Directions: 1 Heat 12 oz. of vinegar in microwave until hot and pour into squirt bottle. 2 Add 12 oz. of Dawn soap. Put the lid on and gently shake to incorporate. 3 You now have a powerful cleaning product that will melt soap scum and tub and shower buildup, clean sinks, appliances and just about anything. Just spray it on, scrub, rinse and be amazed. For tough soap scum build-up, spray the mixture on and allow it to sit as long as overnight. Then, scrub and rinse.

Use tape to measure distance between the two holes, then put the tape on the wall. Smart and simple!

Dip the tip of an empty Swiffer Wetjet solution bottle into boiling water for about 10 seconds and the lid twists off (use a towel). Refill with your preferred cleaning solution at appropriate dilution and re-cap.

Homemade Dishwasher Detergent 1 Cup of Borax 1 Cup Baking Soda (I used Washing Soda) 1/2 Cup Kosher Salt 1/2 Cup Citric Acid (You can purchase "Fresh Fruit" in the canning isle. It is a produce protector or you can puchase 15 packets of lemon Kool-aid, the unsweetened kind, and that works as well.) Mix all ingredients in a container and voila! dshwasher detergent! Use 1 Tbsp per load PLUS add some vinegar to the rinse aid portion of your dishwasher (this keeps the plastic from getting a cloudy look) and wash away!

Travel Tip: A throwaway shower cap is the perfect "shoe bag" when traveling. The cap keeps the dirty soles off your clothes in the suitcase, yet takes up no additional room.

arrange your frames; flip them over; tape together wax paper; lay wax paper over frames; mark where the frame hangers are/the outlines of the frames; tape the wax paper to the wall, making sure it's level; ......how genius is this?!?

Adhesive tile spruces up storage areas. When the floor of your sink cabinet needs a spruce-up, lay down squares of self-adhesive vinyl tile. They're about a buck a square at home centers and provide an easy-to-wipe clean surface.

Use tension curtain rods as dividers for cupboard shelves. Great idea for cutting boards and serving plates.

i need to do this! Slip-proof your rug: To give an area rug some traction, flip it over, and apply lines of acrylic-latex caulk every 6 inches or so. Once dry, you can safely put down your rug; the rubbery strips will hold it in place...via Martha.

Use stir sticks to recall your paint colors. Write paint name and number on end of stick, along with what you painted. Bundle with sticks with twine. GREAT idea...

Love this tip (soak old paintbrush in hot vinegar for 30 minutes and good as new).
