Hello Everyone,

Every month or two, keep the pipes clear of grease, oil,
and hair clogs. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain,
followed by 1/2 cup white vinegar. The mixture will foam up. Let stand for a few minutes then pour boiling water down the drain to wash out any clogs.

Hint 1: Love burning votive candles, but hate struggling to get the remaining wax out of the holder? Me too! The trick I use is after burning the candle I stick the candle (with holder) inside the freezer for an hour, and when I take it out the candle easily slides out. But now I'm going to try this new trick below! And who knows I still may do the tip below and still pop them in the freezer.

Celebrating by candlelight? Spray the inside of a votive
holder with a thin coating before dropping in a tea light.
After the candle has burned down, the remaining wax will slip
out.

Hint 2:

Here?s an idea for all those eggs you hard-boiled: Use their broken eggshells to clean the hard-to-reach places in bottles and vases. Drop some crushed shells in the bottle, add warm water and a drop of dishwashing liquid, and give it a good swirl. The shells will scrape off the gunk you can?t get to, so you can save your elbow grease for the dinner dishes.
