Aluminum Foil as Glassware Scrubber To get baked-on food off a glass pan or an oven rack, use dishwashing liquid and a ball of foil in place of a steel-wool soap pad. It’s one way to recycle those used but perfectly good pieces of foil you hate to throw. Car Wax as Sink Polish Polish faucets, sinks, tile, even shower doors with Turtle Wax, which leaves behind a protective barrier against water and soap buildup, so your hard-earned sparkle will last past the next tooth-brushing. Chalk as Tarnish Prevention Slow the tarnish on your good silver by tying up a few moisture-absorbing pieces in cheesecloth and store them with your cutlery for shinier flatware that reflects well on you in no time flat. Dryer Sheet as Iron Cleaner Remove gunk from the soleplate of an iron. With the setting on low, rub the iron over the dryer sheet until the residue disappears, and you’re left with a pristine press.

The shells will scrape off the gunk you can’t get to, so you can save your elbow grease for the dinner dishes. Citrus Peel as Garbage Disposal Deodorizer Keep your disposal smelling fresh by dropping a few peels down the drain and flipping the switch.

Mustard Powder as Jar Deodorizer Deodorize smelly glass jars by washing them with a mixture of one teaspoon powdered mustard and one quart warm water. Onion as Basement Deodorizer Clear the air in a dank basement. Cut an onion in half, place it on a plate and leave it out overnight. Once the initial salad-bar aroma dissipates, you’ll have a fresh (non-oniony) atmosphere. Lemonade Kool-Aid as Dishwasher Cleaner Clean lime deposits and iron stains inside the dishwasher by pouring a packet of lemonade Kool-Aid (the only flavor that works) into the detergent cup and running the (empty) dishwasher.
