REFRIGERATOR ODORS
If you purchase a used
refrigerator or freezer there
may be some problems with
removing the musty odor.
One inexpensive way of
removing the stale odor is to
use newspaper. Clean the
appliance, then fill it with
loosely crumpled newspaper
or brown paper. Leave the
paper about two days,
changing it once a day. If
some odor remains after you
start using the appliance,
place a few crumpled pieces
of paper on the shelves for a
few days. The papers tend to
absorb the problem.
HOME SAFETY
Now is the time to check
around your home to make
sure your property is safe. A
few dollars and a short
amount of time spent
eliminating hazards can
really pay off in the long run.
Take a good look around your
home—
-Are any steps loose or
broken?
-Are stair handrials in good
shape?
-Are fence posts, decks and
lawn furniture sturdy?
-Is carpeting securely
tacked down 9
-Is summer garden equip
ment stored beyond the
access of children?
-Are there any rusted spots
or splinters on children’s
swing sets and outdoor toys?
-Are clothes dryers and
air-conditioner units proper
ly vented?
