when my sink gets clogged i pour baking soda down the drain and then dump vinegar down the drain on top of the baking soda and most of the time it will "bubble" the clog out... I recently tried this on my tub it was just draining really slow but i noticed that eact time i done it it drained a little faster  i done it once a day for 3 days then it drained just fine   YAAY

I think that's a cool idea! Sometime's when you use a dry erase board they don't come clean every time. I like the idea Thanks!

I soak an old piece of scrap flannel in fabric softener, let it air dry and use as a dryer sheet. It works for about twenty loads. Cheap easy was to make the fabric softener last forever.

I am the queen of innovative uses for things, but this is a new one for me!  I love it! 

My parents use the liquid Coffeemate Creamer.  I run them on the bottom rack of the dishwasher to get them super clean, take off the plastic label and have a great food grade water bottle!  The top stays on and snaps shut, so it never gets lost and doesn't spill.  i also use them for all of my craft supplies like googly eyes and pom poms. You can see through them and they look nice- they are super clear with a bright red top.

We have a wonder washer too. I also found a commercial size salad spinner that I can fit what ever was in the wonder washer and get much of the water out. Also is hand crank so no electricity used for that either. Good old fashioned elbow grease.

I moved out of a FEMA camper and left a dryer sheet in the refrigerator. It's a nice deodorizer.
