Microwave quick clean

Wet a Scott paper towel, place in microwave and microwave for 30 seconds. The steam will loosen any baked on spills and the warm Scott towel will wipe the interior of the microwave clean

Dollars & Sense - Reuse / Recycle

Pain-free gardening

I've always looked at those kneeling benches that are sold with gardening supplies, but I never wanted to spend the money on something I would only use a few times each year. Last spring, my youngest child decided that he was a big boy and tall enough to sit at our table without using his cushy, comfy booster seat. I was just about to put the booster seat into our garage sale box, when I realized it would make a perfect kneeling cushion for gardening. My knees don't hurt now and I feel good about making the most of a past purchase!

Plumbing

If I get a cloged drain or if bad smells comes from bathroom or kitchen drains,I use a miture of 1 part baking soda to 3 parts vinegar. This tip really works. My husband is a plumber.

Renew Bleach Spotted clothes

I had several dark knit tops that had little bleach spots from where I had been cleaning..I found just the right shade of marker and used the tip to recolor many black and dark colored clothing... Like New!Stationery store may have the exact color you need and you can buy them individually..Can be used on throw rugs etc...!

steching dinner for less!

When I make hamburger, tuna, or chicken helper I add an extra handful or two of dry noodles to the noodles they provide. This always ensures we have plenty for everyone and it never ruins the recipe!

Quick clean up!!

While cleaning up dinner, instead of dirtying up tupperware or throw-away containers to store left-overs, just put your left-overs in a ziplock bag and put it in the fridge!! It not only saves time, and space, it saves a few dishes to wash!! Talk about a win, win situation. I have done this for years!!

No Blister with Minor Burns

To ease the blistering and burn of a minor burn from touching a hot surface such as the rack in the oven, hitting side of hot iron, put vanilla flavoring on it. This will pull the burn sting out and keep from blistering. However, don't do this for more severe burns.
