Handy Housewife Hints

Laundry

 
Washing
  1. Blankets/Pillows/Throws/Duvets/Cushions etc need to be washed at least once a year so that dust mites do not survive.
Drying
 
  1. Put newspaper or soft paper in your wet shoes. The moisture will be absorbed quicker.
     


Stain Removal 

Clothes

  1. Any type of fat or grease spillage on your favourite clothes can be easily remedied if you rub the stain with a little salt, rinse it with water and leave to dry.

Bathroom

  1. You can easily remove calcium build-ups in the shower and tub with the help of vinegar or lemon juice.

Garden

  1. Cut flowers keep fresh longer if you add 1 tablespoon sugar in lukewarm water. Do not change water every day; just top up as needed.
  2. Roses love banana peel, which contain a lot of potassium. Cut banana peels into small pieces and spread them around the rose bush.
     

Pests

  1. Freshly milled pepper or chilli pepper, sprinkled around the edges of your garage will keep mice away.
