For markers used on hard surfaces such as desks or tables, use a toothbrush and toothpaste to rub it in until the mark disappears. Works wonders!0

To remove blood from clothes, make a paste of cornstarch and cold water and apply to the bloodstain. Let dry, then brush the paste off the clothes. Repeat if the stain isn't completely gone. I was wearing a pair of canvas shoes once and cut my heel and this took the blood right out of the shoe.0

IF you get a case of the protein poops, grab onto handle and push. :sick:
Note: To rid protein poops, add fiber :bigsmile:0 -
drop 3 or 4 denture cleaning tablets into a toilet, let sit awhile, then wipe away hard water rings or mineral deposit rings - works like a charm!0

If you get stung by a bee grab a onion cut a piece off and put on sting takes away the pain
Also blood comes out with peroxide dab on spot and it will come out0 -
TRICK FOR CLEANING PLASTIC DISHES
If you need to clean stains from plastic dishes, rub them
well with baking soda as you would if you were using a
scouring powder. you can use bleach to remove tea, coffee
and juice stains, but bleach ruins the finish of some
plastic dishes.0 -

to help w/ PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it
contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect
your mood.0 -
When making a roast chicken, prick 2 lemons with a fork and place in the cavity of the chicken while it is baking. It creates a really flavorful and juicy chicken.
And, putting your Thanksgiving turkey in a nice brine (like the apple cider brine I use) makes it almost impossible to dry it out.0 -

Lettuce loves fat: Fat can be removed from hot soup by
floating a large lettuce leaf on the surface. Remove and add
more leaves if necessary.0 -
My fav......
To clean your microwave.
Place 1/2 cup of water in the center, turn on for 3 minutes.
Be careful when removing as it will be boiling hot.
Use a glass sponge( a sponge on the end of a stick!) to clean out the inside
I am short and my micro is on a high shelf. It is so easy now to clean it!0 -

If someone has blood stains on their clothes, they've got bigger issues than laundry.
You are sooo funny.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Clean your toilet with flat coke0 -
In order to clean a burnt pot or pan, pour in some water mixed with apple cider vinegar and bring to a boil. The more burnt the pan - the more vinegar that will be needed. Works wonders!0

Also I have heard for a sting, that you can place a banana peel (inside) on it and it will alleviate the sting as well.
Co worker tried it and said that it worked.0 -
To de-skunkify a pet that's been sprayed, forget the tomato juice, rub toothpaste over the affected area/s, let sit, then rinse clean.
My dogs used to always get it in the face (we had a skunk family living under our shed when I was a kid), toothpaste ALWAYS worked. Paste, not gel.0 -
oooh! I have another one
Apply duct tape to planter's warts. Leave on for 2 weeks. (if it falls off in the shower, dry the area, then replace the tape) The wart will literally fall off. The lack of oxygen will kill it.0
