No Stress, No Mess

Hello Space Invaders,

Ever wonder why your house is messy. I found from personal experience that it has a lot do with post- breakups. I know, I know, this is not based on some study. A lot of you humanoids get sloppy after a bad break-up. After a few months, you continue to be sloppy and stop caring.

Some of you don't remember the last time you were neat or organized ( yes there is a difference ladies and gentleman). Some of you don't even remember being clean at all ( most of you guys never were, lol) .

Here are some tips to moving on and getting better!

1) Find his or her pictures and burn them into the infinite abyss: that's right! I said burn. Well, metaphorically speaking. I mean take all of their stuff and throw it away. Even letters and pictures. You start to feel like the house is getting lighter.

2) Buy a new bedding: I really cannot stress this enough. Vibes of the old relationship in the sheets is not good for sleep. And anyway, it was time for new sheets.

3) Take St. Johns Worts ! The pills are awesome for healing your depressive state. It comes from a plant called hypericum and the properties in that plant are known to treat mild depression. You can also take it in tea form as well. This will relax you. ( St. John's Wort is also known to decrease alcohol intake because of another property found in the plant called hyperforin).

4. Give your apartment a gift: Your apartment is your keeper. It has witnessed every relationship you had been through. Treat it like you would treat a friend. Remember the day you moved in? It's called an anniversary! Give your apartment a nice vase, a cool picture frame, an expensive candle holder, and/ or cool magnets when that day arrives (after the lease is signed).

5) A cleaner you say?: Yes, a cleaner. Getting one after you accomplished 1-4 will help you stay focus on your road to redemption. Who else will know the situation better than Rocket Maid?

I hope you space invaders treat the planet earth good today! Remember recycle :)

Don Imus's Wife Started Eco- Friendly Cleaning Products

Dear Space Invaders,

I do not like Don Imus. Not only
because he's a racist putz, but because his radio show was boring.

Then I tried Imus's Cleaning the Greening products. The product is really good, especially on granite and glass. The Imus name did not ring a bell at all. I just never figured that Don Imus would care about the environment and assumed it was another person with the Imus name. Then with some research, I found out it was his wife, Deirdre Imus, who established the "Cleaning the Greening" products and programs. She believes that the dangerous chemicals in cleaning products causes illnesses, such as cancer, in children and adults. (She is the founder of the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology)

A more controversial issue is the debate over vaccinations. A survey conducted by Generation Rescue shows how children who have vaccinations early, risk having "neurological disorders" vs. children that don't vaccinate early. Read more at http://www.dienviro.com. I assure you, it's an interesting read.

What a dilemma Rocket Maid must face, should I use this product. Well, the good news is that there are plenty of green cleaning products that I can choose from.

Galaxy Enemy #1

See Them? This the deadliest army that enemy dirt has concocted. When they see the Rocket Maid crew, they not only hide, they die!

What are tips that you can do at home to get started in the fight against the Dust Mite Army .

1. Dust mites generally live and breed in your pillows. Replace them every six months. People who have acne should replace their pillow case every 2 days so that they can begin healing their skin. Dust mites live inside your pillows and feed off your dead skin cells.

2. Please buy mattress encasings. They prevent from dust mite allergens. They also prevent the dust mite's evil cousin, bed bugs inside your bed. They also make encasings for pillows as well.

3.Your pets carry dander that attracts dust mites. Please wash your pets every week. Pick a day and stick with it, that way your pet knows after a couple months that it's routine. Cats carry more dander than dogs. If your cat can't stand the water at all, please buy moist packets that is used specifically for washing cat's fur. If people are allergic to cats and/or dogs, it's the dander, and it usually connects to dust mites that feed off the dander and humans get an allergic reaction from them, not animals.

4.Buy HEPA filter vacuums that won't let dust particles escape through the back of the vacuum. The two vacuums in the market that claim to be superior machines are Miele ($700) and Nilfisk ($1,095).

(I am dying to buy the Nilfisk vacuum).

5. You can buy an air filter. Please make sure that your house is clean before operating an air filter so that allergens don't roam around your apartment. It's also good for people who are allergic to animals.

Dust mites are very small (microscopic). But that being said, they can be harmful to your lungs and cause asthma. Washing your sheets once a week and putting it in the dryer over 150 degrees will destroy them all. Your skin will no longer itch anymore. For people who have adult acne, watch it go away.

So if you suspect The Dust Mite Army invading your space, call Rocket Maid. A once- a - week cleaning is a permanent solution to killing them off for good.
