BATHROOM SAFETY
Accidents do happen all
around the house, but they
occur most commonly in the
bathroom. To make sure that
your bathroom is as safe as
possible for you and your
family, see how it shapes up
with this bathroom safety
checklist:
* Date and label all medi
cines and check their shelf
life. Medicines used incorrect
ly or beyond their expiration
date can be more harmful
than helpful.
* Store all medicines and
caustic cleaning compounds
in locked cabinets to prevent
accidental intake by children
and pets. And, even when dis
carding empty and old con
tainers, place them where
your small loved ones can’t
get at them.
* liarsh chemical cleaners
can be harmful if accidentally
used improperly. Always read
instructions before using any
cleanser and, whenever pos
sible, avoid using hazardous
ones. For example, instead of
using drain cleaners which
contain dangerous lye or acid,
nse Drain Power, the first
drain opener to use pressure
to unclog sinks and bathtubs.
* Line your bathtub with
a rubber mat or with dec
orative rubber decals to pre
vent falls. A handle or rod
installed on the shower wall
will provide extra protection,
too.
* Never use electrical ap
pliances near water or wet
surfaces. If you must use
them in the bathroom, be
sure to unplug them when
they’re not being used.
KITCHEN SURFACES
If everything in the kitch
en were made out of the
same material, it would prob
ably be the easiest room in
the house to clean. But since
this isn’t the case, it’s useful
to know how to treat various
kitchen surfaces. For ex
ample:
* Butcher Blocks. These
popular wooden work sur
faces can take a lot of rough
treatment, but you must
avoid saturating them with
water which causes warping.
To clean a butcher block
lii/i' nr;
wi ••
wipe it quickly with luke
warm water mild suds and
dry. Re-season when nec
essary by pouring boiled lin
seed oil over wood surfaces
and rubbing it in, with steel
wool.
*Formica countertops are
attractive, but they scratch,
so don t use them as cutting
surfaces. Avoid using abrasives
such as steel wool when
cleaning. Steel wool leaves
aerftches on some kitchen
surfaces which can catch
dirt and become the breeding
ground for germs. To easily
remove soil from your for
mica countertops, use new
Glass*Plus™' glass, appliance
and cabinet cleaner. Just
spray it on and wipe with a
damp sponge or cloth—no
need to rinse.
*Sink faucets which have
been chromium- or nickle
plated should not be washed
with scouring powders, which
can wear off the plating, al
though these powders are safe
for the porcelain sinks they
service. To keep faucets
sparkling, clean them with
non-abrasive spray cleaner.
According to Arab tradition,
Mohammed was carried to
heaven on the back of a mare
with the wings of an eagle
and a human face.
or to the Division of Motor
Vehicles Headquarters in
Raleigh and he assured them
that, new stickers would be
issued to them at no cost.
Powell encouraged motorists
to inspect the stickers before
_applyingJhem to determine if
they are damaged.
Powell said “We don’t
know the extent of the
numbers of damaged stickers,
' but 1 have instructed the
Registration Officials to begin
an immediate investigation
into this matter.”
