Room Deodorizer - BY TIFFANY N.

Mix a small amount of your favourite essential oils into a spoonful of alcohol. (Surgical Spirit, Vodka or Methylated spirit). Add enough distilled water to fill your spritzer bottle, shake well - then spray around the house for a beautiful aroma.

Eucalyptus oil is magic for chasing away odors and leaves a refreshing scent. I use it as we have small children and inside pets. ( Please do not use eucalyptus oil if you have rabbits in the house.)

Limestone - BY JON S.
Use limestone when building your house. The limestone keeps the warm heat in and keeps outside heat from entering.
Cleaning Showers - BY JANICE
I find showers and tubs easier to clean if they are first soaked with hot water. Run the shower for 1-2 minutes before spraying on your cleaning product. I love "Greased Lightening" spray for both porcelain and fiberglass. Spray it on evenly and let it sit for about 3 minutes. All you have to do is wipe it with a clean lint free cloth.
Oil Stain Remover - BY RITA
One day my husband had dragged in car oil on his shoes onto my carpet and as I was trying to take it off my niece came in for a short visit and she could see I was trying to get out that stain. After I told her this was the third cleaner I was using and nothing took it off she replied "Aunt Rita use some shaving cream". I was amazed on the good job it did and after you rinse it out, it leaves a nice fresh smell. I have since (for many years now) told this to my friends, lots have used this and they just love it.
One friend of mine had lots of oils stain in the motor home on her carpet, she said to me after she used the shaving cream "Rita you just saved my marriage from a divorce."
I swear its very good on all oil stain on the carpet.
Clean Tiles - BY MARGIE H.
To keep tile in the bathroom or kitchen looking clean and stick free, use pledge. Pledge keeps grease and others from sticking to your tile and in the bathroom, it keeps hairspray, urine, and dust from sticking to your tile. Pledge also keeps it shining like new.
