Clean Without a Ring

I love to take baths, but sometimes I don't have bubble bath. What I do is take a small amount of moisturizing dish liquid and pour it under the running water. Wow! You now have lots of bubbles and no ring is left around the tub.

Getting the Last Drop from Spray Bottles

Spray bottles with cleaning products, etc. tend to leave a good amount of product that you can't seem to spray out no matter how you turn or adjust the sprayer. Purchase a small pump spray bottle from the "trial/travel size" bin in your local drugstore or grocery store, and carefully pour the unused product in it. You will get your dollar's worth.

Protect your Counters and Table

Looking for an inexpensive hot pad to protect your counter or dining room table? Look no further than your local hardware store for a beautiful piece of slate. They can cost as little as $3.00 a piece, and you can pick a color that goes with your decor.

Only Use as Needed!

It drove my fiance nuts at first, but I have a habit of tearing just enough SCOTT Towel as needed. So instead of tearing along the perforation, I would leave a torn piece of a sheet hanging there. I didn't care what it looked like, it just felt good knowing I'm not wasting when I don't have to. SCOTT now has Choose-A-Size Towels that are perforated for smaller sheets, but I'm happy to 'perforate' them myself! :)

Keeping Lettuce Fresh

When you get a new head of lettuce, take it out of the wrapper & put it in a stainless steel bowl. I put a SCOTT Towel folded up in the bottom to stabilize it. Cover the bowl in plastic cling wrap and put it in the back of the refrigerator. It will stay fresh until the whole head is used up. My grandfather taught me this trick & it has saved me many wasted heads of lettuce. Only wash & use what you want when you need it & then put the head back in the bowl with the cling wrap. I've had heads of lettuce last a month this way.

Don't Run Out

I buy the largest SCOTT Tissue package I can purchase. With three bathrooms, I always make sure each one is stocked. That way, if you run out, and you are waiting for a sale, you can "borrow" from your other bathrooms and replace them later -- after you see a sale and you have coupons.

Kitchen and Bathroom Rugs

These days, the rubber on the corners and backs of kitchen and bath rugs seems to deteriorate/come off easily in the wash. On a nice sunny day, I put Gorilla Glue on the back of the frayed rubber and let it sit outside to dry. Once dry, you can even put it through the wash, and the glue still keeps the rubber together. It makes your carpets last longer!

Conserving Propane

I use propane for cooking and for my clothes dryer. With the price of propane so high, I hang my clothes in the basement under an open heat vent. I can hang my clothes at night and they are practically dry by morning!
