Buttermilk or Sour Milk

If your recipe calls for Buttermilk or Sour Milk you can add a teaspoon of vinger or lemon to one glass of liquid and accomplish the same thing.

Cobwebs

Take one of your little floor mops and wrap a couple of dryer sheets around it. You can reach high places and it will remove dust or cobwebs that you have in the corners.

Windows

I have spent the last few weeks cleaning all the windows in my house. I've learned alot in doing this, you can get hard water deposits off of your windows if you will fill a spray bottle full of white vinegar and of course one with your ammonia. I put 2 tbsp. of ammonia to 1 pint of water. You can also add about the same amount of white vinegar to the ammonia if you have no hard water deposits. It is also great for any crome around the house or mirrors. Saves a lot of time.

Clean black scuff marks off your floor

My son just got home from Russia. My husband was talking about how difficult it is to get scuff marks off the stairs he was having to clean. My son piped up and said, that is easy. Just use a tennis ball. He said they attach them to the end of a stick in Russia and they rub their floors with them. It will take the marks right off. I wonder if you can do this same thing on your doors. I will have to try it.
