New Household Hints
PLEASE BE SURE YOU READ THE LAST ONE
ABOUT THE
CLOTHES DRYER!!!!!!
1. Reheat Pizza: Heat up leftover
pizza in a
Nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low
and heat till
Warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza.
I saw this on
The cooking channel and it really works.
2. Easy Deviled Eggs: Put
cooked egg yolks in
A zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken
up. Add remainder
Of ingredients , reseal , keep mashing it up mixing
thoroughly , cut the
Tip of the baggy , squeeze mixture into egg. Just
throw bag away when
Done easy clean up.
3. Expanding Frosting: When you buy
a
Container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer
for
A few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more
Cake/cupcakes with the same amount.
You also
eat less sugar and calories
Per serving.
4. Reheating refrigerated bread: To
warm
Biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them
in
A microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep
the
Food moist and help it reheat faster.
5. Newspaper weeds away: Start putting
in
Your plants; work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers put
layers
Around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and
forget
About weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they
will not
Get through wet newspapers.
6. Broken Glass clean up:
Use a wet
cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the
Small shards of glass you can't see
easily.
7. No More
Mosquitoes: Place a dryer sheet in
Your pocket. It will
keep the mosquitoes away.
8. Squirrel Away!: To keep squirrels
from
Eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The
cayenne
Pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come
near it.
9. Flexible vacuum
nozzle: To get something
Out of a heat register or under the
fridge add an empty paper towel roll
Or empty gift wrap roll to your
vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to
Get in narrow
openings.
10. Reducing Static
Cling: Pin a small
Safety pin to the seam of your slip and
you will not have a clingy skirt
Or dress. Same thing works with slacks
that cling when wearing panty
Hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and --
at DA! -- static is gone.
11. Measuring Cups clean up: Before
you
Pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water.
Dump
Out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient,
such as
Peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right
out.
12. Hate foggy
windshields? Buy a
Chalkboard eraser and keep it in the
glove box of your car. When the
Windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works
better than a cloth!
13. Reopening envelope : If you seal
an
Envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside,
just
Place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two.
Viola! It
Unseals easily.
14. Hair Conditioner: Use your hair
Conditioner to shave your
legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream
And leaves your legs really
smooth. It's also a great way to use up the
Conditioner you bought but
didn't like when you tried it in your hair..
15. Goodbye Fruit Flies: To get rid of
pesky
Fruit flies , take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider
Vinegar
And 2 drops of dish washing liquid mix well. You will
find those flies
Drawn to the cup and gone forever!
16. Get Rid of Ants: Put small piles
of
Cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home", can't
digest
It so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it
rains ,
But it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small
children
Being harmed!
17. INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS: The
heating
Unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things
around the
House for us told us that he wanted to show us something and
he went
Over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean.
(I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes)
He told us that he wanted to show us
something; he
Took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it.
The lint filter
Is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know what
your dryer's lint
Filter looks like.
WELL...the
hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It
Didn't go through it at all!
He told us that dryer sheets cause a film
Over that mesh that's what
burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the
Film , but its there.
It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your
clothes soft and static
free - that nice fragrance too; you know how
they can feel waxy when
you take them out of the box,
and well
this stuff
builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen.
This is also what causes dryer units
to catch fire & potentially burn your house down with it!
He said the best way to keep your
dryer working for a very long time
(& to keep your electric bill
lower) is to take that filter out & wash
it with hot soapy water
& an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least
every six months.
He said that makes the life of the
dryer at least
twice as long! How about that!?! Learn something
new everyday! I
certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that.
So, I thought I'd share!
Note: I went to my dryer &
tested my screen by running water on
it. The water ran through a little
bit but mostly collected all the
water in the mesh screen. I washed it
with warm soapy water & a nylon
brush & I had it done in 30
seconds. Then when I rinsed it the water ran
right Thru the screen!
There wasn't any paddling at all! That repairman
knew what he was
talking about .
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO
OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR
ADDRESS BOOK. NOT ONLY COULD IT SAVE SOMEONE'S
HOME , BUT IT COULD SAVE
SOMEONE'S
LIFE.
