• Food stains are hard to remove in plastic storage containers. Mix baking soda and water to form a paste and rub unto stain. Rinse with vinegar and wash as you normally would. Another method is to place it under the sun. The sun will bleach out the stain.
  

• There are always bundles of soft photos that haven’t yet been placed in an album. Don’t try and pull them apart if they get struck together, you might end up ruining the pictures. With a hair dryer on low, slowly pull the photos apart.
  

• You can still use some of last year’s supplies! If glue becomes hardened in the bottle, add a little vinegar to soften and dissolve it.
  

• When the glue won’t come off after you’ve peeled off paper labels or price stickers from glass ware, rub cooking oil onto the glue with a paper towel. Repeat the process and the glasses will be as slick as a whistle.
  

• Add a cup of liquid bleach to the warm water in your washing machine when you are washing a plastic shower curtain to remove all mildew. Remove the curtain at the end of the wash cycle and hang it to drip dry on the shower rod.
