COLA:
Poured down the toilet and left for a few hours, cola makes a great toilet cleaner. Apply a few drops to loosen a tight bolt that won’t budge.
VINEGAR:
We all might know that a cupful of vinegar poured in the dishwasher or washing machine will keep them clean. It can also be used to clean taps, as a kettle de-scaler (mix with equal parts water, bring to the boil, leave overnight, rinse). A tablespoon of vinegar added to fat just before frying stops the food absorbing too much grease.
CHALK:
Put a stick in your silver drawer to absorb the moisture so as to prevent silver tarnishing. Ants hate chalk so won’t cross a chalk line. If you have an infestation, locate where they are entering your home and draw a chalk line across it.
WHITE BREAD:
A gentle rub with stale bread will remove grubby marks from your walls. Half a slice of stale bread in the bottom of the grill pan absorbs fat and prevents smoking. One side of a thick slice of bread can be used to pick up small pieces of broken glass.
Heloise, eat your heart out! ; )
See ya in the morning,
