Y'all are so smart!
I can't wait to try this stuff; especially the one about the Mr. Clean wipes. OK here is what I found this morning at

TIP 1
Erasers can be used on your floors too. They'll remove black heel marks & on hardwood floors too.
TIP 2
Did you know ... that potatoes will take food stains off your fingers after your food preparations? Just slice and rub a raw potato on the stain and rinse in clear-cool water.

TIP 3
Even your washer needs to be washed once in a while. Run the machine on hot water, normal cycle, and add a bottle of vinegar to clean the soap film and scum that's built up inside.
TIP 4
Don't throw away ink stained clothing. A little ordinary hairspray will get it out. Just spray on the aerosol and rub the spot (s) with a coarse, dry cloth. Afterwards, launder the garment as you normally would. (Note: This one worked for me and I've also used the non- aerosol hairspray and a toothbrush, cleaned repeatedly, is also helpful.)
TIP 5
To soften brown sugar simply add a slice of soft bread to package, will be completely soft in few hours.
TIP 6
To keep the corners of your windowsills free of dust and moisture, rub a white candle into each corner of the sill.
TIP 7
To remove grease from wallpaper, apply baby powder to a clean powder puff, rub, and spot disappears.
TIP 8
Store tomatoes with stems pointed down and they will stay fresher longer.
TIP 9
Add a rib of celery to your bread bag and it will keep the bread fresher longer.
TIP 10
A shot of vodka added to a vase will keep your cut flowers fresher much longer.
TIP 11
To freshen up stale potpourri, spray with a little vodka, will revive immediately
TIP 12
Store plastic wrap in refrigerator -- it will prevent it from sticking.
