Here are 5 things you should know.
1. Clorox wipes are NOT flushable.
With all the madness trying to disinfect everything a large number of people will start using Clorox wipes. They will not break down like toilet paper. They will snag and ball up causing your sewer line to be clogged.
2. You have rights when it comes to debt collectors. Just because you owe money does not mean you have to accept abuse.
Here is a good resource from the US FTC on what your rights are.
Here is a similar resource for Germany

This is a general one for the EU but remember it might be different by individual countries
3. Mixing bleach with other cleaning chemicals such as toilet bowl cleaners, vinegar, ammonia (like glass and window cleaners) and others can be exceptionally dangerous and can lead to injury or death even with short exposure.
If you are using bleach to clean and start experiencing respiratory trouble or discomfort, vent and leave the area immediately. This can be a symptom of chlorine gas exposure, a byproduct of mixing or heating bleach.
Why?: Sodium Hypochlorite is the active ingredient in chlorine bleach. It is found in household bleach and many other disinfectants. Sodium hypochlorite reacts with ammonia, drain cleaners, and other acids. Many household products state that they contain bleach on the label.
A Tragic example demonstrating this.
4. Free tax filing has been mandated by the US Government if you make under $66,000/year.
Tax services like TurboTax have made it more difficult to find the “free file” option, often charging almost $100 just to file. But if you make less than $66,000 per year you qualify for free tax filing according to the IRS.
You can google “free file [tax service]”, just googling your preferred tax service likely won’t bring up the right website.
If you’ve already filed and weren’t able to find the free file option, you might qualify for a refund.
