HOMEMADE LAUNDRY SCENT BOOSTER You can spend a bit of money on the laundry scent boosters that are available in the stores to keep your laundry smelling fresh for weeks, but there is another alternative – make it yourself for next to nothing. Mix 1-2 cups Epsom salt (depending on how much you want to make) with 20-30 drops essential oil (lemon and lavender work great but you can use any you like). Stir to fully combine. Let the mixture air dry and store in a covered mason jar. Dropping one tablespoon of the scented salt in with each load of laundry will keep your clothes smelling wonderful. Need more scent? Just add a few more drops of essential oil to the salts. The added benefit is that the salt helps to soften your looking to get away fabrics as well.

MAINTENANCE TIP The garbage disposal is a great feature to have available in the kitchen. It helps to ensure that sinks don’t clog up easily. In order to prevent problems with your garbage disposal, keep it working well, and avoid maintenance costs, here are a few tips:  Garbage disposals are helpful for grinding up small pieces of food that may have come off the dishes during cleaning. They aren’t meant to be used in place of a trash can for larger or tough items.  Items like potato or veggie peels, seeds or pits, egg shells, coffee grounds, rice or pasta, and stringy vegetables are major offenders and while easily ground up can still clog the disposal.  Garbage like plastic, paper, and glass should never go in the disposal.  Oils and fats can clog not only the garbage disposal, but the drain pipes as well, so they should not be dumped in the sink.
