Dishwasher Detergent

I have a stainless steel dishwasher and some times the cups and dishes are really cloudy. I know you can buy jet dry but it is expensive. I have found that a clothes softer does amazing. I just use the white king and put about 1 tbsp. in. It works very well. I use it for a couple of times then stop using it. Let my dishwasher run without it until it starts to get cloudy again. Then I add it for a few days again. You will love it.

Making Fruit Leather

I have been making a lot of apricot leather lately. I have found that if you use honey or Karo syrup to sweeten your leather with, it will make it nice and soft. Sugar tends to make it brittle. Also I had about 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. of lemon or about 1/4 cup pineapple juice to help it keep that wonderful orange color. I add about 1/4 cup of honey or more according to your taste. It is tart but very delicious. I put it on my tampoline to dry on cookie sheets that are lined with plasic wrap. I put two long sheets of plastic wrap on the sheet and make sure they are stuck together in the center or at least laying over each other well. I blanch my apricots and the skin slids right off. If the skin doesn't come off I use them with the skin on. They can only give more fiber to the body. Then I put it in my blender and blend it with everything I add, then pour it on the cookie sheets. Good luck in making some beautiful leather.

Save On Cilantro and Parsley

I find that I can put cilantro and parsley in the freezer when have used what I need. Because I can cook with them or put them in dressings right out of the freezer. It is a great way to preserve the great flavor of each of these wondeful herbs.

Stains.

I have found that they no longer make detergents with phosphates. You need to mix a little dishwashing detergent with water and lay your shirt in it. Don't leave it to long because it will cause the shirt to be really white, whiter than a white shirt. You will hate it and wish you had not donte it. So only leave it for about 5 hours. After a while you need to rub some napha soap on it and scrub it for a minute between two hands. Leave for another 1/2 hour. Then take some soda and hydrogen preoxide and make a paste with them. You rub that into the stain good, then let the shirt sit in the mixture over night. It takes everything out.

Yellow Stains Under the Arms

After much experimentation I found the solution to the Stains we all have. If any of you need this just let me know. I can share it.

Lice

I have the solution for getting rid of lice. If anyone out there needs this solution, make a comment. It is done with simple house items. I discovered it while living in Florida, because we had such a problem.

Cleaning Solution For Mold

My daughter just moved into a new apartment. She opened the refrigerator and there was mold growing inside. I know how upsetting that can be. I use to live in Florida and there was mold growing in my shower weekly so I used this little tip. Mix 1/2 cup of vinegar to 1/2 cup of bleach in 1 quart of water. You can cut it in half if you would like. Put it in a spray bottle and quickly squirt on the effected area. Leave for 1/2 hour then go back and whip it right off. I loved this, it saved me a lot of time.
