Ew, greasy!

Use Corn Starch to clean up grease spills. Also, on carpet just sprinkle some on the area, let stand no more than 30 minutes. vacuum it up!

Hard to clean those bottles?

Great Tip!

Just use rice & some water, plug, and shake.

Okay wanna-be-greenie over here...yeah I sometimes try to be good at recycling my glass food jars(ex. spaghetti sauce jar) and so I'll try to scrub and wash it so I can put it in the bin. So I figure this would help it go faster and hopefully less contact within the ucky jar!


:0) Happy Me!

Don't drink tea? thats okay


...use it to clean tottered rusty tools/garden tools.
Make Black tea like normal(as much as needed), cool, then place the necessaries into bucket/etc with tea and soak.
Let soak about 2-3 hours then(wearing gloves) scrub/wipe with cloth.

Don't bite the hand that cleans you


"
Use club soda to: Shine up a scuffed stainless-steel sink. Buff with a cloth dampened with club soda, then wipe dry with another clean cloth."

"Use hydrogen peroxide to: Disinfect:(ex. a keyboard.) Dip a cotton swab in hydrogen peroxide to get into those nooks and crannies."

Pass me the Ketchup

From: Real Simple
Great ways to clean "green"




" White Bread and Ketchup

Use white bread to: Dust an oil painting. Gently dab a slice of white bread over the surface to pick up dirt and grime.

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. "
