"Hartland Happening": Hartland Landfill Open House13 Sep 2008 - 09:30 13 Sep 2008 - 14:00 Etc/GMT-8 CRD presents the third annual Hartland Happening, an open house during which the public can tour the landfill and enjoy other fun family events. For more info, Cleaning MethodsAvoid extra work: follow the manufacturers' directions on cleaning supplies.If the label says one capful more won't be better-it will be harder to rinse off and more expensive.
Cover half the holes in a can of scouring powder with masking tape and the can will probably last longer.
To avoid redepositing dirt on the surface, always use a clean solution. Mix up a new bucket of cleaner and water as soon as the first bucket becomes moderately dirty.
