Got
Smells?
From
pet odor to cigarette smoke. In a room or inside your
car. These are great inexpensive tips that work!
Vanilla
Use
vanilla extract. Not imitation Vanilla, but real Vanilla.
Put a large amount on a piece of rag and throw it
under the car seat. It will draw the odor into the
rag. When it starts smelling again, use more vanilla.
It works!
Cinnamon
Delight
Mix
together the cheapest apple sauce and cheapest cinnamon
that you can find. Mix them together until you have
a really thick glob (like really thick bread dough).
It will take about 1/2 cup apple sauce and 1/4 cup
cinnamon. Roll it around to mix. Put it in an old
small margarine tub. Punch a few holes in the top
with a pen, then stick it under the seat in your car,
or on a table in a room.
This
is the same recipe used to make cinnamon Christmas
ornaments. I took some of the stuff with me in the
car and it rolled under a seat. When the heat kicks
in, or the car has been sitting in the sun, the whole
car has a great cozy cinnamon smell to it.
Vinegar - The
Miracle Product
1.
Unclog a drain: Dump 1 cup of baking soda down your
drain and follow it with 1 cup of vinegar. When they
mix, they foam and expand, cleaning your drain. Allow
a few minutes for the mixture to do it's job, then
flush with hot water for several minutes.
2.
Loosen food grime and clean the microwave: Place a
microwave-safe bowl with 2 cups water, 1/2 cup vinegar
inside the microwave and microwave on full power for
3-4 minutes (it needs to boil). Keep your microwave
closed for a few minutes to allow the steam to loosen
the grime, then open your microwave, carefully remove
the bowl, and wipe clean!
3.
Clean kitchen and bathroom faucets: Soak a paper towel
in vinegar then wrap it around your faucet to remove
mineral deposits.
4.
Remove residue and styling product build up from hair:
After shampooing, rinse your hair with a mixture of
1/2 vinegar, 1/2 warm water to remove all the build
up and get rid of that dullness.
5.
Spray your hands with a mist of vinegar, or dip them
in vinegar and dry after washing dishes or having
them in soapy water to keep your hands soft.
