To clean the ring around your toilets water edge, pour a cup of vinegar in the toilet once a month, then do a thorough cleaning. After you clean, back the water out, turn off the water supply and dry the bowl. Apply a car wax that is petroleum distillate free and made with polymers (not carnauba wax). Spray it around the bowl and wipe to spread evenly. Wait 10 minutes and bring the water back in. Polymers make the surface slick so nothing sticks and cleaning the toilet is so much easier.

Who knew? Apparently Mr Clean Magic Erasers are just this stuff called Melamine Foam? You can buy it in bulk on Amazon for WAY less than Mr Clean brand name!
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 granite (or any countertop) shine and feel so smooth at a fraction of the price~I have loved it and use it on my appliances as well. Got this from Melissa at granvillehouse.blogspot. She is amazing!

Gotta try this....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.

To get rid of the nasty black gunk in your drain: 1. Put a pot of water to boil. 2. Meanwhile pour baking soda down the drain. Baking soda has the ability to neutralize fatty acids so it will work and eating away the grime while you are waiting for the water to boil. 3. Once the water has reached a rolling boil remove it from the stove and pour it down the drain. 4. Let the water and baking soda work at decomposing and sterilizing the grime for 10 minutes. 5. After 10 minutes has expired pour 1 cup of bleach down the drain to completely kill any remaining mildew or bacteria. Because we use our sinks multiple times on a daily basis I recommend repeating this process every few months. Repeating this process on a regular basis will keep the "creepy black stuff" from accumulating and clogging your sink. It will also keep the nasty mildew smell at bay. Too bad daddy already told me this
