I have a few more for you!!
Home Made Baby Wipes!
You will need:
Container with seal tight lid
1/2 roll of Bounty paper towels
2 Tablespoons of baby oil
2 Tablespoons of baby bath
2 cups of water
Instructions:
Cut the roll of paper towels in half. Remove cardboard center. Mix liquid ingredients, pour on top of paper towels, and pull first towel up. Each roll of towels makes 2 containers of wipes.
Bounty towels seem to work best. If you let the wipes sit a while, they will absorb the liquid.

Things that Salt can help with:
To help remove odors from garbage disposals, pour 1/2 cup of Morton Salt (or any salt) directly into the garbage disposal. Then, by running the disposal following manufacturer's directions, you'll send those odors down the drain!
use Salt to help remove wine stains from cotton fabric. Immediately pour enough salt directly on the stain to soak up the liquid. Immerse the fabric for 1/2 hour in cold water. Launder as usual.
To make pantyhose more resistant to runs, we've got the perfect solution. First, wash new pantyhose and allow to drip dry. Then mix two cups of Salt with one gallon of water and immerse pantyhose. Soak for three hours, rinse in cool water, and drip dry
Here's a sharp idea: remove rust from household tools by using Morton Salt and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Apply the paste to rusted area with a dry cloth and rub

Now you can cut the grass even when it's wet. Just spray the blades with vegetable oil. This way, the wet grass won't stick to the blades.

Pillow Refresher
Place two feather pillows (in their cases) into washer. Set on warm water and gentle cycle. Halfway through the cycle, flip the pillows. Now, you have to run the spin cycle twice to squeeze out all of the water. Toss into the dryer with a clean tennis shoe to prevent the feathers from bunching up.

Plastic Trash Bags
To keep plastic grocery bag clutter under control, stuff your bags into an empty kleenex box (the large size box). It's pretty and it also gives you easy access when you need a bag in a hurry.

Believe it or not, BRASSO (yes, the same Brasso that works so well on brass, copper, etc.) will do a great job on clear plastic items like watch crystals, motorcycle windshields, clock faces, any clear plastic. You just need a little bit on a soft cloth. Apply like you would to metal, don't rub too hard, let dry and wipe off with a clean soft cloth. The results are amazing.

Sharper Scissors
Take your dull scissors and cut through three layers of tin foil ten times. Cut some paper to test. Repeat if not sharp enough for you. Or... cut a sheet of medium-grade sand paper into small pieces!

Sink Stains
For dark stains, like rust, rub your sink with a paste made of Borax and lemon juice. Lighter stains can be removed simply by rubbing with a piece of cut lemon.
Sliding Glass Door Tracks
Clean the door tracks with furniture polish instead of a cleaner. It gets the tracks clean and the polish acts as a lubricant
To keep your fridge smelling fresh, dampen a cotton ball with vanilla flavoring and place in the back corner of your fridge. It soaks up the smell a fridge can sometimes get.
Out of WD40? Use non-stick vegetable spray!
FYI: Ants prefer not to walk through baby powder! and I used to use petrolium jelly around the base of my dogs water bowl-ants cant cross it!
