Benefits of Handheld Showerheads

A handheld showerhead allows you to indulge in a little shower therapy and save water, too. Three billion gallons of water flow through showerheads every day in the US — half of it unnecessarily. Most showerheads use twice the water needed for a thorough, enjoyable shower. Both the water itself and the energy needed to heat the water cost you money. What can you do? You can convert your showerheads to low-flow models. This takes a few minutes and costs a few dollars. For an investment of $10 or less you can save up to $75 per year on water bills and up to $50 or more per year on energy bills. Every new showerhead should pay for itself the first year.

Hand-held showerhead models are more versatile and save more water because they direct the flow to where you want it. They also offer a slight energy savings because the water travels a shorter distance between the showerhead and your body, cooling less in the air, which means you can adjust the temperature slightly lower.

Most hand-held showerheads can be clipped onto a wall-mounted hanger, swivel or bar for hands-free showering. The flexible hose screws directly onto the shower arm, onto a diverter valve between a standard showerhead and the shower arm, or onto a deck-mounted diverter valve on a bathtub.

One of the main features of showerheads is the ability to adjust spray settings–narrow to wide, spray only, pulse and so forth. This is handy if different family members like different types of spray. The easiest types to use are those that have an adjustment ring or lever on the outside of the head–so you don’t have to reach into the center of the water stream to adjust them.

Most hand-held showerheads have no-clog spray channels for even distribution so you can enjoy a refreshing all-over soak, rinse, and shampoo-off more quickly by directing the showerhead right where it’s needed. You can also reach those hard-to-reach places with extra-long tangle-free hoses.

Kids love the tub but are often afraid of the shower for the lack of control they feel under the high, blasting showerhead. Using a hand-held showerhead allows you to adjust both the height and water-pressure for a kid-friendly, no-fuss rinse-off.

And you’ll enjoy these additional benefits:

– Thoroughly rinsing away dirt, soap and cleaning products from walls and tubs
– Washing mini-blinds
– Bathing pets
– Watering plants
– Installation is fast and simple

By replacing a standard shower head with a hand-held model, you not only get all the benefits of the hand-held but you can increase the height of the shower outlet by about 6-8 inches. For taller people, this means no more bending at the knees in order to rinse the shampoo from your hair.

Alpaca Sweaters – Cleaning and Storage Tips to Make Your Garment …

April 23rd, 2010

If you own an alpaca sweater, you recognize the quality and value of these unique types of apparel. Alpaca sweaters can literally last a lifetime with proper care. Here are a few simple tips you should follow…

Why Buy An Alpaca Sweater?

Alpaca sweaters are one of many accessories and garments made from the fleece of alpacas, a gentle and friendly animal with origins in South America. These environmentally friendly creatures are sheared annually, usually in the spring before warm weather arrives. Their durable yet silky soft fleece is then woven using minimal processing to create various apparel and home accessory items like sweaters, blankets, gloves, hats, and more.

If you already own one of these sweaters, you know how warm they are. They have been measured to be twice as warm as wool, but without the scratchy feel that sometimes irritates bare skin. And yet, as warm as alpaca sweaters are, they are also very breathable, making for a comfortable, consistent wearing experience. The durable fibers are woven to create warmth that is thorough but not constricting or stifling.

Two other reasons to own one of these sweaters are their durability and hypoallergenic properties. If wool, cotton, or other fibers irritate your skin, try alpaca. Their fibers are exceptionally smooth to the touch and naturally hypoallergenic. In terms of durability, it is not uncommon for alpaca items to be handed down from generation to generation. With proper care, they will last a lifetime and then some.

Cleaning Your Alpaca Sweater

The best way to clean your sweater is with a gentle, non abrasive soap or detergent, preferably non scented. Standard laundry detergents are harsh and can conflict with the hypoallergenic nature of the fiber. We recommend you use baby shampoo. It is just about the most gentle and natural cleaning agent you’ll find, and it leaves a pleasant scent.

To clean the sweater, fill a laundry tub or your utility sink with cool water. Add a cap full of baby shampoo and gently swish your garment in the soapy water. Just a few minutes is sufficient. Do not place your sweater in the dryer since you may experience shrinkage. Just drape it over a clothes rack or railing and allow it to air dry. Another method is to spread it out over beach towels and flip it over once or twice to let the air dry it in a few hours.

Storage Tips

If you need to store your sweater for months at a time, there are two methods we recommend. The best is in a cedar chest. In fact, we like storing any kind of garments in a cedar chest. The cedar imparts a fresh clean scent and moths and other insects are naturally repelled. Further, a cedar chest is an attractive accent to your home decor.

Another way is to store the garment in a sealed plastic bag. There is no hard in folding it to fit almost any size bag, but ideally store it alone, without other sweaters or garments within.

Summary

Alpaca sweaters are among the most durable you can buy. They will last for decades given proper care. Just follow these simple storage tips for cleaning and storage and you can expect it to last indefinitely.
