Travel with Scott Towels

We always pack sheets of Scott Towels for airline trips (handy for spills, wiping off tray tables, use as napkins) and also for use in hotel rooms (cleaning the phones, remotes, etc.).

Keep Raccoons from Getting Your Birdseed

I live in the country and enjoy feeding and watching the birds. The raccoons enjoy eating the birds' food so that the birds do not really get any food. So I took a long piece of PVC pipe, put some hooks on it and painted it, then put it in the ground. The raccoons can only get the bird seed that falls on the ground. They cannot climb up the pipe because it's too slippery.

Reheating Biscuits and Muffins

To bring a dry, day-old biscuit or muffin back to life, take a Scott Towel, wet it thoroughly under the tap and wring out the excess water. Place the biscuit or muffin inside and wrap it up completely. Microwave just 10 seconds, and no more hard, dried-out items. Yum!

Emergency Matches

If you run out of matches, use an uncooked piece of spaghetti. Whole wheat pasta seems to burn longer. Just light it on the gas stove. It is especially great in lighting tall candles. (Thank you Rachael Ray!)

Be Prepared

I always keep Scott tissue in my truck. With two kids, you never know what will happen: rest stops without toilet paper, runny noses, a spill. I can always count on Scott tissue to get me through it. (Its compact size makes it travel-friendly too!)

Clean Fireplace Glass

This is amazing, and it only takes a minute. Wet a SCOTT Towel and dip it into the ash that's left in your fireplace. Then clean the glass with the ashes that are on your wet towel. Instant clean glass!

Tot Decor

Whenever your little one decides to decorate the walls, there a quick and easy solution. Take toothpaste and a damp SCOTT Towel. Smear a small amount of toothpaste on the artwork and use a little elbow grease to get the wall clean. Better yet, have your tot "clean" their mess to prevent future wall art. I've used this technique for years, and it has not failed me yet.

Stock Up!

After Thanksgiving dinner, make turkey stock and freeze it in ice cube trays. Save money all year long on expensive chicken stock, and only use the exact quantity you need!
