From your kitchen to a cure!

Stinky feet-Jello!

Kool Aid to clean dishwasher pipes. Just put in the detergent section and run a cycle, it will also clean a toilet.

Kool Aid can be used as a dye in paint also.

Pam will also remove paint, and grease from your hands! Keep a can in your garage and shop.

Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls.

Fleas in your carpet? 20 Mule Team Borax: sprinkle and let stand for 2-4 hours. Maybe this will work if you get them back again.

To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer, add a little Clorox or 2 Bayer Aspirin in the water. Or just use 7-UP instead of water.

When the doll clothes are hard to put on, sprinkle with cornstarch.

Heavy dandruff- rinse scalp with vinegar!

A slinky will hold toast and CD's.

To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with Colgate toothpaste and wipe clean.

Wine Stains-pour on the Morton salt and watch it absorb into the salt.

To remove wax- Iron a paper towel over the wax stain, the heat will cause the wax to absorb into the towel.

Body paint-Crisco mixed with food coloring. Heat the Crisco in the microwave, pour into an empty 35 mm film container and mix with the food color of your choice and allow to cool. 

Tie-dye T-shirts- Mix a solution of Kool Aid in a container, tie a rubber band around a section of the T-shirt and soak.

Remove labels off glassware etc. rub with peanut butter! WD 40 works good on this one too.

Bake-on food- Fill the container with water, put in a Bounce static remover and softener sheet. Soak overnight. The static from the Bounce towel will cause the baked on food to adhere to it. Also, you can use 2 Efferent tablets, soak overnight!

Dirty grout- Listerine

Stains on clothes- Colgate toothpaste   

Grass stains- Karo Syrup. Rub in, let soak and wash.
