Quick tip of the day

Microfiber rags are household heroes, especially when it comes to wiping down your electronics. Follow these tips to get the most out of yours:

  • Use them dry to pick up dust, then dampen them to clean fingerprints, smudges and stuck-on gunk.
  • Wet microfiber rags with white distilled vinegar to disinfect and sanitize surfaces.
  • Some microfiber cloths have a fluffy side and a flat side. The fluffy side is best for picking up dust, while the flat, scrubby side is best for removing stubborn dirt.
  • They’re simple to rinse but can be tossed into the washing machine occasionally.
  • Microfiber rags are also usable on car bodies, wooden surfaces and more.

🧽 Are your rags stained and worn? This 50-pack is available for around $20 right now.

Incognito mode doesn't do what you might think - Here's the truth

Incognito mode in your browser serves a purpose, but here’s what it doesn’t do: Make you invisible. Big Tech companies might want you to think it does, but don't be fooled. Your internet service provider can still see your activity, as can a school or employer providing your internet access or computer.
