Hello Everyone,

One of the main problems with cast iron pot and pans is that they rust easily. To stop cast iron pans or skillets from rusting protect them by storing them with a paper coffee filter inside. The coffee filter will absorb remaining moisture and help prevent the rust. Or if you stack smaller iron pots within larger ones, leave wax paper between them. The wax paper leaves a thin coat of wax on the pan and prevents air from interacting with the metal and any moisture.

Hint 2:

The next time your little one goes wild writing on your walls, pull out WD-40. This household product, that you usually use to stop squeaky hinges, also works brilliantly in removing crayon marks from most surfaces. Simple spray and wipe crayon right off. You may also want to wipe surface with a soapy rag to remove any oil residue.
