I freeze my half and half, plus I make flavored water. When the bottles need washing, it's hard to get them clean.

Salt for Removing Blood from Clothing - container of salt

Salt for Removing Blood from ClothingRemove blood from clothing is by using salt. Where the stain is, get it wet and then cover the stain with salt and let it sit for about 10-20 minutes. Then when you are ready to wash it in the washer, add your regular amount of detergent you normally use, but add about 3-4 tablespoons of salt to your wash as well. Wash as usual, and you will get great results!

Using A Large Piece Of Tile To Make Craft Cleanup Easy - gold painted leaves on a piece of white tile

Using A Large Piece Of Tile To Make Craft Cleanup EasyWorking with different craft projects can be messy especially if you are using a lot of glue or paint. Normally you need to cover your area with a newspaper or have a special plastic cloth that you use when working on a different craft project. Newspaper can be messy and the black ink can get on your hands or even on your craft project. Using a very large piece of tile is the best way to go.

Clean with Clean ToolsI never put away a dust mop, broom, wet mop, or other such instrument unless I clean it first. Whether I have swept up a dry or wet mess, it makes little sense to put away the tool without eliminating the remainder of the dirt and rinsing the tool so it is ready for the next go-round.

Reuse Bags Inside Cereal or Cracker BoxesThis is extremely strong and waterproof material with many possible uses. I store leftovers in them. Or open the seam and flatten to use in place of wax paper for wrapping sandwiches or lining piecrust for "blind-baking." Prevent splattering when reheating dishes in the microwave.
