Saving Money on Electronics & Appliances
Develop the habit of turning off television, appliances, and electric lights when they are not being used. Otherwise you will be wasting costly kilowatts. And in warm weather lights and television sets add to the heat problem.
Reduce Fireplace Drafts
Close the damper when the fireplace is not in use. A scrap of plywood propped against the opening will also conserve heat.
Removing Fabric Odors
Spray a solution of 1 part vodka and 1 part water onto fabrics to remove tough odors.
Easier Juicing
For more juice, hold an orange or lemon under hot water for a minute before juicing it.
Reheating Pizza Tip
When reheating pizza or other baked goodies in a microwave, place a small cup of water with the food. It will help to keep the food moist.
