Every time you empty a waste basket in bedrooms and bath or the garbage bin in the kitchen, put 2-3 new ones at the bottom of the container. This way you don't have to go looking for another bag whenever you need one.
My grandchildren love to practice scissor skills by cutting unwanted junk mail into shreds for me. They are the best energy source to shred and recycle.
We have several antique cars that we take to car shows. We keep a roll of SCOTT towels in each of them to freshen them up every morning after the dew. They are even soft enough for that. Fast and easy too!
When cleaning hummingbird feeders, we're supposed to avoid chemicals and they are to be cleaned regularly due to dangerous mold build-up. An easy way to wash out the inside of the bottle is to put in a SCOTT towel with a little plain water and swirl it around. Voila - it's clean!
When varnishing or painting, save time between coats by wrapping the brush in a SCOTT towel and putting it in the freezer until you're ready for the next coat. It saves cleaning and extends the life of the brush.
I hung a roll of paper towels in the front of the garage. When checking the oil in the car, it is so easy to just tear off a towel and toss it in the trash when finished rather than searching for a rag.
If you are painting over several days and need to dry out your rollers after cleaning so you don't have to keep buying new ones, try this. Once the rollers cleaned out, put them on top of your outdoor air conditioner unit and lay a rake over the top of them. The air flow blowing out will dry your rollers and the rake will allow them to be blown dry without being blown off the unit.
For years, I have made iced tea, almost on a daily basis. I always remove the tag or take the bag out of the packet and count the tea bags. When you're in a hurry, this takes time. Next time you purchase tea bags, remove bags right away and put 1/2 total tea bags on one side and the others on the other side, with the strings joining in the center. Tie the two bundles together and store in a canister. Then, when you're ready to make tea, just pull out the bundle and it's ready to use.
