I have alot of household tips for people all over the world. these are really good kept a copy of this useful information. I hope everyone
have use for this.
When moving to a new location, unpack your computer and let it stand at room temperature.
Use vinegar and hot water to clean dried on insects off the windshield, it doesn't leave a film. Remove adhesive from stickers by rubbing vegetable oil with a soft cloth or paper towel,then wash, also you can use alcohol. Foggy Mirrors? Take a Blow dryer it will clear it. If the draw string in you sweats pants keep slipping through the casting, try this easy solution sew a medium size button on the end of the drawstring and it won't slip through again.
Glass tabletops will sparkle if you rub gently with lemon juice or with vinegar, then dry with paper towels and polish with newspapers. Put used steel wool scrubbing pads in a plastic bag and store them in the frezzer to help prevent rust. Good idea, I usually put mind in the oven. Pan size is measured by top not bottom.
Fruit will be more flavorful if ripened at room tempera You can get twice the amount of orange juice if you hold it under hot water efore you squeeze it, a lemon too. Popcorn left in the cupboard? Place 1/4 cup of popcorn in a brown paper lunch bag. fold the top over a few times. Place paper on its side and microwave on High until the popping slows. I hope some of you can use some of thes household tips. anymore tips?
Share the with the world. ++++++++++++++++

Thanks Marcie for the great tips. Todays weather sure was nice. I did 3 loads of bedding and hung everything out to dry. My bed is going to be smelling like sunshine and fresh air tonight. I also got some yard work done. Have a good night.

I place baking soda in my soapy water when I am mopping the floors, it give it a shine you can't get from anything else, great to use on granite tiles.

These are wonderful tips. Thanks for sharing them with me. I use the hair dryer to take the fog off the mirrors all the time but dont tell my husband. He keeps jumping on me to remember to turn on the air vent but I keep forgetting.

I like the button thing and when we get our next new drawstring waist pants I will do this. Thanks for sharing these. Some may not have been taught by their parents and my children will each know so that they can keep their living quarters cleaner.
My best tip would be to pick up as you go about your day. When your cleaning day comes there will be less to do and you can get it done faster.

Great tips. If anyone has a tip on the most effective and easiest way to remove wax from candle holders I'd appreciate it. I've been cleaning out some old candle holders and I can't get all the wax. Any ideas?

To ripen bananas faster place them in a brown paper back with an apple. It works fast!To remove candle was from carpet or fabric get a news paper and place it over the cooled spill. Take a clothes iron and place it over the rag that's over the spot for a small amount of time. The paper should absorb the candle wax.

Very good tips! I have one that I thought of just recently. My son had some silly putty and got it all over one of my couch pillows. So I put salt on it so that it would asorb the wet and then I put on a degreaser to get the rest off and then put more salt on to get rid of the degreaser mark. Worked like a charm.
