Removing Wallpaper

To remove wallpaper and border mix half water half fabric softner in a spray bottle. Spray on generously, and let sit for a few minutes. Use plastic or metal scraper and it will peel off the wall like magic, and make your house smell fresh.

Thank You Notes

Sending invitations? Address the thank you notes when addressing the invitations. Stamp the envelopes and your guest of honor is ready to send thank you notes. This is nicer than asking guests to address their own "thank-you's," which Dear Abby says is tacky.

Save Time

I installed paper towel holders next to the sink, stove and a stand up on kitchen table. Keeps Scott towels handy everywhere I need them.

Wastbasket liners

Place multiple wastebasket/garbage can liners in the bottom of the container. The next one will be there when you remove the filled bag.

No Stick Here

When replacing an inspection or registration sticker on your car's windshield, just wipe the edges of the old sticker with oil (olive, veggie, etc.), let it sit for a minute, then peel away. Clean the window with a little Windex and you're ready to put your new sticker on a nice, clean window.

Easy Shoveling

When the first snowstorm comes, spray some WD-40 penetrating oil spray on your shovel. It'll make shoveling a breeze by preventing snow from sticking to the shovel.

Trade Show Time Saver

Take a sheet of address labels to trade shows, seminars, bridal events, etc. You can place labels on mailing lists and never worry about looking for a pen. If you have an inkless stamper from an office supply store, that works well too.

Relocating

When moving, keep your clothes in your dresser drawers. Remove the drawers, load the dresser on the truck, then put the drawers back in. You'll have less "empty space" on the truck and not as many boxes to pack and move.
