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

Removing Ink

If you find that you have an ink mark on your clothes, all you have to do is be sure to spray the area with hairspray until you can "see" the ink coming off; do this just before you wash the item. I used to work at a copy place, so I know for a fact that this works. It doesn't matter what kind of hairspray.

Keeping Focused

If you or your children have trouble keeping focused, try using either spearmint gum or mints. The oils from the spearmint will help keep you focused and all you need is the smell of it. This is a good way to avoid prescription drugs as well.

Homework Hassles

When your little one has a hard time doing their homework...discuss with them how much homework they have for the night and reward them with some playtime and a healthy snack. Playtime should be something they love to do and should not be longer than 15-20 minutes per subject, and you will find that they concentrate better on the homework longer and longer as the days go by. This works especially well with children that have ADD and ADHD, but others will benefit from it as well. It saves arguments and keeps peace in the family at homework time.

Remove Facial Hair for Less

Instead of paying the expesive salon fee to have facial hair removed via waxing; use generic wax or foam, it works just as well if not better. One bottle will last it seems like forever.

Save Food & Save Money

Don't waste food- moisten a paper towel and wrap it loosely around a leftover biscuit, roll, etc. Microwave about 15 seconds, and it comes out steaming hot and fresh tasting! This works wonders on most baked goods.

The Smell

As a cleaning service owner I use SCOTT® Towels and a scented cleaning oil to go around the top of the door frames for that fresh clean smell. It has worked for me for the past 25 years.
