Lost No More

I'm sure u all have lost contacts on bathroom floor, or dropped something down in couch. Well now u can 4get crying & get your pantyhose or knee highs & place over the end of your vaccum cleaners hose & wrap rubber band around it tightly holding the pantyhose in place & turn it on & now it won't go into the vaccum bag & be lost 4ever. You will see it when u suck it up & turn vaccum off & retrieve very easily. My daughter likes treasure hunting using this tip with car/truck & seeing how much loose change she can gather up for her piggy bank. Also good for behind dressers, under beds, etc....

cleaning up a big puddle of water

I had a big water puddle in the basement. Using a sponge mop was too slow so I cut the elastic on a couple disposable diapers, put them face down in the puddle and VOILA no more water, and they didn't drip!

Road trip Catch up

When on a road trip as a passenger, use your time to catch up on those "forgotten" tasks... file your nails, pluck your eyebrows, clean out your wallet, purse or diaper bag, tidy & dust what you can reach of your vehicle. I keep a roll of Scott towels , some wet wipes, a nail file and tweezers in the front of my vehicle for this purpose.

Cleaning Silverware

Put a small amount of powder bleach cleanser with bleach on your finger and apply it to your silverware and the tarnish will come off with very little effort. It is the fastest and easiest method I have found.

Keep Paint Brushes and Rollers from Drying Out

When you're finished painting for the day, wrap your brushes and rollers in any brand clear plastic wrap overnight, and you can pick up painting the next day where you left off.

Cleaning up Raw Eggs

Have you ever dropped a raw egg on the floor, then tried to wipe up the mess? Here's a trick to make it easier. Sprinkle table salt over the entire egg and let it sit for a few hours. The slime will be gone and you can clean it right up.
