Sealing an Envelope
If the adhesive on an envelope doesn’t stick, try nail polish. It dries fast and seals well.
Burned food on your pots and pans?
Got a pot, pan, or casserole dish with burnt food or baked-on crud? Here’s an easy trick: Add some hot water, a few drops of dish soap, and an unused dryer sheet to the pan and allow to soak for 1 hour. The burned food will come off easily!
Choosing the Best Firewood
Hardwoods, such as maple, hickory, and oak, make the best firewood. They burn longer and give off more heat.
Protect Your Clothes from Moths
Don’t use toxic mothballs to repel moths! Place sachets of dried rosemary in the pockets of stored clothes to keep them away. Dried lavender also works well.
No room to dry things flat?
Use the bathtub! Place a thick towel on the tub bottom, lay your hand washables on it, and close the shower curtain. No one will see your laundry.
Gum stuck in your hair?
Try Using Peanut Butter! Rub it onto the gum and surrounding hair, working it in with your fingers. The oils in the peanut butter will help break down the gum. Tug gently to see if gum is coming loose. If not, add more peanut butter. Mayonnaise works in a similar fashion, as does Vaseline.
Foggy Windshield?
Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove compartment of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
