As some of us begin cleaning for Pesach, or in some cases begin finishing cleaning, I would like to provide a few helpful safety tips:

Please be sure to remove the electrical cord from the wall socket before disassembling your washing machine to check the motor for Chametz. The same goes for the dryer.

In addition, when performing Hagalah on your couch, make sure there are no batteries hidden beneath the cushions – although some opinions maintain that the resulting current may assist in the cleaning process.

While performing Libun Gamur on the windows of the house which face East, as is customary these days, make sure not to touch the surface of the glass before allowing it to cool. If you notice the glass putting on it’s Oakley Shades and getting on a Harley, that’s usually a clear sign that it’s cool.

Last, but definitely not least, when removing your water pipes to check for the remains of that leftover slice of pizza from last Motzei Pesach, be sure to remember which screws go where – so that you don’t have the same issue you had when you tried to build your Sukkah last year.

I’m sure this has been an invaluable safety tutorial on the dangers of cleaning for Pesach, so just keep this all in mind and you should be good to go. So, nu, go, what are you waiting for? ,
