Ever got annoyed with cleaning oily cups? I know I have!
Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.

think it's cos the freezer freezes out the moisture in the sticky part.

ha ha ha ha ha... interesting.
Here's one for you.
Ever had the problem of getting lots of lint on your clothes? Especially when you wash your towels with your black pants or shirts?
Use a capful of vinegar (the cheap distilled kind will do) to your laundry. You will see that the static cling of the lint to your clothes will be reduced drastically!

Oh yeah... them distilled vinegar is very good to use. Ever since I found the uses for it at home, I am stuck to using it.
For cleaning the home, to mopping the floor, to doing the laundry!
It is a darn good and cheap cleaning agent!
In fact, used the vinegar so much, my soaps like floor detergent and window cleaners are being replaced at a rate of once in half a year!!
You should try it! One bottle is about $1.50 and can last the whole month!
