Clean up Split Wax

To clean up split candle wax lay a SCOTT® Towel and then a cheesecloth or dry kitchen towel on top of the spill. Next, take a heated iron and gently iron over the towels until the wax is absorbed by the SCOTT® Towel. Make sure to use a low iron setting to prevent surfaces from getting scorched. Check frequently as you iron to see if you need to replace the SCOTT® Towel. Once the wax is all absorbed, simply dispose of the towel.

Clean up Spills in Your Fridge

To clean up sticky dried on spills in the fridge, wet a SCOTT® Towel with hot water and sprinkle it with baking soda. Lay the SCOTT® Towel on the sticky mess and let it sit. This will loosen, clean and deodorize your fridge without hindering all the food stored there. Repeat as necessary.

Buy What You Need

It's tempting to buy larger quantities when prices are great, but do you have a way to safely store the extras? As a single senior citizen, I no longer have a need for large purchases. I found that much was going to waste, so now I shop more carefully, and only buy what I will use within a month.

Sleep Tight!

Keep a few clothes pins or food clips in your travel bag to close gaping curtains in hotel rooms. Nothing can spoil a good night's sleep like bright light streaming through the curtains too early in the morning.

Easy Organizing - Traveling

Travel Size

In my overnight travel bag, I keep items such as cotton swabs, floss, pantyliners, and pocket-size tissue packs, in small zip-close bags. This way, I don't have to re-pack these items for each trip.

Ice Cream

When giving small children Ice Cream cones, put the child in a cardboard box. They can be traveling to the moon while keeping the mess confined.
