can you post some household tips here?

Oxyclean is my friend!! Great for the laundry, carpet, upholstery, etc.. I think I would do a commercial for them. I had a 2 year old red wine stain on the carpet of my rented apartment, 30 seconds after spraying on, voila no stain!
 
easy way to clean the microwave!!put some water and a lemon slice in a coffee cup and boil in microwave for 3 minutes. all the cooked on stuff wipes right out.
 
Microwave your dish rag or sponge. Instead of always having to throw away your sponge or wash your dish rag, just put it in the microwave for 30 seconds and it gets the germs and nasty smell out! Another tip is to use bathroom cleaner with bleach on a your carpet after you spill something and it won't stain. Just make sure you dab with hot water right away.
