Hate shredded tissues in washing machine

Mother taught me this years ago - did you know that Scott tissues are the only tissues that survive the washing machine without shredding into tiny bits all over your clean laundry? They are the only tisuues I buy, because I know they will come out in one piece if someone leaves one in a pocket and it goes through the wash undiscovered!

Washing Machine Odor

No need to buy anything to keep your washer from smelling. After you do a load of wash keep the door open or ajar until the inside is dry. My mother taught me this back in the 50's when she used her wringer washer.

fruit flies

I put a small amount of vinegar, plus a touch of honey and a touch of liquid dishwashing product together and mix well with spoon and it draws the fruit flies to it and kills them. It works!

Clean Flowing Sewer

The sewer man's statement: Scott Single Ply will disolve in your system. Others will remain as paper and clog your system.

Using large planters

I use packing peanuts in my very large planters for drainage. They don't disintegrate & no heavy stones, rocks or terracotta shards to weigh the planter down. Plus it's a way to get rid of those pesty little things.

Paper Towels / Coffee Filters

If you run out of coffee filters just use a folded Scott paper towel as a filter. Works great!

Save your cell phone

I keep my cell in it's own little pocket in my purse so it doesn't get scratched up & I add one of those little moisture packets in the pocket with it(the ones that are in purses when you buy them). I'm in S. FL and it gets very humid which is bad for cell batteries, so the packet keeps it dry!!

Lights Out Tips / Storms

Instead of using candles which can be hazards around children, purchase a battery operated lantern. They are safe and have two settings.
