6個(gè)小妙招讓你清涼一夏（雙語）

　　1. Bleach sanitizes pool toys

　　用漂白劑對(duì)游泳池的玩具進(jìn)行消毒

　　Dip a sponge into a mixture of two cups of bleach and one gallon of water, then wipe down pool noodles and beach balls. Scrub off grime with a brush, and rinse with water.

 

　　2. Vinegar brightens patio furniture

　　用醋清潔庭院家具，使之光亮如新

　　Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar, and spritz over chairs and tables to remove mildew stains and prevent mold from forming.

 

　　3. Coffee grounds banish ants

　　用咖啡渣來驅(qū)逐螞蟻

　　Sprinkle some grounds near doorways. Coffee’s high nitrogen content burns bugs, so they won’t walk across it and into your home.

 

　　4. Flip-flops become doorstops

　　讓人字拖卡住門

　　Cut a wedge of rubber from an old thong and use it to prop open a door and let the summer breeze in.

 

　　5. Dryer sheets repel bugs

　　除靜電紙也能驅(qū)逐蚊蟲

　　Keep sheets of this laundry staple in a cup outdoors—they mask the human scent that attracts mosquitoes.

 

　　6. Foil cleans the grill

　　用錫箔紙清潔燒烤架

　　While the coals are still red-hot, lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the grates and close the grill’s lid. The next time you grill, crumple up the foil and use it to scrub off the burned residue before you start cooking.
