Don't scrub your glass cookware to clean off baked on food. The Magic Eraser (or knockoff) will remove it in seconds.

Long rolls of wrapping paper stored in a recycled cardboard box.

Wrapping Paper StorageCleaning out storage and closets and I found a whole bunch of wrapping paper that I didn't realize I had! To keep your wrapping paper neat and tidy, you can put them in a box. I used a Pampers wipes box and it fit a generous amount of wrapping paper ~ 16 rolls!

A dent caused by furniture in wall to wall carpet.

Toothbrush to Fluff Dented CarpetsSave your old toothbrushes. They will come handy if you need to fluff any dented carpets from old furniture or if you're moving! To fluff the carpet, move the toothbrush in all directions vertically, diagonally, horizontally and it'll help the carpet to fluff up again.

Cooking Oil for Sticky and Greasy AreasRemove sticky grease from appliances or walls easily. How? With the same oil that was used to cook and make the area sticky. No detergent, or heavy scrubbing. Hope you find this out too.

A bottle of dish soap and one of hydrogen peroxide to remove stains.

Remove Perspiration Stains on T-ShirtsI had a special marathon T-shirt that I needed to remove perspiration stains from and found this one worked for me! It had already been laundered, but the stains were still on it.

A bottle of Liquid Plumr to clear drains.

Why Some Repair Bills Do Not Have to Show UpI had a problem with my washing machine. The pipe that drained the dirty water was clogged, so dirty water was flowing out of it and into the bottom of the house. I have a home warranty but I also have "a guy." He comes over for $20, while the home warranty comes over for $100.

Busy Bees Event For Cleaning Your HouseWe have weekly family "Busy Bee" events. During the event all of us bees swarm into a room armed with cleaning supplies and bins for recycling and garbage, and follow the directions of the Queen or King Bee (usually the commander is the owner of the room).

Cleaning Sliding Door or Window TracksI use a toothbrush, Dow Foaming Bathroom cleaner, a spray bottle of plain water and a shop vac with the small auto detail attachment that narrows the opening down to about the size of your fingertip.

A toaster oven's crumb tray, covered in aluminum foil.

Line Toaster Oven PanI line my crumb tray/drip pan with aluminum foil. It makes it an easy breezy clean up if there are any crumbs, drips/spills - it'll be an easy clean up. No need to scrub the original crumb tray/drip pan.

Use Listerine as a Glass Cleaner - reflections in a mirror

Use Listerine as a Glass CleanerUse Listerine to clean glass. If you haven't tried it you should! I use this on glass, countertops, pet messes, and toilets. It's very inexpensive and all you need is a spray bottle with half Listerine and half water. You can use it liberally on any surface. It will not smear or leave streaks and has a pleasant smell.

A sheet over a made up guest bed in a bedroom.

Extra Sheet on Guest BedAfter washing the dusty spread on the bed in the spare bedroom, I thought about using one of the extra sheets, I have accumulated, to cover the bed to keep it from getting dusty.

A pair of yellow kitchen gloves, doubled up.

Double Your Kitchen GlovesI buy my kitchen gloves at the Dollar Tree. They never have a size small and they don't last as long as the other brands.
