Tip #1: Clean Green!
Mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part water in a spray bottle to clean counter tops, floors and windows. Don’t worry about a lingering vinegar smell! It disappears as the vinegar dries.
Tip #2: Stains Giving You A Headache?
Common aspirin can help with the pain – but it can also remove the problem stain! For perspiration stains: Mix one aspirin with half a cup of warm water. Once the aspirin has dissolved, soak sweat stain in water and allow to dry. Wash as usual.
For Grass stains: Dissolve one aspirin in warm water and add lemon juice. Use mixture to remove grass stains from hands and other non-woven surfaces.
Tip#3: Aspirin dissolved in water can be used as a hair-rinse to get rid of chlorine in light colored hair.
Tip #4: Holy Sheet!
What can’t a dryer sheet do? Repel mosquitoes, anti-static dust cloth, pet-hair collector.
Tip #5: Another dryer sheet trick; thread de-tangler; run needle with thread through unused sheet to eliminate unruly thread behavior!
Tip #6: Easy pot cleanup with dryer sheets. Soaking a few dryer sheets in a gross, baked on camp pot overnight will make the mess easy as pie to clean up!
Tip #7: Toothpaste adds sparkle to more than your smile!
Wipe non-gel toothpaste on the back of skipping music CDs or DVDs. Wipe off surface and the disk should play like new!
Applying paste toothpaste to scratched glasses, watch faces, glass table tops will remove minor scratches.
Tip #8: Forget to put out coasters at the last cocktail party? Toothpaste can remove the water rings left on woodwork from sweating beverage glasses.
Tip #9: Cheers to you, vodka!
Keep a small spray bottle filled with (cheap) vodka to use as a handy odor-remover.
Tip #10: In addition to stinky sneakers, sweaty hoodies, and smoky clothes, a spray of vodka can also remove offensive odors like cat pee!
Hydrogen peroxide is my #1 helper. NO stink like vinegar. I spray on countertops, use as toothpaste and whitener, rinse toothbrush after brushing, wipe down toilet, use on cuts and scrapes, spray in shoes, wipe down windows and mirrors (no streaking), laundry whitener. Doctors use hydrogen peroxide to kills germs. It is inexpensive, can be found anywhere and is one the MOST multi-purpose liquids I have found for RV and home use.
