Tips and Tricks I have learned along the way...

I have no idea what has made me think of this. I was drying my hair today and was thinking of these way random thoughts. So I thought I would share! You may have heard them before. But if you have any great tips to share, please leave your comment and let me know! I would love to hear them!!!

*If you leave your washed clothes in the washing maching for too long and they smell sour, put a cup of white vingar in the bleach dispenser and turn the washer to "rinse". It will get the smell right out and won't waste *as much* water! (not too proud of this one...I do this way too often!)

*To clean out the inside of your microwave, put a clean, wet wash cloth in the microwave and cook for about 1-2 minutes. The steam will un-stick the crusties and when the washcloth cools down a bit you can wipe down the inside with minimal effort!

*For a cheap laundry stain remover, use a few squirts dawn dishwashing soap and water in a spray bottle. Works great!

*I just read this one in an email today: (thanks Debbi!) to get rid of house flies in your house of camper, just fill up a zip lock baggie half full and put 4-5 pennies in it. Hang it at the entrance of the doorway you don't want the flies to enter through. Apparently it creates a dizzying effect on the flies from the prizm (or something?)

*Open a banana from the bottom and you won't get the stingys.


This is all I can think of at the moment....what great inventions do you have? Let's hear 'em!
