No, no, I definitely clean my fridge every 2 weeks.
Really? Ours goes a full month sometimes.
How do you remove stains on the carpet?
Spray with vinegar-water solution and iron over a paper towel.

And from others a quest

The result being his wife’s elation!

So has a sealed fate
Perhaps we can ask the rest?
Ta, OJ! Others?
