• Freshen up sheets and towels by placing perfume ads from magazines in your linen closet.

• Coat plastic containers with cooking spray before using to prevent foods like tomato sauce and chili from staining.

• Dilute leftover coffee with equal parts of water to use as a fertilizer on indoor and outdoor plants.

• Wipe your computer keyboard by wrapping a disinfecting cloth around a paperclip and running it between the keys. It’s thin enough to fit in the crevices and dirt, and crumbs stick to it.

• To get rid of weeds on a patio and walkway, pour white vinegar on them and they disappear in no time.

• To give your refrigerator a nice smell, place a cotton ball dipped in vanilla extract inside.
