Harvest Herbs
Snip 2- to 3-inch cuttings after the morning dew has dried, and store them in the fridge loosely wrapped to prevent premature mold.
Check Tire Pressure on Lawn Mowers
Unevenly inflated pneumatic tires can cause steering issues and uneven cuts. Test yours using a tire-pressure gauge.
Banish Grass Stains
To save your carpet from tracked-in turf, mix ¼ teaspoon laundry detergent with 1 cup cold water and blot onto the stain using a clean cloth, working from the outside in.
Surge Safely
Before summer storms hit, plug large electronics and appliances into top-quality surge protectors to safeguard the devices from damage and reduce the risk of household fires.
Brighten Exterior Lights
Bugs and dust can dampen their glow. Give them a boost by washing covers with glass cleaner and wiping bulbs with a dry microfiber cloth.
Repair Screen Doors
Use a utility knife to cut a clean square around the hole, then patch it using a repair kit from the home center.
