Tips!

Here are some good household tips. One I need, the other I hope & pray I will never need!

Fruit flies! Ugh - they are worse in the summer, but I still seem to always have one or two that come in the house on my purchased fruit. Not Martha has this great tip I will try. I have tried sugar water & apple cider vinegar in the past, but it didn't really work that well. This tip looks like a sure thing.

SKUNK! I haven't seen any in our area, but have smelled them from time to time. I hope Remy never finds one! I've always heard tomato juice does the trick, but apparently that just masks the smell. Mythbusters tv tried out this formula & it seems to work well. I am definitely going to remember this (just in case!).

The last tip is from the Duggars (thanks for the reminder, Sarah!). Michelle Duggar uses white vinegar every once in a while in place of fabric softener. The vinegar cleans the machine hoses. I have tried this several times and the clothes come out smelling great, not vinegary at all.
