RE: 'Spring Cleaning' Themed Church Event
PLEASE DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS OR PAPER FLOWERS!!! What a terrible thing to do when we really need to protect our environment! Why not go to Costco and buy packages of 36 microfiber cloths for the entire cleaning project? Tuck a single cloth into each person's water glass so it looks something like a flower? If the microfiber cloths are too much for your budget, go to a 'dollar store' and buy lots of wash cloths or "auto cleaning rags". They will work almost as well. If you'll take a basket along to gather the cloths AFTER cleanup, they can be washed and used over and over again. Mother Earth will thank you for your efforts. ... View related article.

RE: Renting an RV for a Vacation
Several years ago my husband and I went from SC to TX in a rented RV. We had a ball. It can get very pricey now that gas costs so much. The most important thing is to learn how to use all the gizmos for water, power, waste removal and such. Ask for instructions to carry with you in case you run out of propane for the heating or cooking! That was our only serious problem. I do recommend taking along several very short, extendable curtain rods for use in the fridge. These will prevent contents on shelves from sliding to the edge and falling out when the door is opened! RVers will gladly help you wherever you go. They're unbelievably friendly. Hope you have a super trip! ... View related article.

RE: Drying Extra Cilantro
This was a very timely hint for me because I had lots of cilantro left over after a dinner party last weekend. I, too, used parchment paper. The results were excellent!
Thanks for the tip. ... View related article.

RE: Best Window Cleaning Solution
My husband drives a cab and has to keep everything spotless! He says my home made solution works better than anything that comes from a store. Just a quick squirt of Dawn dishwashing liquid, 1/4 C white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of ammonia, and add water to make 24 ounces. He sprays it onto the glass while I spray it onto the cloth. Either way it works beautifully. ... View related article.

RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher
I make several pots of tea every day. The easiest way to clean the pots and pitchers is to sprinkle baking soda and salt inside then use a sponge [reserved just for this use] to wipe off all the stains. Use the hottest water from your faucet to thoroughly rinse. Everything is naturaland inexpensive, too. ... View related article.

RE: Removing Bugs From Your Car
My husband drives a cab that he has to clean after each ride. He asked me to make up my 'special' glass cleaner because it works better than the products the company had purchased. I mix a few drops of Dawn liquid dishwashing soap with about a tablespoon of ammonia, 1/4 cup of vinegar and water to fill a spray bottle that holds about 32 oz. Shake it before you spray it on. Leave it at least 2 minutes then use a rag to wipe it off. If you have a lot of bugs that have been there awhile, leave the spray on for 5-10 minutes before wiping. ... View related article.

RE: Dog Carrier Pattern
I don't have the pattern, but I have a wonderful Pom, too. Tiffany Colleen weighs 11 pounds and is gorgeous. She is super intelligent, too. I hope you get as much pleasure from your little darling as I do from mine! ... View related article.
