Tips Only A Few People Know
Tips Few People Know
To make cleaning up easier, just rub the top of your stove, occasionally with car wax.
This will stop grease from sticking.
Occasionally wipe down those kitchen walls, with white vinegar and water. Soon it will keep, the grease from sticking.
Need a wrack for pan lids. Just mount a towel rack on the back of your cabinet door.
If food gets stuck to a pot, just fill the pan with warm water, and place a fabric softener sheet in the water. Then let this solution sit over night.
Never use oven cleaners in self cleaning ovens.
Never place a tea bag in the microwave. The metal staple on the bag can ruin your oven.
Never place a sealed container in a microwave.
To sharpen blades on your garbage disposal, just toss 4 ice cubes down it. Then run it for a few seconds.
To keep the bathroom mirror from fogging up, just place a small amount of shaving cream on it. Then towel it off.
Squeaky hinges on doors and cabinets, just use a spray vegetable oil. WD40 attracts dust.
Got a burn on a counter, just glue a small trivet, or ceramic tile on for a nicer look.
For a quick shine on your laminate counter, just apply car wax. But buff it good afterwards. Then very little wax will remain, and you’ll have a nice shine.
Got any left over floor linoleum, just line your cabinet shelves for easy cleaning.
Never use a foam or rubber – backed rug or mat on a linoleum floor. It will cause permanent discoloration.
If your kitchen chairs are scratching the floor, just put some adhesive pads on the bottom of the legs.
If you lose the knob on the lid to a pan, just place a screw with, the thread side up into the hole. Last attach a cork onto it.
If you cook in glass, reduce the oven temp by 25 degrees.
To clean burned on food in cast iron, just mix sand and vegetable oil together, then scrub it with steel wool. You will have to re - season.
If your steam iron stops steaming, it is probably clogged with mineral deposits. So to remove these just put some, white vinegar in the water reservoir, then place the iron flat on a metal rack and plug it in. Now set the steam setting and, watch for the steam to come out. There your deposits should now be dissolved.
Keep that food processor clean, by running some soapy water through it. Now rinse it good.
Now you can clean your grater two ways. You can use a toothbrush, or you can grate a small piece of raw potato before washing it out.
To locate a stud in the wall for picture, or other hangings use your electric razor. Turn the razor on and run it across the wall. When you come to a stud the razor sound will change.
It's too freakin expensive, out their now for all of us. So going to share things from my books, I have collected from all my journeys.
A lot more to submit, later.

Con'd Tips
You can cover a picnic table with linoleum tiles, or linoleum left over from a roll. Clean up a breeze.
If water is dripping from an outside shut off valve, check for a loosend packing nut. Open the valve all the way then tighten the nut.
When watering landscapes water between 6 P.M. and 10 A. M. Never during the heat of the day. You’ll lose too much water evaporation. Water less in spring and fall, and more in the summer.
If you have a ceiling fan, you can do this in the winter. Just take and reverse the fan then put it on low. This will draw warm air up to, the ceiling and force it back down.
Car odors can be solved by putting a few charcoal briquettes under the car seat.
Crayon marks on a wall. Spray with WD40 oil, and wipe with clean cloth.
Now if you move furniture around and it, leaves a dent in the carpet do this. Place a few ice cubes, in the dent and leave over night.
Ink on walls just use bleach. Ink on clothes try rubbing alcohol.
If you break off a key in a door lock try this. Take and put some super glue on the broken part. Wait a few minutes and pull it out.
Some people have a problem, finding a door lock at night. So just put a few drops of a luminous, paint around the keyhole. Problem solved.
If your having a problem locating the right circuit breaker for room, just plug in a radio and turn it on in that room. When you come to the right breaker you will hear the radio playing.
Smokers need to smoke outdoors. When they smoke inside they pollute the furniture and carpets.
Keep all pets clean. They bring allergens in the house.
If no fans in the house, then you need to open windows to circulate the air.
To stop a pipe from dripping water while you, solder it just plug the pipe with bread. The bread will dissolve when you turn the water back on.
Windows will slide easy , if you run a bar of soap across the track once in the while.
Never wash windows when sun in shinning on them. Wait for the shade. Otherwise you will just have streaks.
Still more coming!
