Household Hints  

Refinish Antiques or Revitalize Wood: Use equal parts of linseed oil, white vinigar, and turpentine. Rub into furniture (or wood) with soft cloth and lots of elbow grease.

For Ease in Sliding: Rub wax along sliding door, windows and wooden drawers that stick.

A Simple Polish: For copper bottom cookware: equal portions of flour and salt made into a paste with vinegar. Keep in refrigerator

Instant coffee will work wonders on your furniture. Just make a thick paste of your favorite instant coffee and a little wather, and rub it into the nicks and scratches on your dark wood furniture.

For a spicy aroma, toss dried orange and lemon rinds into your fireplace.
