Hint 1: 

Mouthwash fights germs in your mouth, so why not in the 
Rest of the bathroom? Pour 1/4 cup alcohol-based mouthwash 
(the cheap, generic kind) into your toilet and let sit for 
A half-hour. Swish around with a brush, then flush. It will 
Sanitize and deodorize the bowl.

Freshen the air each time you go to the bathroom, with this 
Handy trick. When you get out a new roll of toilet paper, 
Place a few drops of your favorite essential oil in the card-

Vinegar for Fresh Smelling Laundry
My husband is a runner and his clothes get really smelly. 
They were making all the laundry have an odor. I used several 
Different brands of detergent, but his clothes still had an 
Odor. I finally started adding one cup of household white 
Vinegar to each load of clothes. No more odor! All the 
Clothes come out smelling great and no more sweaty smell 
To my husband's sports clothes
Hint 1: Peel garlic with ease

To make peeling garlic easier, especially if you need a lot, 
Put the individual cloves in a bowl and cover with very hot 
Tap water. Give the mixture a few stires with a whisk, and in 
A couple of minutes, the skins will soften and loosen. This 
Will make them a cinch to slip off.

Whether you're feeding a crowd or just your family and don't 
Want bacon that is curled, try this:

Spray Pans With "No Stick" Spray in Dishwasher
When spraying your baking and frying pans with no stick 
Spray, open your dishwasher door and place the item on it. 
Spray your cooking pans as desired and simply close the 
Dishwasher door. No oily mess to clean off the counters 
And items on your counter in the general area and especially 
Not on the floors making an extreme slipping hazard. 

Close the door and easily clean it all up the next time 
You run your dishwasher through the cycles leaving a shiny 
Clean inside door and no residue to clean while trying to 
Prepare your food saving time, energy and money by not 
Having to purchase as much cleaning supplies. Simple and 
Easy, try it and guaranteed you will use this trick often, 
I know I do! 

Hint 1: I stopped buying plastic wrap because I use to get so frustrated when it would stick to itself. I can't wait to buy some, and try this trick.

Store the box in the freezer, the cold temperature will make it less sticky.

This is a great trick if it really works!

Hint 2: Spray less cleaner

Spraying less glass cleaner on a window or mirror will make 
Cleaning up faster. Too much spray causes you to work more and is the a big reason for streaks on glass and mirrors. 

Spray directly on to your paper towel or cloth, much more 
Efficient and faster.

However, if you wet down your car and then rub the dead insects with a wet sheet of Bounce, the love bugs come off.�€
