Home Remedies
Question: Home Remedies??? List your favorite home remedies here!!!
Answer: A sealed envelope - put in the freezer for a few hours,
then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed.
(hmmmmmm...)
============================================
Use empty toilet paper rolls to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat
and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.
=================================================
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn
dishwashing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't refreeze.
(Wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)
=================================================
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a
few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax
will fall out.

Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in
baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).
=================================================
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!)
....rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
=================================================
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of
scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away
rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be
much more economical. And now a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In
fact, I have noticed that the scissors get sharpened this way!
=================================================
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide
on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time!
Now, where to put the body? LOL
=================================================
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside
windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks. Straight vinegar
will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a sunny day.
They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.
=================================================
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely
light scent in each room when the light is turned on.
=================================================
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell
freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and
linens.
================================================
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3
hours prior to burning.
================================================
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the
flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and
leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!
=================================================
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two
of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil
on stovetop.
================================================
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato
based sauces and there won't be any stains.
================================================
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will
keep for weeks.
================================================
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar (no salt) to help bring
out the corn's natural sweetness.
================================================
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your
forehead. The throbbing will go away.
================================================
Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future
use in casseroles and sauces.
Leftover wine? What's that?!
:)================================================ To get rid of itch from
mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience
instant relief.
================================================
Ants, ants, everywhere .... Well, they are said to never cross a chalk
line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants
tend to march. See for yourself.
================================================
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still,
leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
================================================
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, then
pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
================================================
Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer.
================================================
Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes,
brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous

immerse the jewelry for two minutes.
=================================================
Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka
Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
================================================
Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets
down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few
minutes, then run the hot water

Question: Are there any home remedies for getting rid of flys attacking a dog's ears? We have a Husky that has flies that are attacking our dog's ears. His fur and flesh are raw and missing. They're getting bad and we need a home remedy to help get rid of them. They're just getting him and not the other dog we have. (chihuahua)
We bought an over the counter medicine for him especially for that but it didn't do anything. Sometimes home remedies work better than medication.
Answer: go to vet and get an ear mite medication. its designed to limit the dirt in the ear canal, which can cause a nasty odor if left unkempt. so if the animal has a slight odor
that's cause for ear infections which in this event attracts gnats and biting fly. I'd get them looked at, the vet can explain further.
good luck

Question: What is some home remedies for coughing from allergies? What is some home remedies for coughing from allergies?
What are some home remedies for a cough? I am taking Sudafead PE which helped break the stuff up but when i get up in the morning I am coughing really bad and can barely breathe for my throat and stuff being coated with the drainage. What is some stuff I can use that is usually around the house?
Answer: Honey often helps.
Sudafed PE should not help, theoretically, as it is a decongestant (shrinks the swelling of the lining of your nose). If your cough is truly caused by allergies, a better choice would be loratidine (Claritin) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl).

Answer: Home Remedy for cat urine smell. This is a great recipe for removing cat urine odor from carpet. Start by blotting up as much of the urine as possible with old rags or paper towels. Next mix 3 parts water with one part vinegar and saturate the spot.Dry thoroughly using the same method mentioned above. Once dry, sprinkle the area with Baking Soda. Next mix ¾ cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution with one tsp. dish detergent and sprinkle over the Baking Soda. Try this first on a small inconspicuous area of the carpet to make sure the hydrogen peroxide won’t discolor your carpet. Next, use your fingers or an old brush to work the Baking Soda in. I’ve used an old hairbrush with little bits of plastic over the tips with good results. Allow this to dry and vacuum it up. If there’s still a slight odor when done, lather, rinse and repeat.

Question: What home remedies can I use for my dogs skin? My dog had a bad flea problem. We have FINALLY gotten rid of the stupid things but my dog still scratches and his skin is very red. He even has a few spots that are bleeding. He has lost some hair but the Vet told us that it will grow back. Are there any home remedies that I can use to soothe this poor guys itching?
Answer: there are no home remedies.
Your dog is suffering from flea bite allergies.. the fleas are gone, but the bites caused an allergic reaction.. your dog itches and scratches.. the skin is irritated, so it gets even more itchy.. its a vicious cycle.
Your best bet is to ask the vet about a cortizone shot to releive the itching and irritation.
