Kill Ninety-nine percent of bacteria. A recently published scientific study indicated that to effectively clean & deodorise any surface (countertops, cutting boards, toothbrushes, even fruit & veges) keep two spray bottles – 1 with hydrogen peroxide and one with white vinegar (hydrogen peroxide cannot be mixed as it loses its efficacy and also need to be kept in a dark/coloured bottle)
Spray one then the other over it (doesn’t matter which one first) and wipe. The study indicated that this combination kills 99% of all known bacteria and is 10 times more effective that either one used alone. -- Lyndis Zirbel (Down Under)
The easy way to tear paper:- Ever had to tear a piece of paper in a straight line? It's very simple - fold the paper where you want to tear it, then run your wet tongue along the fold. Leave for a few seconds then tear - it comes apart at the fold very cleanly. How? - paper is largely cellulose and saliva breaks up its molecular structure. -- David Phillips New Zealand
