To clean burnt on residue from the bottom of a saucepan, pour vinegar over
and place in the freezer overnight. Allow to partially thaw, then add a
handful of bicard of soda and scrub with a nylon brush as it fizzes.
Instead of using a metal ring, fry an egg in a thickly cut circle of
capsicum (bell pepper). Looks and tastes great, and saves on the washing
up.
Sprinkle a few drops of lemon oil onto your cobweb broom before cleaning
away cobwebs. Spiders hate the lemon oil and won't return to that spot.
Add the peel of an apple to the saucepan or m'wave dish when you're
cooking cauliflower and there will be no smell.
Pop a few cloves, broken cinnamon bark and bay leaves into ready made
organza gift bags (from craft stores). Then tuck the bags amongst your
woolens for a sweet smelling way to keep the moths at bay during summer
months.
To deodorise smelly shoes, mix a few drops of lavender or tea tree oil
into bicarb of soda, pack the mixture into a sock or stocking and leave in
the shoes overnight. Add extra oil when re-using.
After you've cleaned leather shoes with polish, rub them over with the
back of a hot spoon. This will help waterproof them and keep them shiny
and scuff free for much longer.
Unpleasant smell in the dishwasher?? Fill the powder compartment with
bicard of soda and the rinse aid dispenser with white vinegar. Run the
empty machine on a full wash cycle and the smell will be gone.
Use a sewing machine? Tape a plastic bag to the front of your sewing table
to catch all the snipped threads and trimmed edges. It'll save picking
them up off the floor.
