Repelling Mosquitoes on Your Patio
If you want a green way to fight them, put out citronella candles or you can also use citronella oil. Just mix a few drops with sweet or almond oil and apply to the skin.

When Buying Kiddy Pools
If they are on sale, buy a couple. Your kids can splash in one outside and others can be used as storage for your children's toys. Slide them under the bed and toys are out of sight.

Hate the Gas Smell on Your Hands?
When you fill up your car at self-serve gas stations, your hands often smell like gas. To prevent it, keep several pairs of disposable gloves or sandwich bags in your glove box. Put them on before you gas up.

Reuse Aluminum Foil Pie and Cake Pans
Don't throw these out when all the crumbs are eaten. Instead you can cut them up into foil burner bibs for your stove top. Cheaper than buying new burner guards.

Coffee Burned on Bottom of Pot?
To get it off, pour table salt over the burned stuff, add a little water, and let sit for a while. The gunk should come loose and you can then wash the pot as you normally do.
