Why Your Bathroom Desperately Needs Cleaning Now
Summer is in full swing. Between vacations, pool and beach trips, keeping your bathroom clean can feel like an impossible task. It's a room that's used every day, but knowing where to start can be a chore in itself. Cleaning may not be the most exciting thing for everyone to do, but your bathroom is one of the rooms you should regularly spruce up. This will help eliminate and limit the amount of germs and bacteria from festering in your home. It doesn't matter if your powder room is long overdue for a deep clean or if you're just curious about a cleaning cadence; we will provide you with insight. Whether scrubbing your toilet or degunking your shower head, this guide makes freshening up your restroom easy and simple.

Wash it on the gentle cycle in warm water and let it air dry (especially if it has a no-slip grip on the back) before putting it back in place. If you're unsure, always follow the washing instructions on the tag. Toilet David Watsky/CNET If you live alone, you can probably get by cleaning the toilet every few days. If you have kids, the rules change. The outside, handle and seat should get a once-a-day wipedown with an antibacterial cleaner or wipe. Most families can get by with cleaning the bowl once a week, particularly if you use this toilet tank tip. If you have tough stains or gunk in your toilet bowl, we advise pouring Coke (yes, the soda) into a spray bottle and then saturating the stain with the drink. Let it sit for a few hours. You can then easily scrub away the stain with a toilet brush. Shower curtain Once a month, you should take down your fabric or plastic shower curtain and throw it in the wash. Here are five tips for cleaning your shower curtain in the washing machine. Shower and tub You only need to clean your shower and tub once a week, but if you have a glass shower door, it needs a little more attention. To prevent the build-up of soap scum and keep the glass looking spotless, use a squeegee to wipe away water after every shower. These few seconds can save you from scrubbing at the end of the week. Bath towels Josh Miller/CNET My family has had this debate for years. How often should you wash bath towels? Well, it depends. Every three to four uses is a good rule of thumb, but there are some conditions where a towel should be washed after one use. Here's how to know when to wash your towels. Sink The germs from your hands collect on the sink knobs and in the sink bowl when you wash your hands. So, even if you live alone, the sink needs a good wipe down every day with an all-purpose cleaner or antibacterial cleaning wipe. Mirror Like the sink, the mirror needs a daily wipe down to remove lint, dust and toothpaste specks. Simply wipe it down with a microfiber cloth after you step out of the bath or shower. Hair dryer Yes, even your hair dryer needs a proper cleaning schedule to prevent it from overheating. Here's a simple way to clean a hair dryer in just a few minutes. More cleaning tips and tricks

5 ChatGPT Prompts To Become The Go-To Expert In Your Niche Overnight
5 ChatGPT prompts to become the go-to expert in your niche overnight Nobody gives you authority. You earn it by being clear, consistent and useful. Most people stay general because they're scared to own their edge. But playing safe keeps you invisible while your dream clients are looking for someone who actually gets them. What if you could position yourself as the obvious expert by tomorrow morning? Stop trying to appeal to everyone and start speaking directly to the people who need exactly what you offer. The difference between forgettable and unforgettable is specificity, and these prompts can help. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through. Use ChatGPT to claim your expert status If you don't claim your niche, someone else will. Most people describe their audience in vague terms like "entrepreneurs" or "busy professionals." That's not an audience. That's a category. Get laser focused on exactly who you serve. Name them, know their specific struggles, understand what keeps them up at night. The clearer you are about who you help, the easier it becomes for them to find you. Make yourself the obvious choice by being impossibly specific. "Based on what you know about me and my business, help me define my exact target audience in 10 words or fewer. Ask me clarifying questions about who I've helped most successfully, what transformations I create, and what specific problems I solve. Then create three versions of my audience definition, each more specific than the last. End with the most focused 10-word description that makes it crystal clear who I serve." Your audience doesn't buy what they need. They buy what they think they need. There's always a gap between the actual problem and what they believe the solution looks like. The experts who win understand both sides. They speak to what clients think they want while delivering what actually works. Stop guessing what matters to your people. Let them tell you exactly where they're stuck, then position yourself as the bridge between their current reality and their desired outcome. "Based on what you know about my target audience from our previous discussion, list the top 5 problems they face in their own words. For each problem, identify: 1) What they think they need to solve it, 2) What they actually need, 3) Why there's a gap between the two. Then suggest how I can position myself as the expert who understands both their perceived and real needs. Ask for more detail if required." Content without structure doesn't serve anyone. The go-to experts don't post randomly hoping something sticks. They build authority through consistent themes that showcase their expertise from every angle. Pick the areas where your knowledge runs deepest and your passion is the highest. These become your lanes. Stay in them. Own them. Let everyone else spread themselves thin while you go deep. "Based on our conversation about my audience and their problems, create 3 content pillars that position me as the authority on solving their challenges. For each pillar: 1) Name it in 3-5 words, 2) List 5 specific topics I could cover within it, 3) Explain how it showcases my unique expertise. Make sure these pillars work together to create a complete picture of my authority in my niche." Playing it safe is playing to lose. Every expert has a perspective that goes against conventional wisdom. What's yours? The thing you believe that makes other people in your industry uncomfortable is your edge. When you take a stand, you give people something to remember. Some will disagree. Good. You're not trying to be liked by everyone. You're positioning yourself as the expert for your specific people. Say what others won't. Become unforgettable. "Based on what you know about me and my industry views, help me craft my boldest take on the industry I serve. First, identify 3-5 conventional wisdoms in my field that I disagree with. For each one, help me articulate why the common approach is wrong and what I believe instead. Then combine these into one powerful, tweet-length statement (280 characters or fewer) that captures my contrarian perspective. Make it memorable and slightly provocative." Not theory. Not possibility. People follow experts who deliver results. Actual transformation. Your signature solution shows exactly how you take someone from stuck to successful. Make it concrete, make it quick, make it yours. Demonstrate competence through a clear process that only you deliver in your unique way. When someone can picture exactly how you'll help them, buying becomes the obvious next step. "Based on everything we've discussed about my audience, their problems, and my expertise, help me create a digital guide I can give to prospects or use as a lead magnet. It is titled 'How I'd solve [their main problem] in 7 days.' Structure it as: Day 1-7 with specific actions for each day. Make it practical and achievable while showcasing my unique approach. Include unexpected elements that only someone with my specific expertise would suggest. End with what they can expect by day 8 if they follow this plan." Build authority with strategic positioning: become the go-to expert People follow experts who speak with conviction. The ones who know exactly who they serve and aren't afraid to take a stand. Define your exact audience in ten words or fewer. Map the problems they think they have versus what they actually need. Build three content pillars that showcase your deepest expertise. Write the industry hot take that others are too scared to say. Create a signature solution that demonstrates exactly how you deliver transformation. Your dream clients are looking for the expert who gets them. Stop making them search. Make yourself known. Access all my best ChatGPT content prompts.
