Turn Dish Washer Off Before the Dry Cycle to Save Energy
Save energy costs by turning off your dishwasher after the rinse
cycle and before the dry cycle. Leave the dishwasher door
slightly ajar, and let your dishes air dry. You can dry with a
towel if you need them right away.

Getting the Last of a Can of Paint
To coax the last little bit of paint out of a can, use a church
key or can opener to punch a small hole in the side of the can
just below the lip. Now the paint will flow out instead of
gathering around the rim inside the can.

Re-Dye Lint Covered Black Clothes
When my knit black pants or dress get covered with lint, I don’t
throw them out. I simply buy some black dye, run through the
washing machine and, presto, I’m the only one that knows that the
lint has been dyed to match the clothing. Makes clothes look new
every time!
