A for real review.

I did get that budget book and it's nice enough for my needs.

This is about the mini washer that came in the same order, though.

They were on sale for $20, but I think I got a cheap knockoff of what's actually pictured.

Affiliate link: https://amzn.to/4giL9v9

And it is not inexpensive, it's cheap. There's a difference.

There's lots of flash, the hoses are super thin and fragile, they also came already dented...

The only way to stop the water from draining out is to clip the drain hose up. The clip, the bracket, and the hose are all super cheap and flimsy. Some of the reviewers said their drain hose developed holes at the bottom rendering the whole device useless because there's no way to make it hold water at that point.

I didn't even use the feed hose, I just filled it from the top and ran the whole thing IN the sink on a grate so it could drain without getting the power plug wet.

I had the same issue many had with the drying/spin basket in that it would just pop right off the bracket in the bottom, so I wrung the items out by hand instead of using the spin basket.

I also had to finish the rinse by hand because I had used a little too much soap. I think I put 3 or 4 drops, or a 1/4tsp of soap and needed less.

It sounds horrible and I expect the little motor to burn out pretty quickly.

It would rock less if it were on a flat, stable surface and does come with suction cup feet to help it stay level. They weren't engaged because I was using it on that grate.

The biggest, scariest problem is the plug. The prongs are too long so it can't actually sit flush in the outlet, and it's not grounded, which is concerning with something that uses water.

Anyway, I'd bought this to try using with doll clothes because I thrift stuff all the time and it takes me a while to wash the clothes. The washer is a little too violent for doll clothes because it did cause the Velcro-like strips to open and then they snagged themselves and other garments in the washer. I did think ahead and tried it with clothes that were already in poor condition so I didn't ruin anything nice. Less worn closure tape might stay closed better.

I do like that I can leave the top open and look in while it washes, but that's only because there are no sensors of any type in the machine. There's only go and not go on the button panel on the front, and you can choose 1, 5, or 10 minutes of go.

It... Works. It works ok. It did work to agitate the items I washed (some doll clothes and a couple cleaning cloths), used less water than I usually use to hand wash doll clothes (I usually soak them in a big bin for a while), and, I mean... It works???

I think it would be fine for washing like, one day of underwear or some baby clothes maybe. It does say not to try towels or sheets because it's very small. It does NOT hold 9 liters. It holds maybe 6 but I wouldn't put more than a half to a gallon in there.

It's cheap AF and will likely stop working sooner rather than later. The motor struggled. It's best use would be for soaking things with the benefit of having a drain hose.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #316

Today's letter might be a bit short; my focus is scattered all over the place, and my legs are screaming at me from a long walk in the woods today. I don't have any profound thought to share or anything insightful to write about today, because it is late and my brain is the consistency of soup.

…And it's not even some kind of soup with a thick consistency, either - like a bisque or a chowder. No, this is more like a thin soup with sad, scraggly little noodles, and maybe a small piece of carrot floating around aimlessly.

Still, I had fun today, even if I'm tired now. 😁

I got up early today to pick up my friend, BB, from a car shop; she had to leave hers there to get it inspected and all that. But M needed his car for an appointment today, so I couldn't go on my own because she wanted hangouts afterwards. So M and I both went, and we picked her up, and M dropped BB and I off at her house for hangouts and then he went home.

BB and I did all sorts of fun stuff together!! She showed me some of the music from Final Fantasy 14, and then we watched some kitboga on YouTube (the guy who scams scammers), and then… I gathered up a bunch of their bottles and cans.

In my world, bottles and cans can be recycled. Where I live, one can get money for this if you use special recycling places. You insert the cans or bottles into a special machine, one by one, and in the end, you get a receipt that you can redeem for money - 5 cents per can or bottle turned in this way.

For reference, 100 cents makes up a dollar. It takes about 4 dollars to purchase one gallon of milk. It takes about 3 dollars to purchase a carton of 12 chicken eggs. I don't know how much gil these things cost in your world, or what the economics are that influence the price of these things in your world, though, so I can't say how many gil a dollar is worth. Sorry about that.

Normally, we of my house just put our cans and bottles into the recycling bin at home and some folks take it away, and we do not get any money for it. But at my job, they want to host some kind of potluck, and the people setting it up are accepting the receipts from those special machines to pay for the potluck. BB and her husband N go through a lot of bottles and cans, so with their help, I gathered up everything they have, and managed to fill up a giant trash bag about halfway! I should get at least a couple dollars for it, and then I'll give it to the folks organizing the potluck!

I helped to clean up N's study a little, too, in the process! And from there, BB's car's inspection was done, so M returned, and we drove BB to the place where her car was so she could pick it up. And then M and I went home, and we got some candy for tomorrow on the way. It feels good to be able to help my friends! And I even got a nice picture of the sky on the way home, too...

After I got home, I finally got around to cooking some rice in the leftover juices from those chicken leg quarters I made before. I know that it's been sitting in my fridge for a while now, but chicken juices tend to be pretty stable, especially if they're put into the jar hot and the fat rises to the surface and solidifies to prevent bacterial growth. It still won't keep forever, but still, it's usually good for about a week or two, as long as it doesn't smell weird.

But then, I forgot that tonight, J and I were supposed to do a night walk in our nearby nature trails with a group of hikers! So I put the rice in and set it to cook in the chicken juices (I added a little water to it, to make up for the volume taken up by the fat), and then we left the house pretty much right after that; I asked M to unplug the rice cooker when it beeped, so that the rice wouldn't get dried out and weird; that's what happens if you let it sit in the "keep warm" setting for too long.

The walk was done at night; it was dark. I couldn't get a whole lot of pictures, but I did get a couple…

...I feel really lucky to have been able to snag these, even with my silly little cellphone camera!

The walk was two hours long, though. And the people we walked with were nice enough, but... my body hasn't engaged in lengthy activity for some time now, so even though we got back at like 8:30pm and it is now 12:30am, my legs are still kinda yelling at me, haha...

The rice was ready by the time I got back! By J's request, I had put the steamer basket in there, too; he had cut up some carrots and broccoli ahead of time and left it in the fridge inside the steamer basket. The veggies were maybe a little over-steamed, but they were still good. I put it in a bowl with the rice and the leftover salmon and mushrooms; it was very good!

...Want some...?

I had intended to go to bed sooner than this, but like I said, my focus was scattered everywhere. But, as a happy result of my lack of focus, I got to have a very heartwarming conversation with one of my readers today, and I hope it leads to a nice friendship! We seem to have similar views on a variety of things, and she has told me a little about herself and her world, and I was really impressed by the upbeat attitude she maintains despite the various challenges she faces; I'm sure I could learn a lot by interacting with her, and I feel really lucky that she reached out!

...I wonder if I should make more effort to reach out more often. I'm generally afraid of making the first move when it comes to that sort of thing, though - even with people I know well. I feel like this attitude is rather limiting; maybe I'll talk about figuring out how to change it with my therapist on Tuesday...

Well anyway. My soup brain is getting the better of me. So I'm gonna stop writing now and go to bed.

I love you. Please stay safe out there so you can read tomorrow's letter, okay?

Your friend, Lumine

Do you have a screenprinted shirt/hoodie that's stained? A pair of jeans that you hate the color of? Do you really want that cool merch hoodie but it's only sold in an ugly ass color? Do you want to dye something but not mess up the decal?

You need: fiber reactive dye! This is my how-to; it's enough stuff for a hoodie, a couple t-shirts, and a pair of jeans. About 5lb of cloth when it's dry.

Here's how this hoodie was sold and how it turned out. I bought it before he had the black one in the shop, back when the only color options were pink and blue.

Note: these instructions are for a front-loading washing machine and natural plant fabrics like cotton. Other methods are listed here:

Supplies:

The dye (1 8-ounce jar) https://a.co/d/aR1U5tP

The activator (soda ash, get 2 1-lb bags) https://a.co/d/9di48gH

3 26-ounce containers of non-iodized salt https://www.walmart.com/ip/10448311

A 5-gallon bucket https://a.co/d/12sZoPR

Something to boil 1gal of water in (I did it in 2 batches with my kettle)

Something to stir with (I used a big serving spoon, this dye will NOT stain anything but fabric)

A washing machine, regular laundry stuff

Vinegar

How I did it:

1. Wash the clothes you want to dye normally, but don't add fabric softener.

2. While the load is finishing, put all 3 things of salt, 3 cups (700ish ml) of soda ash, and half a cup (115ish ml) of dye, in the bucket.

3. Boil 1 gallon (4ish liters) of water and pour it in the bucket (I did this by boiling 2L at a time in my kettle)

4. Stir stir stir! Dissolve it as well as you possibly can.

5. When the load is done, take the clothes out.

6. Pour the whole bucket of dye mix straight into the washing machine. I was able to tip the whole bucket into my machine, but do be careful and think ahead on how you're going do this part.

7. Put the wet clothes back in the machine. Don't add anything else like soap.

8. Start the machine, using the hottest and longest cycle possible (on my machine this is the 'whites' setting).

9. Once the cycle is finished, add your regular laundry stuff to the machine (soap, fabric softener), and fill the bleach compartment with vinegar.

10. Run the machine again on the hottest and longest cycle.

11. Tumble or hang dry. Enjoy!

Reverse Osmosis Can Combat Limescale In Your Kitchen

The DNA Water Purifier uses 4-stage Water Purification including Filtration via Reverse Osmosis making it an ideal solution for potential limescale build-up in your appliances and the removal of heavy metals in your drinking water. The DNA Water Purifier can also range from ambient temperature up to 95°C, ultimately replacing your kettle. In this blog, we will go over the effects of limescale and how Reverse Osmosis Filtration can combat it.

What Is Limescale

Limescale, a hard, off-white deposit, begins to form, silently damaging your plumbing and appliances. This pesky substance is a byproduct of limescale formation, which occurs when water with high levels of calcium and magnesium flows through your pipes. These minerals precipitate out of the water, leaving behind a stubborn residue that’s notoriously difficult to remove.

If you live in an area with hard water (high levels of grains per gallon), you’re likely no stranger to the telltale signs of limescale: streaked dishes, cloudy glassware, and soap scum buildup. Limescale acts as an insulator, forcing appliances with a heating element to work harder, over time, this can lead to increased energy consumption. The build-up of limescale can have costly consequences such as reducing the efficiency of your appliances, increasing your energy bills, clogging pipes and overall damaging your appliances over time.

What Is Reverse Osmosis Filtration?

Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective forms of water filtration because unlike chemical or carbon filtration systems, which use certain materials to attract or directly target the contaminants in the water, reverse osmosis works by pushing water through a microscopically small filter material. Instead of thermal energy, it uses high amounts of pressure to push the water through the filters.

This semi-permeable membrane has a pore size of around 0.0001 microns, effectively only allowing the small water molecules through and catching any larger molecules of contaminants, organic materials or even salt. Even dissolved substances are separated from the water and this is because the membrane essentially strips the water down to basic molecules as it passes through. Even residential-grade reverse osmosis filters can remove up to 99% of lead, asbestos and 82 other additional contaminants.

How Does Reverse Osmosis Filtration Combat Limescale?

Reverse osmosis filters, which use a semi-permeable membrane to remove impurities from water, are a more effective solution for reducing limescale buildup, as they’re capable of removing the minerals responsible for scaling, such as calcium and magnesium. You can expect a significant reduction in limescale deposits, making it an attractive option for those struggling with hard water (high levels of grains per gallon).

Using the DNA Water Purifier you can expect a drastic change in your home once you start using purified water;

If you have a coffee machine that takes a tank of water you can now fill that tank with purified water which reduces limescale buildup within the pipes of your coffee machine.

Using purified water in your fish tanks is a bonus because your aquatic pets won’t be exposed to the added human contaminants or minerals.

Cooking with purified water also has a change in improved taste due to the absence of the added minerals.

Using purified water in your kettles will help your appliance last longer.

Peace of mind knowing exactly what is in your drinking water.

Additional Benefits of the DNA Water Purifier

With a modern design and a user-friendly function, the DNA Water Purifier will keep you and your family happy and healthy by giving you more than just pure water. The unit has a 4-in-1 Filter Cartridge for easy cartridge replacement and will last you 5000L. It has 5 Temperature Settings (Ambient, 40°C, 60°C, 80°C, 95°C) and has a child lock function to prevent any child from accidentally dispensing boiling water. For an added benefit you can read the visible TDS Indicator for Source and Purified Water to really get an idea of what is in your tap water.

Conclusion

The DNA Water Purifier is so much more than just a water purifier as it can replace your kettle, keep your pet fish healthy extend the longevity of your other appliances, and improve the flavour of your cooking and you simply have to plug it in at home, no installation required. Say goodbye to hard water and say hello to pure water. It is life in a glass.

12 Money-Saving Household Habits To Practice While Sheltering In Place

This health crisis doesn't seem to have an end date yet, so aside from adjusting to our “new normal” (a.k.a. self-isolation and staying at home), we also have to prepare for an uncertain future. This is why we can never go wrong with building up extra cash or filling up our emergency fund. 

Because you’re staying at home all day, it’s highly likely that you’re relying more heavily on utilities. You’re cooking more frequently, family members are glued to their screens more often, and you may have also opted to work from home. So this time is also a good opportunity to start learning and practicing more eco-friendly household habits to save water, energy, and even on your monthly food expenses. Having a little cash cushion is rewarding especially when things start to return to normal and you see how much has been saved in just a short time. 

Here are small but sustainable household habits and practices you could take that could go a long way, even when this crisis is over:

To keep your energy costs lower:

1. Use power strips.

Appliances like computers and computer-related equipment, coffee makers, video game consoles, DVD players, and kitchen appliances like microwave ovens, and even phone chargers, are called vampire appliances or energy vampires. Items like these continue to suck power even when they're off but still plugged in. And according to the Department of Energy, these vampire appliances and electronics account for 10 percent of energy used in an average home.

Stop this slow money burn by making it a habit to frequently unplug these items when you’re not using them. Better yet, connect them to easy-to-switch-off power strips so you can turn them off when not in use. Reducing your phantom load means less wasted electricity that could translate to more energy savings.

2. Wash clothes in warm or cold water.

If someone in your home is sick or one of the frontliners during this quarantine, you really have to wash their clothes in hot water and even bleach them. But for regular laundry, just switching from hot to warm water will cut every load's energy use in half. You’ll save even more money in utilities if you wash clothes in cold water. They’ll get just as clean, and most detergents nowadays work just as well in cold water. 

3. Turn off lights and fans when not in use.

Now that most family members are at home, make sure to brief them about diligently turning off the lights and fans when not in use. It isn't much to ask, but such a simple habit can add up to your monthly energy savings.

4. Run full loads in the washing machine or dishwasher.

You can save significantly on your water and energy bills if you run full loads of clothes in your washing machine or dishes in your dishwasher. If you can't wait for your clean dishes until there’s a full load of them, or you don’t have enough dirty items in your laundry, simply hand wash the things you need.

5. Clean your light bulbs.

Dirty light bulbs waste energy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, they emit 30 percent less light than clean ones. So while it might be a hassle, get a stepladder and rags and dust off both the bulb and fixture to get the light that you're paying for.

6. Limit your time in the shower.

We get it: most of us are guilty of taking long, steamy showers. After all, it's relaxing and a great part of our much-needed self-care routine. However, mindlessly letting your shower run not only wastes gallons of water but also money. Try to limit your shower time by setting a timer or timing it with your favorite song. Or turn the water off altogether for the meantime while waiting to rinse out your conditioner.

To save money on groceries:

7. Skimp on laundry detergent.

When it comes to getting your clothes fresh and clean, ditch the idea that more soap is better. As a general rule, you typically only need a tablespoon of detergent per regular load size. So forget about the measurement cup that comes with your detergent as they don't show the actual amount that’s needed. This way, your clothes actually get cleaner and there’ll be no soap residue left behind. Also, many problems with washing machines are found to be caused by using too much laundry detergent. So it isn’t only your clothes and appliance that will be saved, your wallet will thank you as well. 

8. Cut back on paper towels and use rags instead.

While paper towels are convenient for cleaning, they add up to your monthly costs without your knowing. So save your paper towels for cleaning messes that need to go straight into the trash, like oil and grease. Use cotton shop towels for general cleaning and dusting, or repurpose old clothes like old t-shirts or bath towels. Don't toss them in the wash after every wipe and instead run a load of laundry just for rags. Even if you calculate the costs of washing these towels, you’ll still save more compared to buying more rolls of paper towels.

9. Use homemade cleaners.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, proper cleaning and disinfecting have never been more important. So it isn't surprising that we sometimes go to our local grocery store only to find the shelves stripped bare of commercial cleaners and supplies. If you find yourself in such a situation, don’t fret. You can try making your own cleaning products using common household items like vinegar, baking soda, lemon or lime juice, and even essential oils. Many of these homemade cleaners are cheaper than brand name cleaners. You can check online for DIY cleaning recipes that won’t only disinfect but also leave your home smelling fresh.

10. Organize your pantry.

Keeping well-organized cabinets and pantries is an efficient way to cut down on your monthly food expenses simply because you are less likely to buy things you don't need or often use when you go to the grocery store. Organizing your storage will help you clear out what’s currently available and to avoid buying stuff or ingredients that you didn’t know you already have (especially if you bought them in bulk). 

Place your pantry priorities at a convenient location where you can see them immediately so you can take note when stocks run low. Also, try to group items into categories—spices, baking supplies, snacks, condiments, etc.—so you can easily find them when needed and avoid overspending just because you couldn’t find anything.

11. Stick to your shopping list and plan your meals.

Now that daily trips to the grocery store aren't feasible, we need to be more effective at our grocery shopping. Our mantra should be: don’t buy more than what we need. Because while it’s best for us to have enough food for two weeks, panic buying and hoarding will only do more harm than good. 

This time of crisis also isn’t a good time to make a lot of impulse buying. Just take note of essential quarantine items or supplies to stock your pantry with, such as canned goods, grains, cooking oil, dry goods and other pantry staples, healthy snacks, condiments, and spices. Practice making a list before you head to the grocery store, and then stick to it. 

And since you’re spending more time at home cooking, learn to plan your meals so you can make use of the stocks you currently have and reduce food waste. 

12. Set a household budget.

If you're still not doing this, it might be time to sit down and take a closer look at your monthly, even weekly, spending. It might be helpful to make a special “quarantine budget” to help guide your spending during lockdown. Since many of our common sources of spending are currently unavailable, such as travelling, eating out, going to the cinemas, and other social activities, your budget will probably have a lot more room. And any extra cash should go to an emergency fund because nobody knows how long this crisis will last. Money may be tight going forward, so saving whenever possible will go a long way. 

With the extra time and most of the family members staying at home, take this opportunity to sit down and learn to talk about how you can save more money as a family.

How to Refill a 5-Gallon Water Jug?

Introduction

Refilling a 5-gallon water jug might seem like a simple task, but doing it correctly is essential for ensuring the water remains clean and safe for consumption. This guide will walk you through the process, from selecting the right water source to properly sanitizing the jug and ensuring it's sealed correctly. Whether you're refilling for home, office, or outdoor use, these tips will help you maintain the quality of your water supply.

The Importance of Clean Water

Access to clean water is crucial for maintaining good health. Drinking contaminated water can lead to various health issues, including gastrointestinal infections, neurological disorders, and reproductive problems. Ensuring that your water jug is filled with clean, safe water is the first step toward protecting your health.

Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all bleach is washed out with clean water.

Steps to Refill a 5-Gallon Water Jug

Select a Clean Area: Ensure the refilling area is clean and free of contaminants.

Position the Jug: Place the jug on a stable surface.

Use a Funnel or Hose: Insert the funnel or hose attachment into the jug’s opening.

Begin Filling: Slowly pour or let the water flow into the jug, monitoring to prevent overfilling.

Seal the Jug: Once filled, secure the cap tightly to avoid leaks and contamination.

Using a Water Dispenser Machine

Water dispenser machines can simplify the refilling process. Here’s how to use them:

Clean the Dispenser: Wipe the nozzle with a clean cloth.

Position the Jug: Place your jug under the dispenser.

Start the Machine: Follow the machine’s instructions to start filling.

Monitor the Fill Level: Keep an eye on the water level to prevent overflow.

Seal the Jug: Once filled, securely fasten the cap.

Sanitizing Your Water Jug

Regular sanitization is essential to maintain water quality. Besides using bleach, you can use:

Vinegar Solution: Mix 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water.

Commercial Sanitizers: Follow the instructions on the label.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overfilling: Can lead to spills and waste.

Not Sanitizing: Can cause bacterial growth and contamination.

Improper Sealing: Leads to leaks and possible contamination.

Benefits of Using 5-Gallon Water Jugs

Cost Savings: Refilling is cheaper than buying bottled water.

Environmental Impact: Reduces plastic waste compared to single-use bottles.

Convenience: Large capacity means fewer trips for refills.

Where to Refill Your Water Jug

Local Refill Stations: Found in many supermarkets and dedicated refill stations.

Grocery Stores: Many offer water refill services.

Home Systems: Install a filtration system at home for easy access to clean water.

Cost of Refilling a 5-Gallon Water Jug

Refilling a 5-gallon water jug is cost-effective. Prices vary, but typically range from $0.30 to $0.50 per gallon, depending on location and water source.

Environmental Impact

Using 5-gallon water jugs helps reduce plastic waste significantly. Recycling these jugs and using refill stations contribute to a lower carbon footprint.

Maintaining Your Water Jug

Regular Cleaning: Clean your jug every few refills.

Check for Damage: Inspect for cracks or wear that could lead to leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q. How often should I sanitize my water jug? A. Sanitize your water jug at least once a month or after every few refills.

Q. Can I use tap water to refill my jug? A. Yes, but ensure it meets local health and safety standards.

Q. What is the best way to clean my jug? A. Use a bleach solution or commercial sanitizer and rinse thoroughly.

Q. Where can I find water refill stations? A. Many supermarkets, dedicated refill stations, and some convenience stores offer refill services.

Q. Is it safe to use a garden hose for refilling? A. Use only food-grade hoses to avoid contaminants.
