount of time. Good ventilation In more general lines, to keep the home with pets clean , it is of the utmost importance to constantly favor the ventilation of the house by opening the windows. If you have carpets, you should air them periodically, since they tend to store a lot of dirt, dust, and hair that cause allergies. The use of disinfectant aerosols is very productive, eliminating the germs that contract diseases. Likewise, the vacuum cleaner is an excellent ally to intensify cleaning and an indisputable partner when it comes to reaching the most difficult-to-reach places. These straightforward tips will enable you to maintain a suitable and tidy environment for your pets, making pet ownership a delightful experience.
