Fireproofing Drapes And Curtains – Why We Need To?
By Marat Madatov

Around the world today, one big problem that needs to be looked at is fireproofing. This is something that needs to be looked at and needs to be done, but too many people take it too lightly. Also, a lot of people do not take the time to really fireproof their homes or apartments. To many people that live in a home or an apartment, think that just because they have fire walls built into their homes that they are safe from fires. However, what are you going to do if the fire is started within your our home? The only thing that fire walls are going to do is to keep the fire in your apartment or home. Fire walls are only really helpful if the fire is trying to come into your home from the outside. That is why a lot of apartments have fire walls in between the apartment rooms, to make sure that if one goes down, they do not all go down. However, as said before, what good is that going to do you if the fire gets started from within?

Well, that is why it’s very important, in this day and age, to fireproof your drapes and curtains. It is stated that almost 50% of all household fires are started, because of curtains or drapes catching on fire. This is because they are usually made out of fabric that is very easy to catch on fire. Also, most drapes and curtains tend to hang down, usually over outlets and too close to tables and lamps. If the drapes are over an outlet and a spark hits a curtain, then it’s going to go up in flames. So what’s the problem if they are over lamps or tables? Well, if the drapes are over a table, this is the main spot where people like to put candles, and it’s very easy for a drape to fall into a candle by mistake. Also, keep in mind that the fire does not have to touch the drape to catch it on fire. If it’s just close enough, then the heat from the candle can catch it on fire. Also, lamps tend to get very hot, if a drape is to land on top of a lamp, or sit too close to one, then you are just asking for trouble.

This is why it’s very important to fireproof your drapes and curtains. This is something that does not cost a lot of money, and in the end, it could save you tons. The fact of the matter is, they make very inexpensive fire retardant out there for drapes and curtains. All you do is spray your drapes and curtains with these chemicals (usually outside to let it dry out), and then you are done. You can hang your curtains back up and not have to worry about them catching on fire. However, you should still keep them away from open flames. After all, fireproofing something does not mean that it can not catch on fire. It’s just less likely to catch on fire

Going Green and Not Gross In Your Apartment
By Jeff Swett

There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of tips out there to help Apartmentites live the green life. Yes, “going green” has become a very popular trend among Apartmentites that spreads across several different generations.

Naturally, how could anyone ever complain about a trend like this? It’s trendy, chic, and great for the environment. Not to mention it is helping us prolong our stay on this huge apartment we call the great, green Earth!

So I say: Go Green! People! Get as Green as you can. Be proud to be a greeny….just take a shower please. You can be green without being gross.

As always I have a few tips to help my fellow Apartmentites achieve great Greenness in their daily cleaning and become trendy as they do it. Here’s how to make cleaning Green

Candle Switching- If you are still burning old oil based paraffin candles, STOP. Switch it up and grab beeswax or soy candles. They burn cleaner and are in no danger of harming the environment. Best of all, they’re affordable.

Soap- Use all natural and organic soaps! It appears that many Green folk out there tend to just stop bathing and using soap all together. This is not the answer. Rather, pick up a nice smelling organic soap at virtually any grocery store and remember to bathe thyself daily.

All-Natural Cleaners- Stop using cleaning products that are filled with harmful chemicals that no one but scientists can pronounce. If you have baking soda, vinegar, and organic soap…you have everything you need to make all-natural cleaners. Baking soda can be used on animal messes, grease stains, and deodorize other tough to get out stains, while vinegar will help you get up the tea, coffee, and rust! Try cleaning the toilet or hardwood/tile floor with vinegar or shine up your small appliances and counters with baking soda. The soap always works well with water at getting out the simple dirt and grime.

sponge-tastic- Dump the old plasticy rubber sponges and use loofas or sea sponges to scrub-a-dub in the bath and beyond. You also want to replace using paper towels with fragments of an old flannel shirt-It’s washable!

Simple Green Cleaner- There are a wide variety of “green” cleaning products out there if you wish not to make your own. I suggest using Simple “Green All Purpose Cleaner.” It’s chemical free, biodegradable, and rocks the house!

There you have a few tips to help you clean up around the apartment, but stay consistent with being Green and helping the environment. You can do your part in helping preserve our beautiful world, one apartment at a time, but remember though, be Green, not Gross!
