ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
It's curtains for scary shower mildew

Advertiser Staff

According to idealbite.com, after watching the shower scene in "Psycho" in which her character was killed, Janet Leigh only took showers when she had to, locking all doors and windows beforehand. But for the rest of us, it might be the mildew on a vinyl shower curtain making us psycho. Good news: A hemp or organic cotton shower curtain with a nylon liner will last forever and can be tossed in the washer.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR A CLEAN FLOOR

Floor it with these cleaning tips gathered by The Arizona Republic:

  • Look at your broom and mop. Have they outlived their cleanliness? If they're just pushing more grime and dust into the air, buy new ones.

  • A good rule is to vacuum once a week for every person who lives in the house.
