With feng shui, brooms, mops and any cleaning gear are considered bad luck. If they are used properly, they can sweep out the negative energy of the home or business. If they are not used properly, they can sweep away the good and positive auspicious energy of the home or business. Hence it is best to keep them out of sight after cleaning is done.
Do you know what a heat alarm is? It was only recently that I realised what the differences are between a smoke and heat alarm, after being introduced to it by the people at X-Sense, who make this wireless interlinked heat alarm.
Recently, I reviewed the X-Sense Wi-Fi smoke alarm and mentioned how inconvenient it is to have three separate smoke alarms that do not communicate with one another. I would not be able to hear the one in the annexe if it rings because it’s quite far from my bedroom in my main home. Now, that problem is solved with these wireless interlinked smoke and carbon monoxide alarms that can communicate with each other.
This X-Sense Wi-Fi smoke alarm is a smart gadget that will let you know what is going on in and around your home while you are away with the app notifications. It can notify your loved ones too. All you need to do is to add them via the smoke alarm’s Device Settings interface and select Device Sharing. Then enter the X-Sense accounts that you would like to share with.

Every homeowner has a list of things that they can’t stop worrying about. Whether it’s weather damage or fretting about whether today is the day that the oven finally gives up and stops working, you’re never going to be short of things to fret about on a sleepless night. It comes with the territory, but one of the best ways to help you feel a bit more secure is to conduct regular and thorough safety checks in and around your home.
You can’t prevent the unexpected happening, but you can identify problem areas and make sure that you stay on top of any foreseeable risks. Here are some of the most important safety checks that everyone should make.
When is the last time you checked your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm? Own up time – we checked ours a couple of times after we moved into our new house but haven’t checked our smoke alarm for a few years! Without a prompt or a reminder, it had not crossed my mind as it becomes inconspicuous. Also, we only installed our carbon monoxide alarm early last year due to our boiler broke down but we haven’t checked it since.
