Household Tips
Crayon marks on walls? This worked
wonderfully! A damp rag dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little
effort (elbow grease, that is)!
Whenever I
purchase a box of SOS 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 SOS pads lasts me indefinitely! In fact, I
have noticed that the scissors get sharpened this way!
