Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
Line a small dish with aluminum foil, a hand full of baking soda, toss in your silver and top with boiling water. It instantly removes tarnish chemically free. Worth a try!
Use a rubber band to remove a stripped screw. SMART!

Seriously clever! A headlamp around a gallon of water = ambient light for your tent and a great night lamp when the power is out.

As a reminder of what can't go in the dryer. This would be especially useful if someone else is likely to put stuff in the dryer for you. Which, sadly, is not my problem.

Old belts for straps. I've got a purse I love with really decrepit handles - I wonder if the cobbler would replace them with an old belt for me!

QUITE Brilliant! - Seal a plastic bag with the top of a water bottle or any plastic bottle and the lid. The problem here, though, is that the chocolate chips will now be that much harder to get to.

I've got some funky-smelling kitchen towels. I'm close to breaking out the bleach in desperation, but I'll give this a go first. Use baking soda and vinegar to fix funky towels. Over time, and with many washes, your bath towels will build up detergent and fabric softener residue, leaving them both unable to absorb as much water and smelling kinda funky when they do. Rather than give Target another lump sum, run them through the wash once with hot water and a cup of vinegar, then again with hot water and a half-cup of baking soda, as wikiHow suggests. That strips the residue from them, leaves them smelling fairly fresh again, and makes your post-shower experience a dryer one,

Instead of using a bed skirt, cover the box spring with a matching fitted sheet! Why, exactly, has this never occurred to me?

Replace a broken blender jar with a regular-mouth mason jar. Nifty!
You can mail anything that will take a stamp and weighs less than 13 oz -- without a stamp. Really??

How to use a piece of paper to check for a leaky fridge seal. (Must do this - our PG&E bill is my archnemesis.)
This sounds entirely too good to be true. But maybe worth a shot? TIP FOR KEEPING BERRIES FROM GOING MOLDY!! When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider probably work best) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted I find you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of the fruit, and voila! Raspberries will last a week or more, and I've had strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft.

Really? Cool stuff, if it works: The next time you have green onions, don't throw away the white ends. Simply submerge them in a glass of water and place them in a sunny window. Your onions will begin to grow almost immediately and can be harvested almost indefinitely.

Rub chalk onto greasy stains and the chalk powder will absorb the grease, making the stain easily removable by the laundry soap in the wash. If this actually *works,* it will revolutionize my laundry life.

Cute idea! Any excuse to use a mason jar is a good one in my book.
