10 Household Tips according to my Cereal Box



1) Fresh Lemon will remove Onion scents from your hands.

2) To keep ants out of the house, find where they are entering and sprinkle a barrier of cinnamon or ground pepper to block their way. The spices are too hot for the ants to cross.

3) Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

4) To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

5) The freshness of eggs can be tested by placing them in a large bowl of cold water. If they float, don't use them.

6) For a clogged shower-head, try boiling it in a 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 quart of water for 15 minutes.

7) Don't throw away leftover wine. Freeze it in ice cube trays for later use in casseroles or sauces.

8) If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish gloves. The rubber grip makes opening easier.

9) Use egg whites to remove gum from clothing. Brush egg white onto gum with a toothbrush. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then launder as usual.

10) Baby wipes are miracle workers for stains. From motor oil to blood, they remove almost anything!
