Microwave

To clean your microwave, put a bowl of hot water with lemon juice in it, let the water come to a boil then just wipe it out with a sponge dipped in white vinegar. This removes all the splatters and grease fast without the need to buy microwave cleaners.

Hair Detangler

For your child or bed-bound senior at home or in nursing home: Untangle massively matted hair by dusting it liberally with baby powder and massage into hair. Separate hair into sections and brush hair working from root to tips. Afterwards wash and condition hair and style as you like.

Clean Plastic Containers

After using a plastic container for tomato sauce, rinse the container with cold water before washing it. The tomato sauce won't stain the container.

Reusing Water For Flowers

When my children are finished swimming for the day in their wading pool, I reuse the water by watering my garden with it. It saves money on the water bill as well as saving a natural resource. There aren't any chemicals in it so it won't hurt the flowers and vegetables. Every little bit of recycling can go a very long way.
