What Can Steam Mops Get Rid Of?


What Can Steam Mops Get Rid Of?


Aside from the usual dust, dirt, and debris, steam mops can also get rid of other unwanted stuff on your floors. These include:

Bacteria and germs: Even if your mop or washcloth has removed the visible dirt and dust from your floors, some unseen bacteria and germs are not as easy to get rid of. Fortunately, the extremely high temperatures of steam released by steam mops can kill bacteria and germs, leaving your floors not just clean on the surface, but also completely free from unwanted microorganisms that may even cause health problems.
Allergens: Advantage of steam mops is that they are excellent sanitizers and disinfectants, again because of the heat they produce. Thus, they can effectively eliminate dust mites, mold, mildew, and other allergens. They do this without the help of any harsh chemical. If you or some household members are prone to allergies, using a steam mop is a surer way of cleaning your floors.
H2O MOP X5 deodorizes sanitizes and increases cleaning power by converting water to steam. Find out more about this here : http://bit.ly/NQY0qK 

This brings us to this very valid question : 

What are the advantages of Steam Mops?


Effective: Steam mops may have a different configuration but they work just as effectively as the upright or canister type steam cleaners. The mechanism of action used by these machines is exactly the same. A steam mop produces hot steam that effectively dislodges dirt from the surface and picks them right up without a hassle.
Effortless to use: Investing in a steam mop means saying goodbye to all the crouching, scrubbing, and bucket-lifting that used to make up your floor cleaning tasks. Like a regular floor mop, they just need to be pushed along in front of you. And some steam mops even have adjustable handles, so if you shorten the handle, you can even clean your floors while sitting down. There is also no need to buy and use any form of detergent, bleach, or cleaning chemical since the heat produced by the machine is already an effective disinfectant.
Guaranteed dirt removal: When you use a floor mop, every time you soak your mop into a bucket, the water that you use becomes dirty. This is why sometimes, you would see unpleasant-looking streaks of dirt on your floors. A steam mop is free of that disadvantage. Thus, you only do your cleaning once. A steam mop guarantees that there is absolutely no need for do-overs.
Some of the benefits of the  H2O MOP X5 Steam Mop are that it can be used on multiple floor surfaces :

How to Get your Kids to Clean up!!!

Every Mother's Dreammmm Come TRUE!!!! 

Getting your children involved with daily cleanup is a great way  to teach responsibility and cleanliness  at a young age. Here are some tips to get your children to help clean up around the home.


Tip 1:  Invest in stackable storage boxes. Keep the children’s room easy to clean by keeping storage boxes and extra closet space around. Children will easily put things away when they know there is storage boxes . Also, Buy stackable storage boxes in different colors so it makes it easier to put toys, clothes and other items away in different color boxes.
Tip 2:  Make a fun game out of cleaning by putting on music to get your children moving to put things away. If you have two or more children you can always make a competition out of cleaning by using a timer. Whoever wins in the shortest amount of time gets a small reward.
Tip 3: Teach your children at young age. As soon as they can walk and pick up toys teach them how to put these toys back. Create a cleanup song and teach them to put the toys back in the bins where they belong. If you teach them at young age they will be able to carry this habit with them.
Tip 4: Make a schedule and stay consistent when children do not clean. Teach your children to make their beds in the morning after getting up and to pick up their toys and books in the evening before they go to bed. If your children resist your instructions to cleanup  you can always withdraw a reward or stop them from going out. Stay firm and consistent with your orders.
Tip 5: Be interesting with cleaning  at an early age. If your children can read then teach them how to alphabetize their bookcase and organize their study desk.
Tip 6: Get your children involved by simply asking the question “can you help me please?”  Children generally liked to be asked for help.
Tip 7: Children love to spray things, so get a small spray bottle and fill it up with some hot water and vinegar and have them spray down and wipe their toys, desk and furniture.  Diluted 50/50 water and vinegar is harmless to your furniture and children. Its a great way to get kids to wipe and clean up  their room.
Getting your children to tidy up around the home can be a little overwhelming especially if you haven’t instilled this habit from before.  If you have more than one child then assign cleaning tasks appropriate to their age.  A 3-4 year might clean up by dumping things in one container which is fine , but a 10 year old will learn that color coordinated  storage boxes are used for different things. Cleaning up with children can also be a great way to spend time together.

Love Your Lower Body in 4 Moves


SOME GREAAATTTTTTTT LOWER BODY SHAPING TIPS 

Leg Exercise 1: Lunges


Lunges work most of the muscles in your legs and buttocks with one simple exercise:

  1. Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and then take one giant step forward with your right foot.
  2. Place your hands on your hips for balance and then lower your body straight down until your back leg forms a right angle at the knee.
  3. Using your leg muscles, slowly raise yourself back up.
  4. Repeat the movement for three sets of 30 repetitions for each leg.
Tip: Remember to keep your upper body aligned over the knee that is bent and raise and lower slowly to get the maximum benefit.

If you have knee problems, modify this leg exercise by taking a smaller step forward and only drop down as far as is comfortable. While lunges are a fantastic toning exercise for legs, some people with knee problems may have to avoid lunging entirely. If so, plenty of other exercises strengthen the legs without placing too much stress on the knees.

Leg Exercise 2: Pliès


Pliès are one of the best ways to tone the inner and outer thighs and you can make the exercise as intense or moderate as you need.
  1. Stand with your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Take one small step out with each foot and then turn your feet outward like a duck.
  3. Place your hands on your hips or hold the back of a chair for support.
  4. Keeping you back straight, gently lower your entire body down about six inches and then raise it back up slowly.
  5. Repeat the movement for three sets of 30 repetitions.
Tip: When you move slowly without using momentum, the muscles must work harder, and they become stronger faster. You can modify pliès almost endlessly. You can drop down more or less depending on your needs, move your feet closer together or farther apart, or even work on your core muscles by holding one arm curved over your head and the other in front of your body a lá a ballet dancer.

If you want more challenge, do a full set of pliès, and on the thirtieth repetition, hold the lowered position for 15 seconds. After the 15 seconds, gently pulse your body up and down no more than a few inches for another 30 seconds.

Leg Exercise 3: Heel Raises


Heel raises work the calf muscles. Calves tend to respond to strengthening very quickly and gain definition in a matter of days, so this exercise can be rewarding for people who like fast results.
  1. Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. You may want to place your hands on your hips to help with balance.
  2. Raise your body up onto your tiptoes and hold it for a few seconds. Lower back down slowly.
  3. Repeat this leg exercise for three sets of 40 heel raises.
When you are ready for a bigger challenge, stand on a stair or sturdy elevated surface and let your heels hang off the edge. Slowly raise and lower your body for three sets of 25 repetitions. Use this exercise at work by taking the stairs and stepping only halfway onto the next step, forcing your calves to work harder.


Leg Exercise 4: Squats


Squats are a great exercise to firm and shape your buttocks and upper thighs.
  1. Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and arms by your sides.
  2. Keep an upright posture and slowly lower buttocks as though about to sit down in a chair. Lower several inches and then slowly stand up.
  3. Do three sets of 20 squats.
Tip: If you have knee pain with squats, lower your body only as far as you can without pain, or skip this exercise.

Leg Exercise 5: Lateral Raises


For the outer thighs:

  1. Begin with your weight on your left foot and your right foot pointed out at an angle.
  2. Hold on to a chair or wall for balance and slowly raise and lower your right leg out to the side. You don't have to lift your leg high; just raise it as far as is comfortable.
  3. Do at least 3 sets of 20 repetitions for each leg.
For the inner thighs:

  1. Stand again with your weight on your left foot.
  2. Raise and point your right foot in front of you.
  3. Slowly move your right foot and leg across your left leg. If you do not feel stress in your inner thigh, turn your leg so that the inner thigh is facing the ceiling and slowly sweep the leg back and forth across the other.
  4. Repeat for 3 sets of 20 repetitions for each leg.
Strong, healthy legs are worth the effort, and they respond quickly to exercise. Incorporate squats and lunges into random parts of your day – brushing your teeth, doing laundry, washing dishes – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how fast your legs shape up!

Get the Best out of your H2O MOP X5


Tips For Best Results:

Never leave the H2O MOP X5 unattended while plugged in.
1) Sweep or vacuum floor prior to using the H2O MOP X5.
2) To avoid puddling of water, the Microfiber Cloth must
be clean and dry for use. To replace the cleaning cloth,
proceed as follows: Let the cleaning cloth cool down,
remove cloth from unit, replace with a new Microfiber Cloth
and continue use. Select low steam regulator
position.
3) To sanitize an area of your floor, leave the H2O MOP X5
at high steam setting over the steam area for about 10 seconds,
but no longer than 15 seconds.
Do not carry out this procedure on heat and steam
sensitive floors.
  • Never steam at one spot for too long. This can cause floor surface damage.
  • Do not put hands or feet under the steam mop. Unit gets very hot.
  • During use a pulsing noise may be heard indicating that the mop is producing steam. This noise is normal.
  • There may be some minor “spitting” of water mixed with the steam. This is also normal.
  • The force and heat of the steam may adversely affect certain materials. Always check the suitability of using the steam mop on a surface by carrying out a preliminary test on a hidden area.

Care & Maintain your H2O MOP X5

After Care for your H2O MOP X5



  1. Unplug Power Cord from outlet.
  2. Allow Mop Pad/Cloths to cool down and carefully remove cleaning cloth from Mop Head, as cleaning cloth could still be hot.
  3. Any water remaining in the Water Tank should be emptied prior to appliance storage. Always empty the Water Tank at the end of each use.
  4. Let any water (that may remain as a product of condensation) drain from the steam opening prior to storing the appliance.
  5. Wrap Power Cord around Upper and Lower Cord Wrap.
  6. Wipe all surfaces of the H2O MOP X5 with a soft cloth. Store in a protected, dry area.
  7. Please store the unit in a cool and dry place when not in use. Do not leave it exposed to sunlight or rain.
  8. Upright storage of the H2O MOP X5 with a wet Mop Pad/Cloth may result in the formation of white marks on your floor. To remove the white marks, clean area with vinegar. Make sure to remove the Mop Pad/Cloth before storage.

SIMPLIFY ..... Decoded !!


SIMPLIFY......... Decoded !! 

 " In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." ~Henry David Thoreau




The tendency of life in our society is to become more complicated: Internet, television, shopping, work, family commitments, possessions, eating, debt … these things pile on top of each other endlessly.

This is a rather bad formula, as our days have a limited capacity, and so do we as humans. We can only do so much, only handle so many tasks and possessions and social commitments, and filling ourselves to those limits means we stress our breaking points.

It takes a bit of conscious effort to simplify, but it’s one of the greatest things.

Simplify everything !!!  
That might sound hard, but with practice it’s actually fairly easy, and leads to a quiet, content, lovely life full of space, with only the things in it that matter to most of us : my family, my laptop, my writing, with some reading and workouts thrown in.

So how do you simplify? As simply as possible.

Here are a few ways:
  1. Block off some disconnected time. The Internet is amazing, but always being connected means you’re always pulled in a thousand directions at once. It’s hard to focus, hard to connect with others, hard to get out into nature and be active. So schedule some time every day for disconnection: maybe a block in the morning where you get your best work done, and a block in the afternoon when you get out and active, or connect with friends or family.
  2. Start eliminating commitments. List your commitments, and pick one to eliminate today. It’s a simple matter of making a call or sending an email explaining that you can’t do the commitment. Trust me, they’ll find a way to live without you. You’ll start to free up time for what’s more important to you.
  3. Start purging possessions. Every day, find 5 things to donate or give to friends. Or clear an entire shelf or counter top, leaving only the things you actually use, getting rid of the rest. Slowly your possessions will be simplified to just the essentials.
  4. Ban shopping for 30 days. You can do this. Don’t buy anything except the essentials (food, toiletries, basic supplies).  If you think you really need it, put it on a list to be evaluated after the 30 days.... and by this we don's mean ban Online Shopping on www.televantage.in !!!! LOL 
  5. Wash your bowl. When you’re done eating, mindfully wash your bowl. When you’re done with anything, get in the habit of pausing before moving onto the next thing, and cleaning up after yourself. Put your food away. Put your clothes where they belong. Put your keys in one spot. Clean the sink before you leave it. This simple habit will keep you mindful while saving you lots of cleanup later
  6. Schedule time for what’s important. What’s most important to you? Your spouse or kids? Creating? Reading novels? Cooking, gardening, crafts, carpentry? Make the time for it.
  7. Get outdoors once a day. Too often we are stuck at a desk or on the couch. Get outside, take a walk, enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Go for a hike or a run with a friend. Play some sports. Run around and play tag with your kids. These simple activities will change your life.
  8. Eat some plants. Learn some simple recipes that incorporate super healthy foods you might not be eating: kale, spinach, broccoli, quinoa, berries, flax seeds, lentils, avocados, black beans, squash, raw almonds and walnuts, garlic, turmeric, cayenne, cinnamon. 
  9. Drink tea. Green tea brewed from relatively fresh whole tea leaves is calming, healthy, and wonderful. A daily tea ritual keeps you grounded and mindful.

Breast Cancer ALERT !!!


Breast Cancer ALERT !!! 



All Women MUST read This: 

* Wearing a wired bra over 12 hours daily dramatically increases breast cancer incidence.

* Bra-free women have about the same incidence of breast cancer as men.

* Those who wear a wired bra 18-24 hours daily have over 100 times greater incidence of breast cancer than do wirebra-free women. This link is 3-4 times greater than that between cigarettes and lung cancer!

(Source: Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras by Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer, Medical Anthropologists)


How exactly is it that bras can cause breast cancer?

Dr. Singer and Grismaijer explain:
“Our theory explaining these findings is that the bra, a wired elastic garment designed to alter breast shape, applies constant pressure to the soft breast tissue, compressing and constricting lymphatic vessels. 
Evidence of this constriction are the red marks and indentations in the skin left behind by the bra. 
Since the role of the lymphatics is to flush out toxins and debris from the tissues, impairment of lymphatic flow can lead to the toxification of the breast tissue. These toxins include endogenous toxins resulting from the consequent tissue hypoxia, as well as the exogenous toxins that contaminate our food, water and air in our petrochemically polluted world. Many of these toxins are carcinogenic. 
The bra concentrates these in the breast by preventing the lymphatics from flushing them away.
Of course, this means that the cause of breast cancer is not the bra, per se, but the toxins that the bra concentrates in the breast tissue due to lymphatic impairment. 
Interestingly, when you look at the worldwide statistics on breast cancer, it is clear that it is only a problem in cultures where bras are worn. No bras, and men and women have about the same low incidence of breast cancer. And the bra link also explains various breast cancer risk factors, as we discuss in Dressed To Kill. 
While more research is clearly needed to further study this link, we believe it is prudent medicine to recommend women abstain from bra wearing as a precaution. There is no reason for wearing a bra, apart from fashion. The human body was not designed with a flaw that requires modern lingerie for correction. Like the absurd and destructive fashion of foot binding in China, women in the West bind their breasts. “
When this research first came out back in 1995, I immediately stopped wearing a wired bra. After this research, I wore undershirts and camisoles instead.

Then as the years wore on, I started to wonder: Why am I ashamed of my nipples? Who decreed that even the outline of a nipple should never be shown?? So then I began eschewing the undershirts and just wearing a normal thin sports bra like camisole – ahhh, the comfort and freedom of it.

I must admit, it’s easy for me to go bra-free because I have small breasts. If I had large, heavy breasts, that hung to my belly button when bra-free, I imagine it would be much more difficult. But, I would still do it, except on special occasions. Because there’s another benefit to going bra-free, as Dr. Singer and Grismaijer relate:
“Then something happened that we had not foreseen. Some courageous women who had heard our message tried going wire bra-free and reported their experiences to us. Within weeks, if not days, most of these women experienced a profound change in their breast health. Breast pain and tenderness virtually ended. Cysts that had needed regular aspirations disappeared. We began to realize that fibrocystic breast disease, common in bra-wearing cultures, should be called “tight bra syndrome.
It all made perfect sense, of course. The wired bra was causing secondary lymphedema of the breasts due to constriction of the lymphatics. The accumulated fluid caused increased tissue pressure with associated pain and tenderness, and eventually developed into cysts. While the fibrous tissue that develops in long standing cysts takes more time to resolve, relieving the pressure by eliminating the bra allowed the cysts to drain, alleviating the pressure and discomfort.  
(This also explained why many women have breast myalgia near the time of their menstrual period. Estrogen levels are elevated at this time, increasing overall body fluid retention and increasing breast size. However, women typically wear the same size bra all month long, making it particularly tight at these times, increasing breat pain. Once under wire bra-free, this syndrome usually stops.) 
The results are fast, impressive and transformative. It was this link with fibrocystic breast disease that helped keep our bra-cancer theory alive. While it didn't prove the cancer connection, it did show that the wired bra was damaging the breasts, adding support to our claims. 
We then did a follow-up study to our first US study. This time we went to Fiji, where half the population is bra-free. We approached the Health Ministry and asked for their assistance. Once we told them our theory, they exclaimed, “That explains why our working women are now getting breast cancer! They are the ones who wear bras!” Over the next few months we went from village to village and obtained over 20 case histories of breast cancer. All were in women who wore bras. We found that, given women from the same village (genetically related), with the same diet, the ones who developed breast cancer were the ones who wore bras.”

Bra-Free Woman In Fiji

Since doctors Singer and Grismaijer published their research, there have been three Japanese studies confirming their findings. Why has the Japanese medical establishment picked up on Singer/Grismaijer’s research and furthered it, while the U.S. has ignored it? Follow the money, honey.

Until recently, Japan has been largely a non-bra wearing culture. However in the U.S., the bra industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise. And how many billions of dollars a year are spent on breast cancer research and treatment? it seems like every other month there’s some pink-ribbon run to raise funds for breast cancer in my town.
Is it hard to go bra-free? Heck yes! You don’t realize how screwed-up our culture is about breasts until you step outside the box. Take breastfeeding as one example: On the one hand you have every fashion magazine and most women walking around with their breasts pushed up, plumped out and on display as much as possible. 

Then you have a woman who tries to feed her child and she is barred from airplane flights, kicked out of restaurants and asked to leave stores (yes, these incidences have really happened).

So what can you do to make the transition to bra-free easier?
  • Start doing push-ups (do them against the wall to start with, then move to on the ground when you’re able) to build your pectoral muscles which support your breasts. These are “nature’s bra”. Even after breastfeeding 3 children, my breasts don’t sag very much because the musculature underneath and above the breast tissue is strong (okay, and because they’re not heavy).
  • Wear silk or elasten(nylon) or cotton camisoles, or tank tops (undershirts) instead of a bra. 
  • If you just can’t get your head round going bra-free in public, then go bra-free the second you walk in the door to your home, and only wear a bra when you go out. If this means you have to change in and out of your bra several times a day, do it.
  • Show the research to your husband, boyfriend and enlist his help and support in your endeavor.

Is your bra making you ill?


It isn't just about looks, a poor fit can cause 

back pain, indigestion and even headaches

But getting it right couldn't be easier.


Are you constantly pulling up your bra straps? Do your shoulders fall forward? Do your bosoms bounce when you walk, despite your new balcony bra with lace trim? The chances are you are among the majority of women who have never had a proper bra fitting, and whose posture and back health are compromised as a result.


Attitudes about bra fit and function vary by generation. Younger women are more likely to find that their bra doesn't fit properly because, in the good old days, pubescent girls were almost always fitted for bras. The idea of being fitted for a bra when I was 13 would have been gross, but everything looks different after my bra epiphany, which happened in Night Owls on the Fulham Road, in south-west London.

"Your bra doesn't fit properly!" the lady at the cash register shouted, as I checked out the pink flannel pyjamas. I pretended not to notice. "I bet you've never had a bra fitting in your life!" continued the voice. She marched over. I was wearing an expensive underwired bra, designed to give "lift". I had tried it on in the shop, but that was not, I was told, a proper fitting. "I bet your back strap's half way up your shoulder blades. Look at your posture! Your bust line is sinking!" My ear lobes, she said, were almost attached to my shoulders. I'd spent years compromising my breast and back health, apparently, and my bra was a load of "shite". I told her I'd always been a 36C. "Rubbish," she snorted. "You're a 30- or 32E."
This was a shock; I'd only come in for pyjamas. As chairman of the PTA, I did not want an E cup. It sounded huge, like Jordan.

All this is not just a matter of vanity. Last week, the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) warned that wearing the wrong bra size can lead to a number of problems, including back pain, restricted breathing, abrasions, breast pain and poor posture. The problems are even more acute in large-breasted women. "Bras are like suspension bridges," says the BCA's Tim Hutchful. "You need a well-engineered bra so your shoulders don't end up doing all the work. Bras that don't fit will affect the shoulders and chest, and will almost certainly cause back pain as you get older."

The woman prodding, pulling and hoiking introduced herself as Yolanda Ktori. A passionate advocate of corsetry, she has seen the profession clobbered by our smash-and-grab society. "Women buy bras off the shelf at M&S [though it does offer a fitting service], and don't have a clue what size they are. Some stores offer fittings, but most women don't bother." She pushed my shoulders down and pulled my blades back, showing me where the strap should sit: on the meaty part of the shoulder towards the neckline, locking in with the shoulders and streamlining down the back to stop slipping. "It's like the reins on a horse. You pull everything back, not forward," she says.

The corsetry experts at Rigby & Peller estimate that 80 per cent of women that come through their doors are wearing the wrong-sized bra, and also stress that badly fitting bras can lead to back problems and bad posture. The most common bra solecisms are cups that are too small and bands that are loose around the back causing the shoulders to carry the weight of the bosoms, instead of the back. A bra must be firm (not tight) around the back and support the weight of the breasts in the mid to lower back. Rigby & Peller says the back band should be level with the underwire (Ktori says an inch-and-a-half lower).

Jon-Morton Bell, an osteopath, agrees that properly fitting bras are key to back health. "Ladies have to do a balancing act with gravity," he says. "Proper support for the breasts has a huge impact on back health. The best place to support the breasts is through the lumbar (lower back), but often, women take the strain through the thoracic (around the ribcage), which can cause a curved back. If a woman is bending forward because of insufficient breast support, the trapezius overstretches and causes headaches. All nerve roots come from the back; stomach upsets and fatigue are common by-products of bad back health. If ladies have a proper bra-fitting, back problems are often resolved."

There are even those who have claimed that there is a link between underwired bras and breast cancer. 
In their book Dressed to Kill, Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer claim that the external pressure of the bra constricts the lymphatic vessels and prevents proper draining of the breast tissue, leading to fluid accumulation in the breast. Western rates of the disease are 10 times those of developing countries because, they tell us, women in the latter tend not to wear bras, let alone cleavage-heaving cross-your heart-and-hope-to-die wonder bras. They urge women to abandon bras and embrace freedom, but don't substantiate their claims with any supportive comparisons in diet, lifestyle or genetic history.
The metal in underwired bras is unpopular with acupuncturists as it crosses the body's meridians and blocks the flow of chi, they say, which can cause energy to stagnate. But breast cancer? Lynn Daly, from Cancer Research UK, says: "You would need to wear a bra that was painfully and unbearably tight to have any effect on your lymphatic system, but constriction or applying pressure to an area of the body does not cause normal cells to become cancerous."
"It's not rocket science," says Yolanda Ktori. "Saggy bosoms are bad for your back. Get a bra that fits properly. You wouldn't wear shoes that are too tight, would you? Women who have their bra fitted properly tell me it's changed their lives."

The wrong bra? How you can tell
Kate Horrell, fitting expert for the online lingerie shop figleaves.com, recommends looking closely in the mirror for the telltale signs that you're wearing the wrong bra size.

The underband is riding up

Lift up your arms to see whether the bra is tight enough. The underband should fit firmly against the body so that it does not slide about during normal activity.

The shoulder straps are digging in
The underband of a bra provides the majority (80 per cent) of support for the breasts, with the straps providing just 20 per cent. If the bra straps are digging in, it could be because the underband is too loose and you are over-adjusting the straps to feel supported. When you do this, the straps pull the bra up at the back, another sign that the band is too loose.

The centre fold is lifting away from the body
The centre front of the bra should lie flat against the body. If it doesn't, the cups could be too small.

The back band is overstretched

If your straps are too far apart at the back (they should be parallel), it may be that your bra band is too small and so is overstretching.
