Bath Shower Home Design

Using a public water supply for drinking or bathing, is a decision that each and every one of us have to make every day based on trust, science and other factors.  The trust issue is critical and cannot be underestimated. After what occurred in Flint from 2014 to the present day, if residents decide to never use tap water again for cooking, bathing or showering, who could blame them? Or for that matter, who could blame those making a similar decision after having witnessed (or hearing about) the Flint water crisis ? We have met with residents of Washington D.C. who decades after being misled about water safety by CDC, EPA and the local utility DC WASA , will never drink unfiltered tap water again. That strikes us as a perfectly reasonable and rational decision based on life experience.  We would never try to “change your mind” on the issue of trust one way or another.  We are very upset that certain agencies responsible for water safety in this country, have proven themselves untrus...

Wise Bread Picks Mold is everywhere. It might even be hiding on everyday items that you didn't even think to check. With continued exposure, you can begin developing respiratory problems or allergic reactions. Where to Look for Mold Here's where mold might be lurking. Toys Recent findings of mold in children's sippy cups and teething toys have led to widespread panic among parents. However, most pediatricians agree that a small amount of mold exposure is usually okay for children, except if your baby has a mold allergy or an immune deficiency. However, your child's toys should be cleaned regularly so that they don't accumulate a significant amount of mold over time.

Children's toys, dog toys, and bath toys can become covered in mold. Mold can also grow inside of a squeaky toy or a...

Photo: wayfair.com The shower pan is an unsung hero in cramped bathing quarters that rely on a walk-in shower instead of a full-size bathtub. Its role? Protecting your subfloor from water damage by aiding drainage. This waterproof floor covering —often made of fiberglass, acrylic, or tile—slopes just enough to direct water toward the drain in the floor, thus eliminating most problems caused by lingering water, from mold and mildew growth to structural issues like wood rot. Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom to include a shower pan where none existed before or replacing one that’s seen its day, basic plumbing skills and a free weekend are all you need when learning how to install a shower pan. Why Switch to a Shower? Many homeowners choose a shower (and thus a shower pan, because you can’t have one without the other) over a bathtub when renovating in order to increase the available floor space and make the bathroom feel larger . Walk-in showers tend to be sleeker in style than boxy ...

When we clean our homes, we typically focus on the same major areas – the toilet seat, kitchen counter and bin under the sink, natch – but completely overlook others. These neglected nooks are hot spots for sickness-causing bacteria – and yet you may not even realise it. Prepare to be grossed out – #sorrynotsorry – before making good with these quick clean tips . 1. Pillows and quilts You clean your bed covers and cases, but how about the pillows and quilts? They’re breeding grounds for bacteria, fungal spores, bed bugs and dust mites, which produce droppings that can cause itchy eyes and asthma. Aim to clean them every two to three months at a temperature setting of at least 60 degrees. Then leave them to dry in sunlight to kill microorganisms.   2.

These toilet germs can travel up to six feet, surviving for two hours, settling on bathroom surfaces such...
