Looking For A Helpful Household Hint?

If you’re looking for a helpful household hint you’ve come to the right place. This blog features a variety of household hints and will include new uses for old things as well as great household items that do double duty. This post in particular will focus on three common household items and how they can be used for more than one thing.

Baking Soda

One of my favourite household items is baking soda. In addition to being a great deodorizer it makes an awesome scouring powder. I simply sprinkle a little baking soda on my dirty casserole dishes and let sit for five minutes. Then all I have to do is scrub lightly and rinse.

Return Address Labels

Another favourite household item is return address labels. You know the kind that charities often mail out? In addition to using them on my Christmas card envelopes, I’ve got in the habit of sticking them on everything I don’t want to lose like Tupperware containers, my umbrella, my cell phone etc. They are also ideal for the inside cover any books I loan friends.

Dryer Sheets

My last favourite tip for today is the ever versatile dryer sheet. In addition to reducing static clean and softening clothes in my dryer, they are ideal for getting odours out of smelly shoes and gym bags.
