Show Page 9 FEBRUARY 15,2007 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER It Makes Smt By Veda Hale Worried about dirty stuffed toys harboring germs? Put two at a time in a pillowcase, close with a safety-pin and put in washer. They come out great. Did you know that a late payment can mean that credit card company can hike the interest? Be aware. 1 saw a friend get her dish scrubber caught in the garbage disposal and then need one to clean a pan, I remembered a hint that I used to use, one Vi Blake had told me about. Wad up a small piece of tin foil and use that to scrub off stubborn hardened food in pans. It works as welll as about anything and then you can just throw it away and not have to worry about it falling in the garbage disposal. Do you have difficulty getting a ziplog bag open? Take scissors and snip a fair sized "V" in one side of the top strip (don't cut into the 'sealer') and you will find it easy to gain access without the frustration. If you ever have to wash something by hand in strong bleach and then have the bleach smell linger on your hands, pour a little vinegar or lemon juice over them and rinse. The acid of vinegar or lemon will cancel the alkaline bleach. I have tried the hint of using safety pins to keep socks together in the wash. Yes, it did save some time putting them together, but I didn't find it saved me much time all told, maybe because I don't have a great amount of socks to deal with anymore. Certainly, using the safety pin idea might solve that mystery about the lost sock in about every laundry load when dealing with many socks. But what has helped me the most is to request my family to get in the habit of taking their socks off by pushing them down and then pulling them off at the toe. Finally, the habit has caught on and it does save me time because I don't have to turn a sock that is inside out. Subject: Save on cleaning Materials. The best thing for cleaning anything around the house is very hot water with a squirt of good quality washing up liquid, and a window cloth (the best one is a reasonably priced Vileda window cloth found in Wilkinsons for £ 1 -99). I like the water as hot as possible therefore I use rubber gloves, and ring out the cloth as much as possible. I use this for cleaning windows (in and out), mirrors, tiles, marble furniture, even the bedroom furniture, dusting around the house, car windows, anything that you might use cleaning products or polishes. Guaranteed not to leave smears. I haven't bought any cleaning products or polishes for about 8 years. — "A M" atennmQ^moZQlg&ahnspQQAQm 31 Jul 2003 Please send suggestions to Veda Hale, P.O.
