Cast iron will last for generations if properly cared for. A properly seasoned pan will be non-stick and will clean up very easily. After washing, I warm up the pan on my stovetop. I then use Crisco on a paper towel to rub all over the pan.

Turn Dead Space into Storage Space
By Ginny
I doubt anyone ever said that they have too much storage space! Yesterday, I was getting a little reorganized for the change of seasons, and had an idea to make some storage space in my small laundry room. I have front loading machines that sit about 6 to 8 inches away from the back wall to accommodate hoses and vents.
Sponges for Keeping Jewelry Safe
By Sandi/Poor But Proud
I buy my sponges 6 at a time from the dollar stores. But I don't like the size or the shape of the sponge part, so I cut them in half to make 12, allowing me to throw each one away on Sundays. The sponge part is sort of wasted but today I found another way to keep them useful.
Isopropyl Alcohol to Remove Permanent Marker from Clothing
By Jess
My son came home from school the other day and asked me if I could get pen off his favorite hoodie. I poured isopropyl alcohol directly on the spots and used q-tips to scrub across the pen marks, rinsing it out and reapplying a few times.

Spray cleaning is fast and easy and can save you a lot of time and effort. However it is more expensive than using a bowl of soapy water and a cloth. If you are living on a budget it is worth splashing out on a large bottle of multi purpose concentrated cleaner.
Use Matching Storage Containers In Kitchen
By likekinds
The sugar came in a 5 lb. paper bag. The cocoa came in a round tin. The dark brown sugar came in a plastic bag. The light brown sugar came in a paper box. Imagine storing these conveniently, side by side.

You can extend those Renuzit or Air Wick solid air fresheners by placing the scented part in a potpourri pot. I just add both the water and the chunk into a potpourri pot that plugs in. It extends the pretty smell in the house!

Can't remember the name of the medicine you got when you get to the store? Tired of pieces of paper floating around and getting nowhere and lost? Need to remember to get something from the store and always forget?

Flip flops tend to get dirty, especially my white and pink ones. I have tried many cleaners and the best is the Magic Eraser.
