			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tips from the Hair Shears Blog :</p>
<p>http://www.hairshearsblog.com/scissor-sharpening/how-many-of-these-did-you-know-about</p>
<p>A sealed envelope -<br />
Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap.<br />
The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm…)<br />
============================================<br />
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords.<br />
It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.<br />
============================================<br />
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dish washing liquid in it.<br />
Pour it all over the steps.<br />
They won&#8217;t refreeze.<br />
(wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)<br />
============================================<br />
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a few hours.<br />
Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down.<br />
The wax will fall out.<br />
=================================================<br />
Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda.<br />
Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).<br />
============================================<br />
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.<br />
=============================================<br />
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves.<br />
After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical.<br />
Now a box of SOS pads last me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get &#8217;sharpened&#8221; this way!<br />
=============================================<br />
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood.<br />
Works every time! (Now, where to put the body?) LOL<br />
=============================================<br />
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows.<br />
This way you can tell which side has the streaks.<br />
Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean.<br />
Don&#8217;t wash windows on a sunny day.<br />
They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.<br />
============================================<br />
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on.<br />
============================================<br />
Place fabric softner sheets it dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come.<br />
You can also do this with towels and linen.<br />
=============================================<br />
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.<br />
=============================================<br />
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers.<br />
Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!<br />
=============================================<br />
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.<br />
==============================================<br />
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won&#8217;t be any stains.<br />
=============================================<br />
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.<br />
=============================================<br />
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn&#8217;s natural sweetness .<br />
=============================================<br />
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your forehead.<br />
The throbbing will go away.<br />
=============================================<br />
Don&#8217;t throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces ……… Left over wine? What&#8217;s that?<br />
=============================================<br />
To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief.<br />
=============================================<br />
Ants, ants, ants ! everywhe re …<br />
Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line.<br />
So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march.<br />
See for yourself.<br />
============================================<br />
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors.<br />
It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.<br />
============================================<br />
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle.<br />
Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and then pull it off.<br />
Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.<br />
=====================================<br />
Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer…….<br />
Clean a toilet.<br />
Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush.<br />
The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China.<br />
============================================<br />
Clean a vase.<br />
To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.<br />
============================================<br />
Polish jewelry.<br />
Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes.<br />
=============================================<br />
Clean a thermos bottle.<br />
Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary).<br />
=============================================<br />
Unclog a drain.<br />
Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar.<br />
Wait a few minutes, and then run the hot water.<br />
=============================================<br />
Do your friends a favor.<br />
Pass this timely (and some not-so-timely) information on to a friend! I just did.<br />
Makes you wonder about ingesting Alka Seltzer, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
