Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately
take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves.
After years of having to throw away rusted and unused
and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be
much more economical. And now a box of S.O.S pads last
me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the
scissors get sharpened this way!

Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a
little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to
wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time!

Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and
horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell
which side has the streaks. Straight vinegar will get
outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a

streak.

march. See for yourself.
