DIY TIPS
AIR FRESHENER FOR CARPETS: Equal parts baking soda and cornstarch can be sprinkled on smelly carpet or rug to freshen it. Vacuum after letting sit for about 30 minutes. BAKING SODA EXPIRED?: Pour down the garbage disposal
with running water to freshen it up. Keep nearby or take a small container on the go to soak up spills in the car, or on your clothes.
CLEAN GRATER: Clean soft cheese, garlic, or any other food from your grater by cutting a lemon in half and rubbing the pulpy side against the grater. MAKE YOUR CUTTING BOARD NEW AGAIN:
INSTEAD OF BUYING RINSE AID: Add white vinegar to your
dishwasher instead.
LABELS STUCK?: Saturate with white vinegar and then peel off. TO PREVENT STAINING: Spray your Tupperware container with nonstick cooking spray before storing any dishes with a tomato-based sauce or any dish you think may stain. CLEAN STAINED TUPPERWARE: With a paste made with baking soda and a little water. OR soak in soap with cold water overnight. Then rinse and wash.
