Little Known Facts! Around the Home

by Molly Dibnum-Sioux City Pre-Intelligencer Columnist

A shout-out to our own Sarah Anchorage for today's fascinating Little Known Facts!

  • The adult human body contains about 5 quarts of blood.  An adult chimpanzee has only about 3 quarts.
  • If placed in a well-sealed vacuum bag, meat will last over two years in the freezer.
  • To remove pet hair from washable garments, add 1/2 cup of white distilled vinegar to your washer's rinse cycle.  This helps the fabric fibers relax and release the hair.
  • To clean and "freshen" your butcher block, use a solution of  1/2 cup peroxide, 1 cup water and a tablespoon of dish detergent. Scrub with a soft brush and let dry overnight.
 Kudos, Sarah!
