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.

When I fry french fries, I usually use a couple of SCOTT® towels to hold excess oil. Then I transfer them to a dish and serve them. Rather than tossing the towels, I fold and place them neatly into a sandwich bag and into the fridge. When I get ready to bake, I fold down the side exposing the SCOTT® paper towels, wipe around the pan, giving all sides a good coating of oil then add flour if necessary. My hands stay clean and I’m not cleaning under nails with shortening and didn’t waste my oil.

When loading your dishwasher with utensils, place all your forks together in one section of the basket. Do the same with knives and spoons. When you go to unload the dishwasher, all of your like utensils are together and you don't have to sort through them.
If you add a little flour when chopping nuts with a food processor they won't stick/clump on the blades.
If permanent marker or pen get marked on clothing, carpet, or any fabric, rub it with rubbing alcohol. Hairspray also works if you are on the go!
