From the newsletter of the Old Farmer's Almanac:
It's almost time for spring-cleaning, and we have some tips that will make your chores a breeze.
To remove white water spots on leather, cover them with a thick coat of petroleum jelly. Leave the petroleum jelly in place for about a day, then wipe it off with a soft cloth.
Here's a way to clean the filter in your dryer. First use an old toothbrush to remove any lint. Then soak the filter in vinegar overnight and rinse it with water.
Before you start to vacuum, put a few drops of lemon juice into the dust bag. It will make the house smell fresh.
Yellowed linens can be brightened with denture-cleaning tablets. Dissolve tablets (according to package directions) in a sink or washbasin of warm water. Add the stained linens and soak until the discoloration is gone. Wash as usual.

Hey Yuska, thanks for posting this. The denture tablets may be just the ticket for for my yellowed towels. It's worth a try anyway! |
