Bamboo flooring has gained popularity in recent years. It is surprisingly durable and hard, similar to oak and maple. However, its water resistance is even better and bamboo floors are less susceptible to water damage than any other wood.

You should immediately wipe any liquids and spills in order to prevent them from staining the surface of your bamboo floor. Another important task is the regular dusting of the floor. Whenever mud and dirt are brought in, their little particles may scratch the bamboo and cause it to look dull and faded.

Plastic is an issue. It is most commonly seen fouling landfills, where it can take up to 400 years to degrade or poison our planet’s marine ecosystems. However, plastic is a big part of our everyday lives.

If you like coffee, you’ve probably experimented with every form of coffee maker—the single-cup Keurig, a French press, a Moka pot, and even a grinder for fresh grounds. If you’re like most coffee drinkers, you’ve reverted to the original coffee pot since it makes enough coffee for a tableful of drinkers and swiftly creates another pot for seconds.
Most traditional coffee makers function by pumping hot water through a filtered basket of coffee grounds into a glass carafe. These makers are efficient, frequently have a warming plate, and are simple to operate. They must also be cleaned on a regular basis to eliminate minerals that adhere to the maker from the water used, as well as coffee oils that stick to the components, get rancid, and degrade the coffee taste.
