Cotton Ball Cologne.


Saturate a cotton ball with your favourite cologne and drop it into the vacuum cleaner bag, As you vacuum around the room, the scent will be expressed and gently permeate the room.

Unclog Your Drain.

Slow drain bugging you all the time? Reach for the denture tablets. Drop a couple of tablets into the drain and run water until the problem clears. For even more stubborn clogs, drop 3 tablets down the sink, followed a cup of white vinegar and wait for a few minutes. Next, run hot water in the drain until the clog is gone.

Slide it!

To slide big pieces of furniture over a smooth floor, place small pieces of aluminium foil under the legs of the furniture. Make sure the dull side of the foil is facing downwards, as the dull side is actually more slippery than the shiny side.

Speed Ironing

A lot of the iron's heat is sucked up by the board itself when you iron clothing, thus requiring you to make several passes with the iron to remove wrinkles. To speed things up, put a piece of aluminium foil under your ironing board cover. The foil will reflect the heat back through the clothing, smoothing the wrinkles in a flash.

Pets Off..


Can't keep your pet's paws off your new couch? Place a piece of aluminium foil on the seat cushions. After trying to settle down on the noisy surface, your pet will no longer consider it a comfy place to snooze.

Shiny²..

Other than using the tea powder method, you can also use Alka-Seltzer to shine your jewelleries. Drop your dull-looking jewellery into a glass of fizzing Alka-Seltzer for a couple of minutes. It will sparkle and shine when you pull it out.

Splinters..Ouch!

Sometimes a splinter is too small or too deep to remove with tweezers. Fortunately, there are other ways too remove it. No, not digging it out with needles. All you need is an elastic adhesive plaster. Cover the splinter with adhesive plaster and leave it for about three days. Then, pull the plaster off, slowly, and the splinter should come out with it.

Shine Again!


After some time, jewelleries would tend to lose their shiny exterior. To make sure that they stay clean and shiny, take some tea powder and put it in hot water. When the water is warm, put the jeweleries into the water and leave it overnight. By the next day, they should regain their shine.

Veiny Legs?

Are veins on your legs so visible that they embarrass you? One of the many ways to counter this problem is by placing your feet up at a slightly higher position than your head when you go to sleep. You can also try soaking your feet in warm water for about 15 - 20 minutes everyday. Other than that, massage your feet to improve blood flow. This problem is common among pregnant women.
