Home Hints for Easy Plant Watering and Care
An ice cube in each pot waters small plants without bending. Fold draperies lengthwise and hang over a padded coat hanger to store them without wrinkling. Clean piano keys with a cloth moistened by sour milk, then wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.
Liquid floor waxes benefit from a thin paste wax base
A thin coat of paste wax applied first yields a smoother, longer lasting finish when using liquid floor waxes. The paste layer fills surface imperfections and deepens shine, improving final results.
Measuring paint plan for tool handle stripes
Instructions describe painting a hoe handle with three red stripes at six inches, one foot, and three feet. The pattern serves as a simple measuring guide for spacing and laying out rows. The technique offers a handy built in ruler for garden work.
Pillow case wringer tip for preventing seam damage
A sewing tip advises pushing the closed ends of pillow cases through the wringer first to avoid a big bubble at the closed end. This prevents seams from breaking under water and air pressure.
Old Turkish towel used on ironing board for delicate work
A Turkish towel rests on the smaller end of an ironing board to smooth embroidery monograms and heavy seams. Laces also benefit from ironing on the towel, which protects fabrics and provides a stable surface.
