Summer season means visits to the pool to cool off. After taking a dip in the pool, be sure to rinse off with fresh water to remove residual pool water from your bathing suit. When you get home, wash your swimsuit and any other clothing you brought to the pool, including T-shirts, cover-ups and socks. Even in the low levels found in pools, chlorine can still be oxidizing to fabrics, causing them to fade, stiffen and wear out quickly. Immediately laundering will help protect them after a fun day in the sun.

Do you want to plant a tree in your yard, but have no idea which one is right for you and your home? Finding the right tree is critical, because a wrong choice can wither and die quickly. The National Arbor Day Foundation's Tree Wizard makes it easy to find the perfect tree. Just enter your ZIP code, the type you're interested in (e.g. fruit, evergreen), the type of soil you have, sun exposure and what your overall goal is (e.g height, growth rate), and it'll list all the options that would be perfect for you. Use the wizard at arborday.org.

If you've gotten into the habit of unplugging things like chargers, small appliances and electronics when not in use, congrats to you. But not everything always has to be unplugged. Older appliances that lack all the bells and whistles of modern electronics are energy sippers, not hogs. Old and simple alarm clocks, lamps and even washers and dryers that lack LED screens and monitors can be left plugged in. Always focus on the actual energy hogs to save costs, and save yourself the hassle by leaving the old-fashioned ones plugged in.
