Question:  I accidentally washed a tissue with a load of clothes.  How can I get the lint off the dry clothes?

 

Answer:  Re-dry the load and add two fabric softener sheets.  The fabric softener will help release the tissue from the clothes.  Hang the clothes and use a clothes brush or masking tape to remove any remaining lint.

 

Question: My freezer is only partly full.  Should I fill the space with something?

 

Answer: A full freezer turns on less and costs less to run.  Fill the freezer with gallon jugs of water instead of leaving it partly full.  In case of a power outage, the frozen jugs will keep the freezer cold longer and prevent food from thawing.  When you need more space, just remove a jug.  Reminder:  Don’t fill the jugs too full.  Water expands as it freezes and could crack a jug.
