To keep candle wicks even, use finger nail clippers each
time you go to relight them. It also cuts down on your
candle burning black, which gives you an uneven scent.
This is much easier than trying to use a pair of scissors.
With a plastic shower curtain in the bathroom, the hooks
pull through the eye holes sometimes. I use a pool toy/raft
patch to fix it. Simply place the patch over the ripped eye
hole, and use a pointed object to make a small hole for
your hook to fit through.
To clean the inside of the microwave, add a bowl filled with
water and lemon juice. Cook in high 'til it boils. Let it sit for
15 min. The steam loosens food particles and the lemon
juice leaves a fresh smell.
An easy way to clean pleated lamp shades: once a week,
take a new paint brush and just brush each pleat. A small
paint brush is best because it gets down in the top and
bottom of each pleat.
A picnic cooler makes a great trunk for camp or camping.
Pack the clothes in a large picnic cooler and pack small
articles on the shelf of the cooler. The cooler is waterproof,
the handles make it easy to carry, and it makes a great
bench when camping.
