Hello Everyone,

Grow an aloe vera plant in a pot near the kitchen door. Break
off a leaf and apply the juice for the best-ever relief from
burns or insect bites. The plant will grow and proliferate
with little care apart from some occasional watering. It's
a natural remedy, virtually free, and unequalled for burns
from stove or iron.

Hint 1: Having an issue with squeaky door hinges? The solution is right here and it's easy...

Spray a little WD-40 onto the hinges, moving the door back
and forth to work in the lubricant. Or try rubbing the hinges
with petroleum jelly. If these tricks don't work, lift the hinge pins about halfway and lubricate them with three-in-one oil, using a rag to catch drips.

Hint 2:

Scuff marks caused by shoes on vinyl floors, which usually
take hard scrubbing to get off, can be easily removed by
wiping with a small quantity of eucalyptus oil on a paper
towel.
