30 Things People Found In Their Houses While Quarantine-Cleaning And Decided To Share Online
It's just like Mary Poppins taught us: "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and – snap! – the job's a game."
Maybe these words won't make you jump for joy at scrubbing your toilet, but cleaning your home can be just as exciting as having your home clean. With a little bit of luck, for example, you can discover things you didn't even remember you had. I mean, just look at the treasures people who have already begun their spring cleaning have found within their four walls. From a Blockbuster membership card to an old Game Boy Advance, these antiques definitely made their chores worthwhile.

It's a good idea to keep your home healthy during the coronavirus crisis. For starters, understand there's a difference between cleaning and disinfecting. According to Natasha Bhuyan, M.D., regional medical director at One Medical, "Cleaning is the removal of germs or dirt from the surface. This doesn't kill pathogens, it often just wipes them away—but it still lowers the spread of infection." Think vacuuming carpets, mopping floors, wiping countertops, dusting, etc.

Disinfection, on the other hand, is something more ruthless. It's the using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. "Use CDC-approved disinfectants to target surfaces that have an increased amount of contacts such as doorknobs, handles, light switches, remotes, toilets, desks, chairs, sinks, and countertops," Dr. Bhuyan told Shape.
"The coronavirus is effectively destroyed by almost any household cleaner or simple soap and water," said Zimmerman, Daniel Zimmerman, Ph.D., senior vice president of research of cellular immunology at biotechnology company CEL-SCI Corporation. There are, however, a few materials the government is recommending specifically for the coronavirus pandemic. For example, the EPA released a list of recommended disinfectants to use against the novel coronavirus. But "pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions on how long the product should remain on the surface," Dr. Bhuyan said.

Dr. Bhuyan also added it can be a good idea to have a look at the American Chemistry Council's (ACC) Center for Biocide Chemistries' (CBC) list of cleaning supplies to fight the coronavirus, in addition to the CDC's home cleaning guide.
Some essentials to include in your coronavirus cleaning list are Clorox bleach; Lysol sprays and toilet bowl cleaners, and Purell disinfectant wipes.

I still miss getting letters and writing them too. An e-mail is not the same thing. There's a lot more thought that goes into writing a letter by hand and it is much more personal. I have several boxes full of them and some are true gems, like the aerogram that found me in a different country in the spring after having spent the winter stuck on a thorn of one of the rosebushes in my parents' garden right next to the wall of their house. The aerogram is pierced through, all my mum's roses were red and, yes, it was a love letter. Precious!

They should make for some good reading—-and give you a glimpse into your parents as young adults (we never think of our parents as having been young). You might co e to understand them more deeply. However, it’s a good idea to ask them if it’s OK to read the letters first (think about it; would you want your kids reading some of the things you wrote to your main squeeze when you were younger?).

Wiki states it starts 1981 onwards, and even then it says a more accurate term for kids post Gen X but pre-Millennial is Xennials and I tend to agree. I was born in the 80s and the term 'Millennial' wasn't really widely used back then. I know it was coined in the 80s but I was online all the time in 98 and I never heard it. It was all 'Gen X this' back then. I've only heard Millennial bandied about for the past 10 years or so, mostly to refer to people younger than me.

I've been sorting boxes of books to sell...when we ever get out of quarantine and have a yard sale. That's seeming remote right now.

Sweet! I love used books! Let me know when you have a yard sale. By the time quarantine is over, I'll be willing to take a road trip.

I've moved so often, I'm never going to find a forgotten treasure anywhere.

You might find someone else's forgotten treasures.
