Tip # 1
Buy Gas
During The Week
During the week, gas is cheaper to buy
than on the weekend. And with the high
prices of gas, we need to save anyway we
can.
After chopping onions or garlic, the
smell gets on your hands and just won't
leave no matter how much you wash it.
A quick remedy to this: wet your hands
and get used coffee grounds, put some in
your hands and rub it all over your
hands and then wash!
The smell is gone!
Tip #2
Cleaning your microwave
Have
you ever tried to reheat food in
your microwave and been horrified at the
mess you found? Looks like food
exploded all over the place? Well,
here is an easy fix. Get a
microwave safe cooking dish and add
water. Set your microwave on 5
minutes, depending on your microwave you
may need to do more. Cook the
water until is boils and steams up the
microwave. Get a dish towel and
wipe clean. Then get another
clean towel with soap and water and
wipe it down to remove any smells.
Quick and easy and no chemicals!
Just the way we like it!
Trick #2
Removing Marker or Crayon
Have
marker on your wall or other hard
surface? When both my kids were small,
they would get those pens and markers
and always get to the walls, after using
this remedy, I don't worry about it
anymore. Use toothpaste!!!! Use white
toothpaste (not the gel type) put some
on your stain and in a circular motion
rub it, and it will come off!!! It won't
harm walls or other surfaces and it
keeps everything smelling clean!!! Also
works in the bathroom on stains on your
surfaces by the sink.
