Tips & tricks to make your household tasks easier …

? Broken Glass – All you need to do to pick up the shards is press a piece of bread over the area. That’s about as hassle-free as it gets.
? Repel Dust With Dryer Sheets – It’s true, cleaning your dusty surfaces with these bad boys will actually protect the surface from dust in the future. Static electricity rocks!
? Clean Your Shower Head With Vinegar – Put distilled white vinegar in a plastic bag and cover your shower head with it. Leave it overnight and wipe away the grime in the morning.
? Un-Burn Your Pans – Fill your blackened pan with a shallow layer of water and add 1 cup of white vinegar. Let it warm up on the stove for a few minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of baking soda once you take it off. Try scrubbing it now.
? The Ultimate Ceiling Fan Cleaner – By throwing a pillowcase over each individual fan blade and then pulling it off, the dust will actually get trapped inside the pillowcase rather than falling on the floor.
? Quick Silver – To polish silverware, line a large pan with aluminum foil. Fill it with hot water, ½ cup of salt, and ½ cup of baking soda. Soak the silver 30 minutes and then wipe dry.
? Sanitize Your Sponge – Toss your used kitchen sponge in the microwave for a couple of minutes. When it comes out, 99% of the germs collected on it will be dead.
? Get Rid Of Stains On Glass Bakeware – All it takes is a little scrubbing using a ball of aluminum foil that’s been covered with a bit of dish soap.
? Dry Shoes Fast – After a rainstorm just stuff your shoes with newspapers and a small bag of uncooked rice. They’ll be dry in no time!
? Ultimate Mattress Cleaner – Fill a spray bottle with vodka and spray it lightly across the sleeping surface. After it air dries it will have removed odors and killed most of the bacteria.
