Rehydrating Dry Cleansing Wipes?
I dont see why you couldnt. Ive done it with baby wipes (using them for wiping off stamps for my scrapbooking). The chemicals will still be on the cloths. They may be a slight bit diluted this time around, but Ill bet theyll still work.
Secure Your Credit Card
I would check with the credit card company to see if thats ok with them. I would hate to shop at a store and be denied buying anything because that number is missing, as if the card might be a stolen one.
Peroxide Turned White Shirt Yellow?
You might check out Rit Dye. They make a product that takes all color out of an item, rendering it completely white. If your blouse has any colors on it though, it would also take these colors out. Ive never tried it yet, but I want to, on some stained white...
Removing Petroleum Based Solvent Odor from Clothing?
We have a liquid product in the U.S. called Lestoil, made by the Clorox Company, that gets out oil, tar, and grease stains. I would think doing your laundry with this product would take the smell out, since it works on petroleum products. This product is found...
Good Chocolate Recipes?
This isnt a recipe but is a tried-and-true tip for softening any type of cookie: place a piece of bread in your sealed container of cookies. The moisture in the bread transfers to the cookies! Yum! (Works to soften brown sugar, too!)
Uses for Old Tablecloths?
We have leaf pick-up by our city in the fall, so we use an old tablecloth to rake the leaves onto (shiny side down to make it slide easily across the ground), then pull it out to the curb for pick-up. We have also used it as a dropcloth.
Cooking for One?
I subscribe to an email newsletter called allrecipes.com and if you go to their website you can find delicious recipes and they can be changed to suit different sized servings, including for one person. Underneath the recipe is a box where you put in the number...
Keeping Fingerprints off Mirrored Cabinets
(Ive tried the shaving cream idea and it streaked and left such a film that I had a TERRIBLE time getting it off!)
50th Anniversary Party For The In-Laws?
We celebrated my in-laws 50th last year and took them to a nice restaurant--one of their favorites-- and paid for their meal. We all chipped in for a cake and a scrapbook was made for them. You can get a really nice one at Big Lots right now and all you have...
Sending Flowers Long Distance
I tried this when my mother-in-law was in the hospital, in that I called a local florist in the town where her hospital was. I charged it to my credit card and when I got the statement from the florist, I saw they still charged me some kind of FTD charge!!!
Cleaning Cooking Oil Out Of A Crystal Holder?
Polident or Efferdent (for false teeth) tablets work great. And work especially well on narrow necked bottles/vases that you cant stick a brush down inside in order to clean. Just fill the bottle with water and add the tablet and let it sit. It will do all...
Ink Spot On New Couch?
My girlfriend babysits and one of the kids drew on her cloth-covered couch with ink pen. She bought something called Awesome all purpose concentrated cleaner for $1.00 at the Family Dollar store (Dollar Tree has it, too). Its a yellow liquid in a clear spray...
Can't Find Matching Bedspread and Sheets?
Another good place to find your hot pink and lime colors is at Domestications.com in the Kids bedding section. They have cute stuff and are pretty reasonably priced--less expensive than Penneys.
Removing Hair From Hairbrushes?
I soak my brushes in ammonia and water, too, in the bathroom sink. I just use a comb that Im also cleaning at the time (!) and pass it thru the brush to get out the hair. Then pull the hair off the comb or brush with your hand. This can be done when theyre...

Looking in a pest control book for an answer, my husband (whos getting his Masters Degree in Entomology--insects) found the following information. First, the book recommended using an INDUSTRIAL GRADE vacuum cleaner. Possibly try checking with a Pest Control...
Vinegar For Odors After Cooking Fish
My mom used to do this but used ammonia when she served fish or pizza (my dad hated the smell of pizza!). She would set a teacup of ammonia in the middle of the table to deodorize the area. Beware though, if you have small children! When I was young I crawled...
Gasoline Smell on Nylon Jogging Pants?
I would think that washing them using Lestoil would work. Its supposed to clean greasy, grimy, smelly work clothes, so I would think that would do the trick.
