Check Your Cleaning Products

Lots of cleaning wipes on the market say they kill viruses and bacteria on contact, but what about SARS-COV-2 specifically? When they say, "on contact" what does that really mean?

Here are some examples and how you can check your own products online.
Click this link to use the EPA's List N Tool: COVID-19 Disinfectants where you can type in the EPA Registration Number found on the package label of your cleaning product. It will most likely be in tiny print, so have your magnifying lens ready!

Apple Gift Cards

When you've been gifted an Apple Gift Card in a digital format like an email from a friend or from a third party like the one Apple uses for its Trade-In program, follow the instructions found on Apple's Help Topic page: Redeem your Apple Gift Card. In the case of Apple's current Trade-In processor, Phobio, they email you a "PIN" which a series of numbers containing spaces. Simply copy this "PIN" to a new note in your Notes app then delete the spaces between the numbers. Copy the modified "PIN" number into the text field where you're redeeming the code and the "Redeem" button text will now be accessible.
