Lilies can be beautiful flowers for floral arrangements, but they can also be deadly to cats. First, know the difference between benign and toxic ones: Peace, calla and Peruvian lilies can cause some irritation to cats if ingested, but they’re not deadly. It’s the so-called “true lilies,” like tiger, day, east and Japanese Show that can cause major problems for your cats if they chew on the petals. The toxins in these flowers can cause severe kidney failure and should be avoided in homes with cats.

When you rinse fruits and veggies under a faucet, you’re actually making two mistakes: wasting water AND washing your produce incorrectly. The best method is to place your produce in a large bowl, fill it to the top with water and add a little white vinegar and baking soda, then let it sit for 10-15 minutes. The vinegar will help disinfect, the baking soda helps clean, and gravity will push dirt and debris to the bottom of the bowl. It’s effective and water-efficient.

Most dentists agree you should brush your teeth for about two full minutes to get your pearly whites perfectly clean. But if you’re a multitasker who brushes your teeth in the shower, you should reconsider that morning ritual. The reason? You’re standing in the shower for two full minutes, wasting water while brushing your teeth. That’s a waste of about 4 gallons of water every time you shower, which can equal hundreds of gallons of H2O down the drain every year.
