Tips and tricks from around the house

CHILLY WAY TO CLEAN YOUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL
 Make vinegar ice cubes and feed them down the disposal. After grinding, run cold water through.

Spilled cooking oil.
Oil spills in the pantry? Sprinkle flour on the spill, let sit for a few minutes, then wipe up with a damp paper towel. Flour absorbs the grease for a quick and easy cleanup

Anti fog or fog proofer.

A simple bar of soap. Just rub on the soap and then polish with a soft cloth. Also great for your ski goggles or scuba mask. If you know anyone with a Volkswagen Beetle they will find this information a blessing. 

To Frost a Bathroom or Garage Window:
Make a solution of one cup of beer to four tbsp. Epsom salts and paint on the window. It washes off when you want a clear pane again. 

Bumper Sticker remover: 

Peanut butter or mayonnaise

Scratch Free Glass
Remove scratches from your glassware by squeezing a small amount of non-gel toothpaste onto a cloth and rubbing into the scratch. Wipe with a dry towel – it really works wonders.

Unclog your showerheads.
Remove the head and soak it in a mixture of equal parts vinegar and warm water for about 15 minutes to get the water flowing freely again.

Odourless containers.
Can’t seem to get an unpleasant odour out of a plastic container? Place a crumpled newspaper into the container, close the lid and let sit for a few days. Then wash with dish soap. Stinky smells will magically disappear
