Ingredients: *To clean copper-bottom pots, use ketchup.
*Wrap cheese in parchment or wax paper, then place in an open plastic bag; store
in the refrigerator.
* Water your houseplants with club soda that has gone flat. The chemicals that
remain in the soda add vigor to the greenery.
*To eliminate ink stains from a carpet, soak the stained area with lemon juice.
*To remove mud or soot from a rug, sprinkle the stained area with salt. Allow the
salt to dry or settle before vacuuming.
*To clear a clogged drain, pour 1/2 cup of salt, 1/2 cup of baking soda, and 1/4 cup
vinegar down the drain. Close or plug until the fizzing stops, then flush with boiling
water.
*For no-fuss painting, place a roller pan inside a plastic bag. Then pour paint into the
plastic in the pan; the bag acts as a liner. When the job is finished, remove the pan,
turning the bag inside out, and discard it.
* To remove bugs and tar from a car, use a damp cloth to apply to apply a paste
made by mixing baking soda with water. Allow the paste to sit for a few minutes
before wiping and rinsing the area clean.
* To make a microwave over smell fresh, fill a microwavable cup with water and mix
1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Heat the water at the power for 1 minute.
* To remove crayon marks from painted walls, scrub with a dab of non-gel
toothpaste.
* To remove chewing gum from clothing, chill it with a piece of ice. The hardened
gum can be crumbled and brushed off.
