The More You Know

  • Want to dry out flowers quickly and easily? Just use the clips on a pants hanger to hold the stems of your flowers so they're hanging bulb down, and leave them in a cool, dry place to dehydrate.
  • Stop losing socks!. Stuff a strip of foam pipe insulation into the space between your washer and dryer or along the wall. That way, socks can't slip into the abyss.
  • If you've accidentally dripped candle wax onto your carpet, there is hope yet. First, put a paper bag down over the wax, then lightly go over the affected area with a steam iron. The steam will help lift the wax from the carpet and allow it to cling to the bag instead.
  • Anybody who eats boiled eggs knows the frustration of having one crack. Throwing a little vinegar into the boiling water will keep the egg whites from seeping out.
