Tips |
Drain cleaner: Use a plunger or plumber's snake.
Oven cleaner: Clean spills as soon as the oven cools using steel wool and baking soda; for tough
stains, add salt (do not use this method in self-cleaning or continuous-cleaning
ovens).
Glass cleaner: Mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice in 1 quart of water. Spray on and use
newspaper to wipe dry.
Toilet bowl cleaner: Use a toilet brush and baking soda or vinegar. (This will clean but not disinfect.)
Furniture polish: Mix 1 teaspoon of lemon juice in 1 pint of mineral or vegetable oil, and wipe
furniture.
Rug deodorizer: Deodorize dry carpets by sprinkling liberally with baking soda. Wait at least 15
minutes and vacuum. Repeat if necessary.
Silver polish: Boil 2 to 3 inches of water in a shallow pan with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of
baking soda, and a sheet of aluminum foil. Totally submerge silver and boil for 2 to
3 more minutes. Wipe away tarnish. Repeat if necessary. (Do not use this method
on antique silver knives. The blade will separate from the handle.) Another
alternative is to use nonabrasive toothpaste.
Plant sprays: Wipe leaves with mild soap and water; rinse.
Mothballs: Use cedar chips, lavender flowers, rosemary, mint, or white peppercorns.
Flea and tick products: Put brewer's yeast or garlic in your pet's food; sprinkle fennel, rue, rosemary, or eucalyptus seeds or leaves around animal sleeping areas.
