Leather jackets of great quality are, no doubt, expensive. I am sure that you do not want to waste your hard-earned money by ruining your leather. This is why proper cleaning, caring and storing your leather jackets is important.

If you just got your first leather jacket, or if you have ruined one too many of your leather jackets, lucky you. Today, I will be sharing how you can properly clean and store your leather jacket, so it will last you a long time.

I like floor tiles. They’re so much easier to clean than marble floors. In fact, we’ve gone from marble floors to tiles. In my parents’ old house we had marble floors. Yeah it’s fun to use (and ride on) the floor polisher, but OMG all the work. LOL.

But tiles, they’re so easy to clean. Low maintenance, at least as what I have personally experienced. And they come in different colors and designs, too.

So here are a few tile cleaning tips you might wanna try sometime.

How to Keep Floor Tiles Clean

• Get a lemon and cut it lengthwise. Rub the stained bathroom or kitchen tiles with the lemon and leave it for 15 minutes. Rinse well with water.
• For bathroom tiles that already have hard-water coats, use a fine sandpaper. Afterwards, clean it with a soapy sponge and rinse.
• Bathroom tiles can also be cleaned with a solution of salt and washing soda. Sprinkle some salt on the cracks between tiles and use a stiff brush to clean out the dirt and grime. Rinse the tiles with cold water.
• Rust stains on tiles can be removed with vinegar.
• You also try mixing four tablespoons of liquid ammonia with four and a half liters of water. This solution can be used to wash bathroom tiles.

Keep your floor tiles, bathroom tiles and kitchen tiles clean. A clean and organized home is a joy to come home to.

Reading is, in my personal opinion, a very underrated hobby. These days, everything is digital. Books are now being set aside for e-Books. Buying paperbacks and hardbound books seem somewhat ages ago with the rise of electronic reading devices, specifically the Kindle.

I have nothing against e-books and e-book readers. It is just that, as someone who loves to read and collect books, there is something to be said about touching the book itself, savoring the smell of freshly opened book, the smell of ink on paper. There is something about turning each page as the plot thickens, each page more exciting than the last.

If you are like me, who loves collecting books, I am sure that you have once thought about how you can clean and maintain your book collection properly. You know what, regularly cleaning your books will help make them last longer.

In this post, I would like to share with you some book cleaning tips so you can enjoy your Amazon books for a long time.

Proper Book Cleaning and Maintenance

• Soiled edges of books can be cleaned using a very fine sandpaper or a soft pencil eraser.
• Instead of using a soft cloth when dusting your books, consider using a soft brush.
• Protect valuable books and manuscripts from being infested by insects and termites, always keep a few pieces of sandalwood inside your bookcase.
• A few dried leaves of Neem inside a page of a book can help keep away insects and silverfish.

I do hope you find these tips very helpful. Remember, your books are not just investments. They reflect your passion for knowledge and enriching your imagination. Do keep your books clean and well-maintained!
