chain email advice...

Analisa sent me a silly chain email... but I thought I would copy the things I am tempted to try. 
In short the email articulates a list of house hold remedies that you may have not know about...  

Below are some interesting ones! oh and p.s. the text below is exactly how the email was written (not my writing)


To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out. 

Blood stains on clothes?  Not to worry!  Just pour a little hydrogen
peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood.  Works
every time!  (Now, where to put the body?)     

Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for  inside  windows.  This way you can tell which side has the streaks.. Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean.  Don't wash windows on a sunny day.  They will dry too quickly and will probably streak. 

Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely a light scent in each room when the light is turned on. 

To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top. 

Wrap celery in aluminum foil
 when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks. 


Ants, ants, ants everywhere.  
Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line.  So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march.  See for yourself. 

Use air-freshener to clean mirrors.
  It does a good job and better still,
leaves a lovely smell to the shine. 

Clean a thermos bottle..  Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka
Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (Or longer, if necessary).
