Halloween is just around the corner, so it's time to carve some pumpkins if you haven't already. If you are wondering how to keep your Jack O Lantern Fresher for longer, here are some tips on how to do so...

  • After carving your pumpkin, clean out the inside by removing the guts and seeds.
  • Use about a tablespoon of bleach and a quart of water to kill off mold.
  • Use hairspray, olive oil or petroleum jelly on the cut surfaces to prevent from drying out.
  • Cut a hole in the bottom instead of the top to allow moisture to escape.
