Hint 1: Screens can be a pain in the butt to clean, so when I saw this tip I couldn't resist to run it. I'm super excited to try it!

Use a rough dry paint roller to clean dirty window screens.
This will remove all of the dust, lint and dirt on the
screen.



Hint 2:

To clean silver without a lot of elbow-grease, line a
heatproof glass container with aluminum foil, shiny side
up, add one heaping tablespoon of baking soda, and pour
in enough boiling water to cover the item(s). The tarnish
will collect on the foil. Remove the piece, rinse it
thoroughly, and polish it with a soft cloth.
