If there is one place in a home that utilizes open flame, it is the kitchen. Hence the vulnerability to kitchen fires and some accidents.

Homeowners should be well versed on safety measures to avoid kitchen fires, as well as what to do in case it happens in the home.

Wikidee shared some tips on how to avoid grease fires.  MOLDS

“A kitchen grease fire can occur quite easily, and they are one of the most common causes of both kitchen fires and house fires in general. Kitchen grease fires occur when oil or grease that you are cooking with on the stove or even in the oven or grill becomes too hot. First the oil will begin to smoke, and then it will quickly catch fire. It can happen quickly, and it’s scary when it does. Unfortunately when a kitchen fire happens many people aren’t prepared on how to properly put them out, and you’ve only got a short window of time to deal with it yourself before it spreads so much that it would be unsafe for you to even attempt it.”

The Road to Domestication meantime tackled that one upholstered furniture in any home, that usually needs to get cleaned – the couch!

“The long fiber sofas are also very capricious when it’s time for cleaning. The long fibers are perfect to accumulate greater dirt, sand and dust particles at the base of the fibers.
