Try These!

Ok, so I love a great home remedy/idea that I can easily try or use myself.  I thought I would share a few that I find to be tried and true.

1) Shampoo with Tide laundry detergent to wash away a bad hair dye job.  Doesn't exactly make your hair soft and lush, but it will wash away any colour you aren't happy with.
                                                                                                                 

2) Run your sink plugs (what are they called?) through the dishwasher to clean them.  

                                                    

3) Put vinegar in a sandwich baggie and hang it around your shower head for 30mins to clean away dirt and grim.  

                                                      

4) To bring the shine back to your stainless steel, scrub with warm water and baking soda.  

                                                      

5) Wash ball caps in the dishwasher to prevent the brim from losing it's shape.

                                                           

6) Use a cupcake liner to stop your kiddies from dripping their popsicles everywhere.

                                                                  

7) Use baby powder to remove sand from sticking to baby feet, toes and hands (or anywhere really).

                                                                

8) Crumpled newspaper (instead of papertowels) and windex cleans mirrors, with long lasting effects.

                                                                  

9) Let a lemon sit in your garbage disposal for a few hours then turn it on with running water.  This will freshen up the smell.

                                                                  

10) Place a damp sponge in the microwave for 1 min.  It will loosen any splatter and make it easy to just wipe away clean.

                                                                

11) Put dryer sheets in your undie drawers to keep them smelling fresh.  I also place them in my bins that hold winter hats/mitts, sweaters... any place that you want to keep fresh.  

                                                                   

12) Use playdoh to pick up broken glass.

                                                                   

13) Wipe baby oil on your faucets and sinks to eliminate water stains.  Drips just roll off.

                                                  

14) Wash the blender by adding a few drops of dish soap, add warm water and blend!  Save your fingers around those tricky blades.  Rinse and dry.

                                                                        

15) Use a straw to travel with necklaces.  No knots!

                                                                      

16) Wash kids toys in the dishwasher.  This works great after sniffles and snot!

                                                   

17) Use boiling hot water to remove salt stains from rugs and shoes.

                                                    

18) Pour baby powder onto wooden floors to help stop squeaking boards.  Wipe away excess.

                                                                

19) Stick a hook on the back of baby's highchair to hang bibs for easy grabbing.
