Tips!

I love TIPS!  Tips are cool!  Here are a few new tips I just read from Real Simple magazine:

Use White Bread to: Dust an oil painting. Gently dab a slice of white bread over the surface to pick up dirt and grime.  Also picks up broken glass, dust/grime in the corners of your hardwood floor and baseboards.

Use Ketchup to: Remove tarnish from copper and brass cookware. Squeeze ketchup onto a cloth and rub it on pots and pans. They should go back to their coppery color in minutes. Rinse with warm water and dry with a towel.

Use Oatmeal to: Scrub very dirty hands. Make a thick paste of oatmeal and water; rinse well.

Use Rice to: Clean the inside of a vase or a thin-necked bottle. Fill three quarters of the vessel with warm, soapy water and add a tablespoon of uncooked rice. Cup your hand over the opening, shake vigorously, and rinse.

Use Tea to: Scour rusty garden tools. Brew a few pots of strong black tea. When cool, pour into a bucket. Soak the tools for a few hours. Wipe each one with a cloth. (Wear rubber gloves or your hands will be stained.

Use Glycerin to: Remove dried wax drippings from candlesticks. Peel off as much wax as possible, then moisten a cotton ball with glycerin and rub until clean.

Use Cornstarch to: Clean grease spills on carpets. Pour cornstarch onto spots and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before vacuuming.

Use Rubbing Alcohol to: Erase permanent-marker stains from finished wood floors or solid-surface countertops. Pour rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball and apply.
