Do you want to extend the life of a face mask or use a nonchemical means to sanitize reusable face masks? A study by the Journal of Medical Virology tested the idea of just using steam to sanitize surgical masks and N95 respirators. It was simple: A used mask was placed in a plastic bag and steamed over boiling water in a regular kitchen pot. After just five minutes, the masks were completely sterilized, with no damage whatsoever. At home, you can use a handheld steamer to sterilize masks when washing and drying isn't an easy option.

A bonsai tree may seem like a beautiful and exotic plant to bring to your home as household decor, but think twice if anyone in your house has allergies. Bonsai trees are usually well-groomed miniature juniper and cedar trees. For many people, these two types of trees can trigger serious allergies. And even those who aren't allergic can still be bothered just by touching them. A prick from a bonsai tree can leave an irritation on the skin.

Many of us wouldn't think twice about wearing sunscreen if we're spending a day at the beach, but what about in your office? If you spend a lot of time by a sunny window at work, you're exposing yourself to harmful ultraviolet rays all day long, even outside the peak hours of sunlight. Not only is this harmful to your skin, it also can fade interior furnishings as well. Instead of slathering on zinc oxide or covering up the window, consider investing in a UV protection film that coats the inside of the window. It will block 99% of the UV rays and is virtually invisible.
