Here’s a clever way to keep your clothes crisp and crease-free:

"If you find that your clothes get an extra crease from hanging them on a hanger. Take an empty paper towel cylinder and cut it lengthwise.

Place it over your hangers to eliminate the horizontal crease when hanging dress pants, table clothes, drapes etc."

You don’t have to rub teeth whitener all over your yellowed dishwasher to restore its former glory. Try this home recipe instead:

1/2 cup bleach, 1/4 cup baking soda and 4 cups of warm water. Apply with a sponge and let set for 10 minutes. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wax large appliances with car wax to make them shine and to remove small scratches.

Here’s an interesting suggestion for washing shower curtains:

“Toss a few old bath towels in the washing machine when you wash your shower curtains. The towels will rub back and forth against the curtain, which helps remove all traces of dirt and soap scum. Hang shower curtains back up right out of the washing machine. They will dry quickly and the wrinkles will fall right out. Most have at least some plastic on them that can melt in the dryer.”
