How To Freshen Your Towels And Get Rid Of That Mildew Stink


Mornings are tough. Many people need an incentive to wake up. But the worst way to start your day is by grabbing a damp towel off the rack and pew-yew!

If those towels spent a day wet in the washer before they hit the dryer, that smell is mildew.

What to do? Never fear, white vinegar is here to work its magic. The cure is just one cup of vinegar added to your load of towels in the washing machine on the hot setting. There is no need to use soap and never use bleach.

After the wash cycle is complete, throw the towels into the dryer with a dryer sheet. Voila, the problem is solved. Your towels are back in action.

Have other smelly clothes? Vinegar can be used to freshen up damp gym stuff and bathing suits as well.

15 Cleaning Hacks Everyone Should Know


Mrs. January is not a company that tries to sell you “better” cleaning products but instead gives you tips on using simple techniques to clean various rooms and items in your home. Cleaning is not something many people particularly like to do but is necessary in order to maintain everyone’s health and to prevent various fatalistic biohazards from running rampant in the house to the point of having to tear the house down. For example, another way you can clean water rings left on your counter or cabinet is by quickly running a blow dryer on it and you can remove price labels from new dishes just by dunking them under some OxyClean.


The key to healthy cleaning is not the length of time it takes but being skillful with what you already have around the house.

Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas Easy as 1,2,3!


For all those unfamiliar with the dish, chimichangas are essentially deep-fried burritos filled with a variety of savory fillings, such as pulled pork or beef, beans, rice and cheese. But given that I can’t go a day without a bite of something sweet, I dreamt up a dessert version that stars a homemade strawberry cheesecake filling rolled inside flour tortillas. The stuffed tortillas go for a quick dunk in boiling oil and a final swish in cinnamon and sugar. The result is a twist on traditional cheesecake that swaps pillowy tortillas for the classic graham cracker crust.
