10 Great Household Tips

10 household tips that really works!

  1. If you freeze candles before you use them, they will burn slower and last longer.
  2. Olive oil makes an effective but greasy substitute for shaving cream.
  3. Adding a cup of coarse table salt to a load of wash helps to prevent colors from fading.
  4. Kitty litter is good for soaking up oil and other fluids your car drips on the driveway.
  5. Wash your windows on a cloudy day: Sunlight makes the cleaner dry more quickly, which can cause streaks.
  6. To protect fine china from getting scratched, put a coffee filter between each dish or tea cup when you stack them.
  7. Telephone gelling grimy? Wipe it down with a soft cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol.
  8. Used fabric softener sheets are excellent for wiping dust off computers and TV screens.
  9. Spice drops (similar to gum drops) make an effective bait for mouse traps.
  10. You can use silly putty to clean the gunk off your computer keyboard. It can also be used to remove lint from clothes.

I heard that gumdrops are mice's favorite food. Maybe they will work better than spice drops. Good list!
