yup

just in time for spring cleaning

bump

good ones, no doubt

A good buddy just sent this to me,it was the list I was trying to find.Thank God for friends.

 

 these did YOU know about?  
 
   A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a
   knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed.   (hmmmmmm..)
                                                ============
  Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them
  neat  and  you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.
                            ===========
  For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put
  Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't
  refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)
                         ==========
  To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for
  a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The
  wax  will  fall out.
                         ===========
  Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped
   in baking  soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).
                            ==========
  Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt
  BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
                         ============
  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. 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!  (Now, where to put the body?)    LOL
                       ==========
    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 sunny day.  They will dry t oo quickly and will probably streak.
                                   ============
  Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely
  light scent in each room when the light  is turned on.
                        ========
  Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell
  freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.
                                       =========
  Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least  3
  hours prior to burning.
                                              ======
  To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag an d add the
  flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt
  and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!
                    ============
  To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap
and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to   a boil on stove top.

                                        ===========
  Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring
  in  tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.

                                        ===========
  Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

                                        =============
  When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the
  corn's natural sweetness
                                     ===============
   Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your
   forehead.   The throbbing will go away.
                                       =============
   Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for  future
    use  in casseroles and sauces ........  Left over wine? What's that? :)
                                       =============
  To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area
 and  you will experience instant relief.
                                        ============
  Ants, ants, ants everywhere ... Well, they are said to never cross a chalk  line. So,
get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.
                        ============
  Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still,
  leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
                         ===========
  When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
  tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and
  then  pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
                                                  =====
  Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer........  Clean a toilet.
  Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush.
  The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China
                                             ========
  Clean a vase.
  To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water
  and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
                      =============
  Polish jewelry.
  Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the
   jewelry  for two minutes.
                                  ==============
   Clean a thermos bottle.
   Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak
   for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
                       ===========
   Unclog a drain.
   Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the
   drain  followed by a cup of  Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes,
   and then run the hot water.
                   ================
   Do your friends a favor. Pass this timely (and some not-so-timely)
   information on to a friend!  I just did.

Makes you wonder about ingesting Alka Seltzer, doesn't it? 
              

I think i read those somewhere before, LOL.

I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do ( probably nothing ) until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew?
Water Displacement #40 . The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts . WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.
The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.
When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
Here are some of the uses
1) Protects silver from tarnishing.
2) Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4) Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.
5) Keeps flies off cows.
6) Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7) Removes lipstick stains.
8) Loosens stubborn zippers.

16) Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes
18) It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21) Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers.

29) Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.
30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31) Removes splattered grease on stove.
32) Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35) Removes all traces of duct tape.
36) Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37) Florida 's favorite use is: "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers."
38) The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in
mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.
P. P. S. I keep a can of WD-40 in my kitchen cabinet over the stove.
It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned
feeling away and heals with NO scarring
