PLEASE BE SURE YOU READ THE LAST ONE
ABOUT THE CLOTHES DRYER!!!!!!
GREAT TIPS:
1. Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of
the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the
crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel
and it really works.
2. Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal , mash till they are all
broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up
mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into
egg. Just throw bag away when done, easy clean up.
3. Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it
with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get
to frost more cake/cup cakes with the same amount. You also eat less
sugar and calories per serving.
4. Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place
them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased m oisture will
keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
5. Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil.
Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go,
cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some
gardening plastic they will not get through wet
newspapers.
6. Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass
you can't see easily.
7. No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the
mosquitoes away.
8. Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants s prinkle your plants with
cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the
plant and the squirrels won't come near it.
9. Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an
empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your
vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
10. Reducing Static Cli ng
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have
a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when
wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- ta da! --static is gone.
11. Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot
water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup.
Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how
easily it comes right out.
12. Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the
glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with
the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
13. Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include
something inside, place your sealed envelope in the
freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.
14. Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a
lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's
also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't
like when you tried it in your hair...
15. Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies , take a small glass fill it 1/2' with
Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing
liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn
to the cup and gone forever!
16. Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They
eat it, take it 'home', can't digest it so it kills them. It may take
a week or so, especially if it rains , but it works & you don't have
the worry about pets o r small children being harmed!
17. INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes
things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us
something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint
filter. It was clean.
(I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.)
He told us that he wanted to show us something;
he took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it.
The lint filter is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know
what your dryer's lint filter looks like.
WELL...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns
out the heating unit.
You can't SEE the film , but it's there. It's what is in the
dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free - that nice
fragrance too, you know how they can feel waxy when you take them out
of the box, well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your
lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire &
potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep
your dryer working for a very long time (& to keep your electric bill
lower) is to take that filter out & wash it with hot soapy water & an
old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months.
He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!
How about that!?! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't
know dryer sheets would do that. So, I thought I'd share!
Note: I went to my dryer & tested my screen by running water on it.
The water ran through a little bit but mostly collected all the water
in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm soapy water & a nylon brush
& I had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it the water ran right
Thru the screen!
There wasn't any pudling at all! That
repairman knew what he was talking about!
