The best household hints I've gotten are from the
Haley's Hints series of books. This guy is like MacGyver, he can clean anything with stuff you already have in the house. Some of my favorites using pantyhose:
- Store potatoes and onions in pantyhose. Place a potato in the hose and tie a knot above it. Add another and tie a knot, repeat. To get the potato out, cut a slit in the hose. This keeps your potatoes aerated so they don't rot. When you need to add more potatoes, just slip them through the slit you made in the pantyhose.
At my house we store potatoes, shallots and onions this way. We hang the pantyhose on hooks in the pantry.
- Remove deodorant marks from your clothes using pantyhose. Just rub pantyhose on the marks and they will come right off!
On the subject of forum topics, I agree with RedRaven and Crys. We have too many forums that do not get frequent discussion. If a topic is getting a lot of discussion or threads made about it, then it may warrant its own forum. I also like the idea of consolidating topics like cats, dogs and horses into one "Pets & Animals" forum.
