Nail polish remover is a medicine cabinet staple that many always have on hand. Acetone is the main ingredient in many nail polish removers, but its uses extend far beyond taking off chipped nail varnish. Acetone is a versatile household chemical that can come in handy for everything from removing sticky residue to erasing scuff marks from your floors.

Affordable and easy to find, acetone has plenty of pros—but it can also cause damage if used incorrectly. In fact, before you begin using acetone for any use besides removing nail polish, be sure to perform a spot test first, cautions lifestyle expert and author Julie Edelman.

Tips

The drain is blocked. You pour drain cleaner down the pipes to unclog it. Then, nothing seems to happen so you pour bleach down the drain, too. The more chemicals, the better for removing the blockage, right? Wrong. Mixing chemicals together can have adverse reactions and negative consequences for your health and home. You don't want to create a science lab in your home with bad experiments causing havoc. Combining drain cleaner and bleach creates toxic fumes.

We spoke to two house cleaning experts about why mixing drain cleaner and bleach is dangerous, the harmful gas it produces, what can happen, and why you should only rely on one cleaner or method.

Most kitchens have a designated drawer or area for kitchen towels. They handle multiple tasks, such as drying dishes, wiping down the counters, cleaning up spills, drying your hands, or even as a substitute pot holder. Towels are essential, no matter if you cook daily or infrequently, to keep the kitchen clean.

There are different sizes, materials, and styles of towels to use for specific kitchen tasks. A towel is a towel, right? It's nuanced. "Just as there are different cutting boards for raw poultry, fish, and meat; cooked meats; veggies and fruits; and items such as bread, the same holds true with kitchen towels," says Julie Edelman, author of The Accidental Housewife, based in Florida.
