Cleaning
Showerheads - Find it
hard to clean hard water
stains on the showerhead?
Get one of those
baggie/Ziploc bags, fill
with White Vinegar (or you
can use Lime Away but more
expensive), tie it around
the top so that it's
covered, let it stay there
for about an hour or so then
remove. All clean! |

Painting
Clean-Up - Through
painting for the day or will
be taking a long break and
don't want to have to wash
up everything only to mess
it back up again later on or
the next day? Wrap up the
roller or paint brush in a
tight plastic bad then place
in freezer. Just be sure to
take out about a half hour
before you are ready to use
them. This is only to be
done with Latex water base
paint, NOT oil based.

Use
a rubber spatula to get the
last of the Mayo, Mustard
and anything else that comes
in a jar and is hard to get
the last of out with a spoon
or knife. |

Cheese
Lover?? Try buying it in
large quantities when it's
on sale, then grate it all
up and store in a ziplock
freezer bag. Take out of
freezer when you need some &
shake the bag or bang on
side of counter to loosen,
to get the amount you need,
then put back in freezer!

|
Leftover
grease/oil? Save those glass
jars with lids from Mayo,
Mustard, Tomato sauce etc.
Pour extra oil or grease you
no longer need in jars till
full, put lid back on and
throw in garbage. No more
trying to pour down sink and
risking clogging it up. (you
might want to let any hot
oil or grease cool down some
before pouring into jar.)

Old tried and true trick!
Put some rice in your salt
shaker to keep from getting
"sticky". |
|
Brown Sugar or other sugar,
to keep from getting hard,
keep in freezer.

Love
Mashed Potatoes? Next time
you make them do a double
batch so there's plenty left
over, then put single
servings in muffin tins and
put in freezer till frozen,
remove and store in ziplock
freezer bag then just take
out what you need later and
heat in Microwave.
