Tip of the Day #61: DIY Air Freshner Refills

Save money by refilling your plug-in air freshners! Simply take the 'wick' part (hard sponge-like stopper) and fill halfway with your favourite essential oil, then fill the rest with water.

Tip of the Day #60: Paint Can Tip

Planning on renovating? Here's a tip when painting: Wrap a rubber band over the top of the open can and down under the bottom to secure it--this way, when there is excess paint on the brush, just rub it against the rubber band instead of making a big mess on the paint can!

Talk about RE-USING a product!!

I LOVE this and just had to share on my blog! Could be used for so many different things!

Tip of the Day #59: REPAIRING SCRATCHED DVDS & CDS

Scratched dvds and cds lying around your house? The best solution to repairing them is CHILDREN'S TOOTHPASTE! Normal toothpaste is too abrasive. Simply dab a few spots on, spread it to cover the entire area, then with your finger, rub in circular motions around the whole disc. Wipe off with a dry rag in circular motions again. This works on even the worst of scratches!

Tip of the Day #58: Mold Remover

Mold creeping up inside your home? Dip a scrubber sponge/brush in a bucket filled with a solution of 1/2 cup chlorine bleach, 1/2 cup powder laundry detergent and 1 gallon of water--then scrub the affected areas. Remember to rinse well afterwards with fresh water :)

Tip of the Day #56: Freshen Towels

Wash your towels with 1 cup vinegar in your washing machine, then run another cycle with 1/2 cup baking soda. They will smell 10 times better as over time, towels take on permanent musty scent. Try for yourself and notice the difference! :)

Tip of the Day #55: Cleaning Pillows

Every so often, place your pillows in the dryer with 2-3 tennis balls to return them to their original 'fluff state.' The high heat will also rid them of all germs.
