GARDEN
FERTILIZER/COMPOST Spread the ashes from your BBQ and from your
fire place in your garden. This will help in growing stronger plants
GARDEN helpers:
When I had a large garden, I put hay around the plants and on the
rows. This way when I watered, the moisture would last longer, weeds
were easier to pull. You also knew just where to till.
HOT PEPPERS: When planting hot peppers, water
just enough to keep them growing. The less you water them, the
hotter they get.
Freshen Stuffed
Animals: Keep favorite cuddly toys fresh with a dry
shower of Baking Soda. Just sprinkle Baking Soda on and let it sit for 15
minutes before brushing off. It is safe for your baby.
Cleaning Brushes and Combs: Clean natural oil build-up and
hair product residue from combs and brushes by soaking them in a solution
of 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda in a small basin of warm water. Rinse and
allow to dry. LEAN RINGS: Remove a ring stuck on your finger by
using vegetable oil. my mom
CLEAN TUB: Hard water build-up can be cleaned much easier if you
fill your tub with hot water and pour a few cups of vinegar in it and let
it set for a few hours. my mom
PRICE TAGS ON GLASS: You can put a little bit of lighter fluid
on a paper towel and rub the sticky residue. author unknown
RUSTY TOOLS: A friend of mine had charcoal briquets in his tool
box. He said it absorbed moisture.
GUM FROM HAIR: Take an ice cube and hold it against the gum. The
gum will harden and be easier to come out.
STUCK ZIPPERS: Take a lead pencil and rub it up and down the
zipper.
STUCK ZIPPERS: Rub soap on the teeth of the zipper and it will
move easier.
DIRTY PEARLS: To clean pearls, rub a dab of Star Olive Oil®
over pearls, cleaning each pearl individually. Wipe dry with a chamois
cloth
SHAVING : If you run out of shaving cream, slather on Star
Olive Oil.
