Use scissors to cut the stems just above a leaf or leaves. Pull large-leaf herbs from their stalks before drying. Leave small-leaf and feathery herbs on their stalks until after they dry. Limit your harvest to one herb at a time."
article: How the herbs taste will depend on when you cut them from the plant. You will get the best flavor while the herbs are still tender, which you can feel with your fingers. If the herb is flowering, this will be just before the buds open.  You can still dry herbs that have flowered, but the taste will be bitter.  This process works for all herbs. If your herbs have already flowered, you can deadhead the flowers. This will allow more leaves to grow, which you can harvest and dry. A sunny day is the best time to cut your crop because the herbs will be dryer. The more moisture that remains on the herbs, the harder it is to dry them. It’s best to wait until mid-morning, as the dew should be gone by then. You can use regular sharp scissors or small pruning shears. Place the cut herbs into a jar of fresh water until you’ve completed the harvest. Leave at least 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of stem for the plant’s regrowth. This includes herbs like sage, basil or mint. If it’s easy to hold just the leaf, then it’s best to remove them from the stalk before drying. You can also cut the leaves from the stalk with your sharp scissors, but this will be more time consuming. This includes herbs like fennel, dill, and rosemary. While these herbs will eventually be removed from their stalks in most cases, its best to wait until after they are dry as the stalks make them easier to handle. Additionally, some dishes may look better with these herbs still on the stalk. It’s easy to mix herbs together or ruin the flavors of the herbs by drying them together. To protect the flavor, only dry one herb at a time.

article: Vinegar’s acidic nature helps disinfect and remove stains, and can also remove unpleasant smells, such as mold mildew, and body odor. If your whites have been overtaken by poor smells, vinegar is the best option to remove them. All it takes is between 1 tablespoon and ¼ cup poured directly into the wash basin or detergent reservoir. Do not overdo vinegar use; because vinegar is acidic, too much can cause damage to your clothes over time. Lemon juice is an all-natural bleaching agent. You can use lemon essential oil, pre-squeezed lemon juice, or juice directly from a lemon. If you juice your own lemons, be sure to strain the juice through cheesecloth or a thin strainer to prevent getting lemon residue on your clothes.  If you are using lemon juice, you can place the juice of two lemons in a bowl or tub with one gallon of warm water and allow them to soak for 30-60 minutes. If you are using lemon essential oil, simply place 2-3 drops directly into the wash bin. To remove stains, you can make a paste with baking soda and warm water, then apply this mixture directly to the stain using a toothbrush or clothes brush. Allow the stain to soak in the mixture for 10-15 minutes before running it under warm water. This treatment is gentle enough that it can be done multiple times to get rid of a stubborn stain. However, be sure to thoroughly rinse the clothing item between each soak, as leaving baking soda in place can cause clothes to become brittle. Peroxide is an excellent, safe way to get tough stains out of clothes. Peroxide is particularly useful for removing blood and other dark, hard-to-lift stains. Once you have pretreated a stain, place the stained or discolored item in a tub filled with hot water and peroxide. Peroxide disinfects and cleans, and provides a safer alternative to bleach. Peroxide is used as an alternative to bleach for a reason: it acts as a bleaching agent, not merely a brightening or cleaning agent. Do not use peroxide on clothes you not wish to whiten. Although bleach is useful in disinfecting and whitening clothing items, there is some doubt as to how safe it is for use. Being a harsh chemical, bleach can begin to break down the fibers in a given fabric, weakening it and causing tears. If you do decide to use bleach on your whites, be sure to store it away from the reach of children and pets, and away from fire hazards such as the stove or dryer.
