Tips & Tricks Tuesday

Feel free to use these on your blog. Please provide a link back to me :)
5 Things to do With Alka-Seltzer:

1.  Scrub the toilet ~ Twice a week, drop two tablets into the bowl;  let it sit for 15 minutes, then do a once around with the toilet brush.

2.  Make an all-purpose cleaner ~ Drop three tablets into 8 oz. of warm water.  Once the fizzing stops, you can wipe down tiles, tubs and counters.

3.  Deep clean vases ~ Fill with warm water and drop two tablets in.  Let soak for an hour to remove stains you can't reach.

4.  Safely unclog a drain ~ Drop three tablets into the drain and run hot water for a few seconds - the hotter the water, the more fizzing - Let sit for 15 minutes.

5.  Build rockets for the kids ~ Go outside with an empty film canister, filled half way with warm water and drop in a half tablet.  Snap on the lid and place the canister lid down.  Take a step back and watch it launch!

  2. I use Polident (my mother's), not mine in the toilet bowl from time to time, well I used to when we lived in FL, and she left a supply in the bathroom medicine cabinet for when she visited.

  3. Good tip, I wouldn't have thought to use Polident.
