It's Good to Know...

~ Removing candle wax: from inside a holder, place it in the freezer for about 5-15 minutes. When you remove it, the wax will be brittle & literally fall off the candleholder.

~ Fruit Fly Trap: fill a small bowl w/red wine vinegar & a few drops of dish soap. Sit on windowsill near fruit; the fruit flies are attracted to it & drown.

~ Oven & Microwave Cleaning:

• Microwaves can be cleaned easily by putting a sponge soaked in white vinegar in the microwave & cooking it for 2 minutes. Don't open the microwave for about 5 minutes. The stuck on food should slide right off.
  
• For ovens use a shallow pan w/a couple of cups of white vinegar and NO SPONGE. Cook for 5-10 minutes & leave in the oven to cool for about 30 minutes. Food will slide right off.
  
• Squeeze lemon juice onto the sponge to keep it fresh - but to control germs, bleach it or run it through the dishwasher on a regular basis.
