1. Spraying Pam, or other: I open the dishwasher and hold my pan, etc. inside my dishwasher and I spray it in the dishwasher.  The grease sprays in the dishwasher not in my kitchen.

2. Prevent Botulism when grilling:  To make my spatula botulism free while using and re-using it, I place the spatula part in the grill, handle outside the grill, and I close the grill’s cover.  Thus re-use of my spatula does not spread botulism.

3. Smelly drain: I pour Kitchen Clean-ups, or pure bleach in the drain, let it soak a while then pour water in drain.

4. Brown Sugar staying moist: I empty the bag in a Food Saver container (a tight container would work the same) and I place a small empty margarine cup on top of the brown sugar, and I add a few drops on a folded paper towel and place it in the little bowl.  Your brown sugar will stay moist.  You can also wrap the damp paper towel in plastic wrap not completely sealing the plastic, if your brown sugar container is too small.

5. Cannot open a new Jar?: Hit the edge of the jar’s cover (I hit it on the floor) until you hear a click sound, the seal has been broken and the cover will be easier to open.

6.  Hallow bottle to clean: Pour gravel inside bottle, add water then shake the dirt off the wall of the bottle.  Do not use soapy water for it makes too much suds and the pebbles gets soft, thus does not scrap the dirt off.  Use soapy water when no more dirt is in the bottle.

7. Dusting my furniture: I use the hand held Swiffer duster (amazing) and I dust one room then I go shake off the dust in my bathtub, closing the shower curtain so the dust stays in the bathtub.  I do that to every room.  You will be surprised what the duster picked up and what is left in the tub.  I then pick up all the dust balls in the tub.  I then wash my bathtub.

8. Sweeping the floors: I use the Swiffer wand (amazing).  I sweep one room and then I vacuum the swiffer cloth with the vacuum wand, thus cleans the swiffer cloth for another room.  Also, I re-use the same cloth for another time I sweep by turning the cloth on the other side and do the same process.  If the cloth is not too dirty, or broken it can be used another time.  Thus, I save double the amount of cloth, great time and money saver.

9.  Spraying Spray Net: When I use spray net on my hair I spray my hair towards the bathtub.  Thus the sticky spray falls in the tub, not on the floor.

10.  Have knee pain: To ensure my knee is warm at all time, especially in the cool/cold time, arthritis, I cut the foot area of a tube sock and pull the sock on over the area where the pain is most sensitive.  Tube sock uppers do not choke the leg area.

11. Smear free cleaner: I use one small/smallest bottle of vinegar in a gallon of water solution for my windows, mirrors, stove, counter top, anything I would use windex/”windexy” on.  And the aroma is a wonderfully clean one.

12. Smear free floors:  The water and vinegar solution is really good for linoleum floors too, no soap smears, the floors shines.  I use it in a spray bottle for my bathroom floor and for touch up everywhere.  It is an excellent rinse after I have to wash my floors with detergents; it cleans the suds residue and leaves the floors shiny.

13. Prevent one messy oven rack:  Whatever I bake in the oven I always take the rack that I will not use out of the oven, this keeps that one rack clean.

14. Freezing food in containers:  When I freeze food in containers, especially the Fluff marshmallow container, it's a perfect one meal size container.  After the container is full, to the line, I put the cover on and take out the air.  I then immediately wrap the container with "Glad Press 'n' Seal" plastic wrap, pressing the air out as I seal the plastic wrap together.  I also use 2 two strips of masking tape and wrap around the cover and bottom area so the wrap will not get loose in the humidity of the freezer. 

   Also, I write what's in the container on the masking tape.  Any containers going in the freezer takes air easily but with the Press 'n' Seal there is no air going in, only the air that was not fully pressed out when sealing the wrap together will seap in the container. 

   Make sure you take the air out of the bottom of the container when you press the wrap around its sides.
