CLEANING RECIPE

I was cleaning the bathroom the other day and was disappointed when I found out that I was out of Windex.  Because I so easily stop doing something like cleaning when I hit a minor wall, I decided to see if I could make a window/mirror cleaner with what I have at home.  Sure enough the internet is FULL of recipes.  Here is what I used because I had it on hand, AND it worked like a charm.

Glass/Mirror Cleaner
Combine in empty spray bottle:
-1/2 part water
-1/2 part white vinegar (on hand always for so many reasons from food to fabric softening)
-2 drops of Dawn dish soap (the perfect random-oily spot remover for laundry)

STATIC CLING TRICK

In Arizona it is no shocker that it is dry and dry equals static.  It gets dryer as the weather gets colder, and it seems like no matter how much fabric softener or dryer sheets I add, I am still zinging my family with my superhero static touch and the laundry is zinging me as well.  But I have found a perfect tip to relieve that static snap...foil.  Yes aluminum foil.  Just wad up a ball of aluminum foil and toss it in the dryer.  It will help reduce the static and lasts for about six months!  One thing, don't use this with delicate items that could snag.  Crazy!  Sorry, I get excited about the little things.
