Advantages: saves money

Disadvantages: none

Here I have a few household tips for you as we all need to save money and help the environment:

Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or an ear-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.

No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.

Squirrels Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper.
The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a radiator or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrapping roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your underskirt and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress.

Steamy car windscreens?
Hate Steamy car windscreens? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car . When the windows steam, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelopes
If you seal an envelope and then realise you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.

Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2' with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of washing up liquid and mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornflour where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' but they can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
