A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then
%26gt;%26gt;slide a
%26gt;%26gt; knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed.
%26gt;%26gt; (hmmmmmm...)
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps
%26gt;%26gt;them
%26gt;%26gt; neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs
%26gt;%26gt;to.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and
%26gt;%26gt;put
%26gt;%26gt; Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They
%26gt;%26gt;won't
%26gt;%26gt; refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the
%26gt;%26gt;freezer for
%26gt;%26gt; a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside
%26gt;%26gt;down. The
%26gt;%26gt; wax will fall out.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ==================! ======== =======================
%26gt;%26gt; Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag,
%26gt;%26gt;dipped
%26gt;%26gt; in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease
%26gt;%26gt;that is!).
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt
%26gt;%26gt; BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a
%26gt;%26gt;pair of
%26gt;%26gt; scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to
%26gt;%26gt;throw
%26gt;%26gt; away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that
%26gt;%26gt;this would
%26gt;%26gt; be much more economical. Now a box of SO.S pads last me
%26gt;%26gt;indefinitely!
%26gt;%26gt; In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get 'sharpened'' this
%26gt;%26gt;way!
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little
%26gt;%26gt;hydrogen
%26gt;%26gt; peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood.
%26gt;%26gt; Works
%26gt;%26gt; every time! (Now, where to put the body?) LOL
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal
%26gt;%26gt; for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the
%26gt;%26gt;streaks.
%26gt;%26gt; Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't
%26gt;%26gt;wash windows
%26gt;%26gt; on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably
%26gt;%26gt;streak.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a
%26gt;%26gt;lovely
%26gt;%26gt; light scent in each room when the light is turned on.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes
%26gt;%26gt;will
%26gt;%26gt; smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this
%26gt;%26gt;with towels
%26gt;%26gt; and linen.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at
%26gt;%26gt;least 3
%26gt;%26gt; hours prior to burning.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and
%26gt;%26gt;add the
%26gt;%26gt; flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust
%26gt;%26gt;and dirt
%26gt;%26gt; and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a
%26gt;%26gt;charm!
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a
%26gt;%26gt;drop or
%26gt;%26gt; two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and
%26gt;%26gt;bring to
%26gt;%26gt; a boil on stove top.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring
%26gt;%26gt; in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator
%26gt;%26gt;and it will
%26gt;%26gt; keep for weeks.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt;%26amp;n bsp; When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help
%26gt;%26gt;bring out the
%26gt;%26gt; corn's natural sweetness
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; .=======================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on
%26gt;%26gt;your
%26gt;%26gt; forehead. The throbbing will go away.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes
%26gt;%26gt;for future
%26gt;%26gt; use in casseroles and sauces ......... Left over wine?
%26gt;%26gt;What's that? :)
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the
%26gt;%26gt;area
%26gt;%26gt; and you will experience instant relief.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Ants, ants, ants ! everywhe re ... Well, they are said to never
%26gt;%26gt;cross a chalk
%26gt;%26gt; line. So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or
%26gt;%26gt;wherever ants
%26gt;%26gt; tend to march. See for yourself.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and
%26gt;%26gt;better still,
%26gt;%26gt; leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before
%26gt;%26gt;resorting to
%26gt;%26gt; tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the
%26gt;%26gt;splinter, and
%26gt;%26gt; then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly
%26gt;%26gt;and easily.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; =====================================
%26gt;%26gt; Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer........
%26gt;%26gt; Clean a toilet.
%26gt;%26gt; Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and
%26gt;%26gt;flush.
%26gt;%26gt; The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Clean a vase.
%26gt;%26gt; To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill
%26gt;%26gt;with water
%26gt;%26gt; and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Polish jewelry.
%26gt;%26gt; Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse
%26gt;%26gt;the
%26gt;%26gt; jewelry for two minutes.

%26gt;%26gt; for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Unclog a drain.
%26gt;%26gt; Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets
%26gt;%26gt;down the
%26gt;%26gt; drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few
%26gt;%26gt;minutes,
%26gt;%26gt; and then run the hot water.
%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt; ========================================...
%26gt;%26gt; Do your friends a favor. Pass this timely (and some
%26gt;%26gt;not-so-timely)
%26gt;%26gt; information on to a friend! I just did.
%26gt;%26gt; Makes you wonder about ingesting Alka Seltzer, doesn't it?
%26gt;%26gt;
How many of these did you know about?

the dryer sheets in drawers and under couch cushions, Also using newspaper to clean glass leaves it as clear as new. Alot of these things are a surprise to me,but its great to know usefull things for around the house.
