Cleaning your bathroom on a regular basis is of crucial importance. Wherever you are tackling such a task, you want to get rid of soap scum, mould, mildew, and hard water spots altogether. Bleach is a powerful cleaning ingredient that is able to deal with bacteria, germs, brighten surfaces and eliminate odours.
Bleach, however, is a strong chemical and whenever you are using it, you should take some safety precautions. For example, you should never pour bleach directly down the drain as it may cause damage to the pipes or septic system. Ideally, you should work with bleach in only well-ventilated areas with the fan or bathroom exhaust fan on. Keep children and pets away from the bathroom while you are cleaning with bleach and always wear gloves in order to protect your skin from getting damaged by the strong chemical.
Another important thing to keep in mind is to avoid mixing bleach with other chemicals. Bleach and ammonia, for example, is a dangerous combination that may emit dangerous gases.
Whenever it is time to clean up your bathroom, follow these tips from professional cleaners for doing it in the best and most efficient way using bleach.

If you love cooking, you probably know that dutch ovens are one of the most versatile cooking pieces in any kitchen. They can be used both on the stovetop and in the oven. Some models are even suitable for a campfire! Their many uses include making soups and stews, simmering pasta and other sauces, braising meats, baking bread, as well as a serving pot. They come in a variety of sizes and always have a tight-fitting lid. The biggest sizes of dutch ovens can hold a whole turkey.
Depending on the type of dutch oven that you have, the price may vary, as well as the materials they are made from. Originally, dutch ovens are made of seasoned cast iron.

This is why, with proper cleaning and maintenance, a dutch oven can last for generations. The method you should use depends on the materials your pot is made from.
As with all kitchenware, you should clean your dutch oven after every use. Most solid cast iron ones do not need to be scrubbed every time, however, the interior should be wiped clean.
