wash towels in 1 Cup of vinegar on hot, then again with 1/2 cup of baking soda on hot. They will smell 10 times better...you don't realize how musty and gross they smell over time!

tina poulsen this has been my go-to tie method lately. love it
Tried this today! Like the results. Easy and quick and looks pretty good.
Reusable Swiffer dusters! Made from micro fleece, works even better than the disposables and they can be washed and reused over and over.
Counter Top Cleaner:Take a spray bottle, fill it about 1/8th full with rubbing alcohol, add a drop of Dawn dishwashing soap, a few drops of scented oil (optional, but makes it smell so good), fill the rest of the way with water, shake together, and you're good to go! It makes your countertop shine and feel so smooth at a fraction of the price. from Melissa at granvillehouse.bl...
How to paint laminate furniture (@Jennifer Dagg I'm feeling better about painting my ugly desk after reading this!)
Clean your shower and tubs (or tile) Instructions 1. Halve Grapefruit: 1 medium to large grapefruit will clean your entire bath or shower from top to bottom, including all the fixtures. Simply cut it in half with a knife and you'll be all set. 2. Sprinkle With Salt: Using 1 grapefruit half at a time, sprinkle liberally with salt. Wet your bathtub and sprinkle the remaining salt around the bottom. 3. Take That Scrubbing Bubbles!Scrub your grapefruit around your shower or tub, making sure to slightly "juice" the citrus over each fixture and lifting it every few seconds to pick up fresh salt from around the tub instead of just pushing it around. 4. Rinse: When all is said and done, simply rinse away the pulpy bits and the salt and your shower is as good as new. Not only is it clean, it will smell so fantastic you'll want to curl up in it and read a book. Ok, probably not, but you get the idea! Additional Notes: This technique will get thick grime and dirt rings off your shower area and does amazing work on cast iron tubs especially. You can also use this method to clean your sinks, toilets, tile and more — it just depends on how grapefruit crazy you want to get!

Starr Cliff Verdict: I feel like someone is playing a joke on me. I was all for not smelling up my bathroom with chemicals, but this method cleaned NOTHING and just left me with messy pulp to clean up. I'm sticking with my chemicals. Ha!
Fetching pins…
Starr Cliff 1/24/12 - this did not work on my cookie sheets. Tried letting 2 times; the second time I let it soak longer and put eveything I had into scrubbing with a kitchen brush and sponge. Those stains didn't budge!!! Darn.
