Helpful Tips: Make Life a Little Easier
- Make use of your old envelopes-Are you bothered by trying to shred those small receipts from your everyday purchases? The best way to get rid of receipts that may have your credit card number or other personal information on them, is to shred them. Feeding tiny receipts into a shredder is tedious. Instead of doing that, place all the old receipts into a few old envelopes and shred the envelopes!
- Another helpful tip for you to use around your home: We all have to clean the refrigerator once in awhile, right. We all have to do it sometime! After removing all the food racks from the fridge, mix up a handful of salt in one gallon or so of warm water and use it with a sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator. The mixture isn't abrasive, so it won't scratch and you won't be introducing chemical fumes or odors.
- Unstick a drawer If you have a desk or chest drawer that sticks, remove it and rub a candle on the runners. The drawer will open more smoothly when you slip it back in place.
- Make a dehumidifier- Do you have a humid closet, attic, basement or restroom? Get rid of all that humidity with several homemade dehumidifiers. To make one, just put some charcoal briquettes in a coffee can, punch a few holes in the lid, and place in the humid areas. Replace the charcoal every few months.
- Zap bleeding from shaving cuts: Ouch! You just cut yourself shaving and you've no time to spare. Just dab a bit of lip balm directly onto the nick and the bleeding from most shaving cuts will quickly stop.
