Cleaning Artificial Plants

Spray the plant with water in your sink and let it dry on the counter; and if it is a large tree, take it outside and spray with your hose and let the sunshine dry it. I find this is a time-saver during spring cleaning.  Go to Tip Detail

Did I wear these this year?

When I am ready to change seasonal clothing I wash them and hang them on a hanger. I put them back into the closet but I hang the hangers backward. The following year if there are any hangers that are still backwards I know that I haven't worn them and they can go into the Goodwill bag.  Go to Tip Detail

I keep a container of baby wipes in my bathroom and when I have to go I wipe the sink and commode with those. I save time on cleaning that way. When I do clean in there it is easier to clean. You can also keep windex wipes to wipe down mirrors and sink backsplashes.  Go to Tip Detail

Used toilet paper roll storage

I accidentally discovered a great way to compact and store used toilet paper rolls in my bathrooms. I use an empty Kleenex box and as the rolls are used up, I flatten them and store them in the empty box. It is convenient, attractive and I end up with a 'brick' of cardboard rolls ready to recycle.  Go to Tip Detail
