April Household Tips
by ZIA editor
• Hosting a special event using candles? Place the candles in the freezer for 3 hours prior to burning, and they'll last much longer.
• Tired of stained tupperware? Spray it with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato-based sauces to prevent staining.
• Ants marching through your kitchen? The supposedly never cross a chalk like, so get out your chalk and draw a line on the floor to stop the procession.
• Tiny splinter in your finger? Use scotch tape instead of tweezers or a needle. The tape will remove most splinters much more easily and painlessly.
• Bras breaking down in the wash? Toss your lingerie in a pillowcase and tie it shut, then toss it into the washer to keep it from wear-and-tear in the laundry.
