Practical Solutions to Everyday Household Problems

Christina Jones

Have you ever tried a home remedy?  Their effectiveness and simplicity are generally quite impressive.  Sometimes we have an old family trick, some silly way of solving a problem that our family does and no one else has heard of.  Here is a sort of collection of yours, mine, and ours ;-) Some seem sillier than others, but their effectiveness is certainly arguable.  I have collected this list of tricks for you to enjoy, and maybe we can all learn something new….

Celery for heartburn

If you have heartburn, and don’t have any antacid… try a piece of CELERY or two, kills heartburn almost instantly.  I didn’t believe it either, till I was desperate one evening and tried it myself!

Hairspray for flying insects

If you have problems with flying insects, such as flies or bees or hornets, you can spray them with hairspray and they will not be able to fly.  It doesn’t smell too bad either.

Freezer to open envelopes

If you ever wanted to open an envelope that wasn’t yours, you know you have to be really careful.  I have tried the steam trick and it works, but not quite as good as this….  Did you know you can just stick the envelope into the freezer for a few minutes, then you can slide a letter opener or a butter knife under the edge.  It is so clean, you can even reseal the envelope when you are done snooping.

Empty toilet paper roll for utility cords

If you have a cluttered cupboard, filled with cords that go to various appliances and have various uses, you can use an empty toilet paper roll and put the cords in it.  You can scrunch it around the cord to hold it tighter, and then you can write on the roll what use the cord has or which electrical appliance it goes to.

Dishwashing soap for frozen front steps

If you have a problem with your front door step always being slippery in the winter, then as soon as the temperature is dropping, put some dishwashing soap into a big bowl of warm water and pour it over your front doorstep.  The soap will not freeze, so your step will not be slippery.

Baking soda for crayon marks on wall

If you have little artists in your house, and they love to write on the wall with their crayons, then you know how hard it is to get crayon off the wall!  Next time try a damp rag and baking soda.  You will be surprised at how well this simple kitchen item will do with heavy cleaning.

Rubbing alcohol to remove permanent marker

If you have ever gotten Sharpy or black permanent marker on your countertop, then you know how fun that one can be.  Did you know that simple rubbing alcohol will break down the ink, and with very little scrubbing, the marker ink will just come right off!

Conserve scouring pads and sharpen scissors by cutting them

If you buy scrubbing pads for washing pots and pans, next time before you use them, cut them in half with a pair of scissors.  This will sharpen your scissors and also then you have twice as many scrubbing pads.

Hydrogen peroxide for blood stains

If you have ever had a trouble with getting blood stains out of your favorite clothes, try hydrogen peroxide and a damp towel.  You will be amazed when you see how the peroxide dissolves the stain.

Vinegar and other tips for washing windows

Here are a few tips on great window washing.  First of all, don’t wash your windows when the sun is beating down on your back!  This makes the cleaner dry too quickly and the windows will look all streaky.  The other tip is to wipe one way on the outside and the other on the inside, so you can tell which side the streak is on.  It can be maddening to try to tell the difference if you don’t follow this trick.  And one last, use just plain old vinegar to wash your glass.  It works best and cost less.

Perfume on light bulb for air freshener

To make your house smell amazing, try spraying just a tiny bit of your favorite body spray or perfume on a light bulb.  Now every time you come into the room and turn on the light, you will smell your wonderful perfume.

Dryer sheet in drawer for fresh clothes

To keep you laundry always smelly like it just came out of the dryer, put a dryer sheet in the drawer with your folded clothes.  Or add a dryer sheet between the towels in your hall closet.  It will smell good every time you open the door.  I love the smell of dryer sheets.  I took this a little farther and put one in my purse.  Now it smells lovely every time I open it.

Freeze candles before burning for longevity

If you are a candle burner like me, you always wish the candles would last longer.  I go through so many!  Well here’s a trick to make your candles take longer to burn down.  Put each candle in the freezer for a few hours before you light them up.  They will take twice as long to burn down, and the smelly ones last even longer.  You know how expensive these candles can be, so anything to make them last just a few more hours.

Salt in a bag to remove dust on fake flowers

If you have fake flowers in your house, and they are collecting dust all the time, you know how frustrating and time consuming it is to try to wipe each petal and each leaf.  If you want your fake flowers to stay looking like they’re real, put a bag over the flowers and pour in just plain old table salt.  Hold the bag closed around the stems and shake it around pretty hard, let the salt get all over, and then shake it off.  The salt absorbs the dust, and your flowers will look like you just picked them out of the garden!

Boil dishsoap and water in burnt pan for easy cleaning

If you have ever burned dinner really bad, you know how you dread washing that pan.  All that burned on food!  Yuck!  If you want a trick to make a little easier, then fill the pan with water, pour in some dish soap and boil it up.  Not only will it make your kitchen smell better than the burnt food, it will also force the burnt food to release from the bottom of the pan.  Neat trick, my teenage daughter really appreciates this one, as she is my official dishwasher.

Cooking spray to prevent staining plastic containers

If you use your microwave to warm things up all the time, you know how your food can ruin your plastic containers.  Warming up spaghetti sauce or raviolis, the bowl will always be slightly orange now.  So try this.  Put a bit of cooking spray on your plastic ware before you zap it in the microwave and then it won’t be that dull color of orange every time you reheat your spaghetti.

Egg substitution

If you are out of eggs, there are actually a few things you can do to keep the recipe on track.  For each egg you are missing, you can add one teaspoon of baking powder.  Or you can add one teaspoon of white distilled vinegar.  Or you can add 2 tsp of oil and 1 tsp of water, but this can lend to the recipe being a little runny if you do this substitution for several missing eggs, so you may want to sub one egg this way, and another with the baking powder way.

Egg replacement

What eggs really do for a recipe is to add moisture and liquid.  So when you are considering what to add in the place of eggs, consider adding some flavor by adding these other ideas.  Rather than substituting the missing egg with one of the suggestions above, try adding a half of a mashed up banana or a quarter cup of applesauce.  These add a lot of flavor while still adding the necessary moisture.

Baking powder substitution

If the recipe calls for baking powder, and you don’t have this in the cupboard, you can substitute a half teaspoon of cream of tartar, and a quarter teaspoon of baking soda.  Or you can add a half teaspoon baking soda and a half cup of sour milk (see next).  Or you can add four teaspoons of quick tapioca pudding dry mix.

Buttermilk from regular milk

To make sour milk, which I know this sounds funny, why would you ever WANT sour milk, but there are several recipes I have that call for this.  This is the same as when a recipe calls for buttermilk.  Maybe it’s an old-school thing, but at any rate, we have to know what to put.  All you do is take the approximate amount of milk, minus a couple tablespoons (room for what we are about to add) and then pour in one teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar.  Then you let it stand for a couple of minutes, and watch the milk turn.  It makes it look sort of separated, that’s when you know it’s ready.

Shiny cookie sheets for perfect cookies

Did you know that using new shiny cookie sheets is one of the keys to having the perfect cookie?  Old, burnt, or darkly colored cookie sheets absorb the heat and will cause your cookies to burn more easily.

Brown sugar from granulated sugar

If your recipe calls for brown sugar and you don’t have any, you can always add (for one cup of brown sugar) add one cup of white sugar, and ten three tablespoons of molasses.

Ketchup from tomato sauce

Ketchup is a pretty key ingredient in some of our favorite dishes, like meatloaf.  What if you are out of ketchup?  Mix this up in its place.  Take one half cup of tomato sauce, two tablespoons of sugar (or sugar substitute such as Splenda) and one tablespoon of vinegar.  Tastes just like a simple ketchup, especially good for baking since you’ll never be able to tell the difference.

Make ahead muffins

You can make a batter ahead and then in the morning, just warm up the oven to 400, and add a few fruity additions to your batter, bake and wake the kids up to the smell of fresh baked muffins.  A simple batter to start with is 2 cups of flour, one quarter cup sugar, 2 eggs, one cup of milk, one tablespoon baking powder, three-quarter teaspoon salt, half cup oil, and one and a half vanilla extract.

Try adding in one of the following: 3 teaspoon sugar and one teaspoon cinnamon  OR  one cup of blueberries and sprinkle with streusel (see next)  OR  one teaspoon lemon extract and two tablespoons poppy seeds  OR  one teaspoon cinnamon and one cup chopped apples  OR  one cup raisins and sprinkle tops with oatmeal  OR  one teaspoon of jam into center of each and sprinkle with slivered almonds OR  one smashed banana and a half cup of chocolate chip  OR  half cup of shredded coconut and quarter cup drained crushed pineapple.

Streusel topping

To make a simple streusel topping, which is delicious sprinkled onto sliced apples and baked, or any other simple crumb cake recipes, just combine in a large bowl a quarter cup of flour and a quarter cup of brown sugar and a half teaspoon cinnamon and two tablespoons cold, crumbled butter.

Cornstarch to thicken sauce

If you have to thicken a sauce without adding any flavor to it, take a couple tablespoons of cornstarch and a couple tablespoons of water and make a smooth combination, then pour into your gravy or sauce.  It will thicken as it cools.

Whole potato to cure over-seasoning soups

If you over salt or over pepper a sauce or a soup, to the point you wouldn’t even eat it, try this.  Chop a potato in half and stick either one or both halves into your sauce and let simmer for fifteen minutes at least.  The potato will absorb the excess seasoning, and you will still be able to have a wonderful meal.

Big freezer bags to organize leftover sauce packets

Put all your dry mix packets, cocoa packets, gravy mixes, etc. all in a transparent container like a big Tupperware or a gallon size zip lock freezer bag.   This will help keep your cupboards from being so cluttered.  I actually keep one big bag in my cupboard, but a different big bag in the fridge for my condiments that I rescue from fast food bags and save for emergency.

Bacon cooked on waffle iron for less grease

Next time you want to make bacon, try making it in the waffle iron (don’t forget a plate to catch the grease).  The waffle iron will cook the bacon from both sides and it will be done super quick and much less greasy.  I have also used a “Foreman” Panini grill and it works the same way.

Boil potatoes before peeling

If you love mashed potatoes like I do, but hate peeling spuds, then don’t.  Try this little trick instead.  Rinse the potatoes but don’t peel.  Boil them the appropriate time, and when they are done, drain the whole potatoes and put them into a bath of ice water.  The peel will come right off, grab potato with both hands and twist.  Watch the peel slip right off like magic.

Cake mix to flour pan when baking

Have you ever been out of flour and needed to flour a pan for baking a cake?  If you need to flour a pan for baking, you can use some of the batter mix from what you are baking, like a little of the cake mix instead of flour.  Not only will it taste delicious, it will also not have that pale white look on the outside of the cake from using plain flour.

Make celery last longer in the fridge

Do you like celery?  I do, and I seem to have a lot in my fridge hanging out around the holidays especially.  We make stuffing with it and have celery in trays with cheese spread on it.  Yum.  But how do you buy it ahead and keep it from going brown?  Did you know that you can just wrap some aluminum foil around it and it can last up to two weeks or more.

Sugar to corn on the cob

Corn on the cob is a family favorite at my house.  To accentuate the natural sweetness of the kernels, I drop in just a pinch of sugar when it’s coming to a boil.  Delicious!

Lime to cure headache

There are many cures for a little headache that are right at your fingertips when you are in your kitchen.  Have you ever heard of this one?  If you have a lime, then cut it into two, and rub the slice onto your forehead, and it is said to give instant relief.  Bye bye Tylenol.

Freeze wine into ice cubes for ease of use

Do you cook with wine?  This one is so simple and convenient.  Take the last of that bottle of wine, and freeze it into ice cube trays.  You will be able to just pop one out into the casserole you are cooking and voila! Instant yumminess!

Soap to cure itchy mosquito bites

Mosquitos are one of the worst things about summer.  This next piece of advice will help them not be quite so irritating.  If you apply a heavy amount of soap to the itchy spot, you will experience instant relief of the itch.  Give it a try next time you are about to go nuts itching those little bites!

Air freshener to clean bathroom mirror

In the bathroom, you can use the aerosol air freshener instead of glass cleaner to clean the mirrors. Not only does it smell wonderful, it also does an unexpectedly good job at cleaning glass and mirrors.  I generally don’t like the smell of glass cleaner, especially in a confined space like the bathroom, so I use air freshener instead.

Clear tape to get splinter out of finger

Most people think of tweezers when they get a splinter.  But here’s a trick to make this much less painful and lot easier to get the little splinter out of your finger.  Grab a piece of clear tape, and stick to your finger where you got the splinter.  When you pull of the tape, out comes the splinter.  Ta-da.  Painless!  This works especially good with little ones who won’t hold still!

Effervescent antacid tablets to clean toilet and more

If you have effervescent antacid tablets, such as Alka-Seltzer or Efferdent, you can use these as a cleaning aid in many situations.  Here are just a handful.  You would be amazed at the cleaning power of the citric acid mixed with the effervescent dissolving action of the little tablet.  Drop two of these little guys into a toilet, leave it alone for 20 minutes or so until they have completely dissolved and sat for a bit, then use your toilet brush to scrub the bowl clean.  Like new again, even with hard water stains! Dissolve a couple into a glass of water with a gold ring at the bottom and it is like an instant jewelry polisher! Drop one or two (depending on size of container) into the bottom of a vase, cruet, or thermos and it will scrub the bottom for you!  And if you drop a few down a drain, after a few minutes a few tablespoons of vinegar, and a few minutes more run the water, the dissolving action will unclog a stubborn kitchen sink drain.

Cooking spray in place of wd-40 and more

Everyone has cooking spray in their kitchen.  Here are a few uses you probably haven’t thought of:  Did you know that if you are painting, and you get paint on your hands, cooking spray will release the paint from your skin.  Also works with grease for those backyard mechanics out there.  If you have a stubborn bicycle chain and you are out of WD-40, try spraying some cooking spray on it.  And here’s a weird one - spray it on your wet fingernail polish and it will immediately dry it, then you just wipe off the cooking spray.

White school glue to help with acne

If you have problems with acne, or with blackheads, try putting a bit of white school glue on your skin over the blemish. When it’s dry, carefully peel it away and watch it bring the blackheads and dead skin right along with it. Painless and doesn’t further irritate your skin, you know how popping a pimple can redden the whole area.  Try this and you won’t go out looking like Rudolph.

Brewed black tea for shiny hair

If you have long lovely hair, and are used to spending a fortune on hair products, here’s an idea that won’t break the bank.  Try brewing a pot of plain tea, nice and strong, and allow it to cool a bit of course.  When it’s a comfortable temperature, pour over your hair and allow it to drip down the length of it.  The tea will make your hair wonderfully shiny.  You can also pour a pot of strong plain tea into your bath and get instant relief from sunburn.

Toothpaste for scrubbing crayon marks and more

Who ever thought toothpaste was just for brushing your teeth?!  You won’t believe what this minty smelly paste can do.  Not only does it smell lovely while scrubbing, it easily removes crayon marks from the paint on the wall.  It will dissolve stubborn stains on your clothes, just brush it in with an old toothbrush and watch the stain disappear.  Toothpaste will also soothe an aching sunburn or other minor burn.  I have heard another one, haven’t tried it.  You let me know.  I have heard you can coat your glasses or snow goggles with toothpaste, and it will keep them from fogging up inconveniently.

Sugar if you burn your tongue

Next time you are in the kitchen and you burn your tongue tasting your spaghetti sauce, grab the sugar and put some sugar on your tongue.  The burning sensation will immediately lessen.  If you burn your hand or your arm, try cutting a potato in half and put the open half right over the burn.  Immediately cools it off.  I use this one for little kids too; they love holding the potato half on their leg, which seems silly and distracts them from the pain.

WD-40 for arthritis aches and insect bites

If you have a problem with arthritis, you can try spraying WD40 on the ache.  Sounds strange but it works.  Did you know WD40 will also cool an insect bite?  Works good when you are out working in the garage or the yard, and you get a sting.  Sometimes you just have to use what’s at hand.

Effervescent antacid tablets for sweat stains

If you have a pair of workout clothes that you just can’t get the sweat stains out of, then try dropping an effervescent antacid tablet like Alka Seltzer, into a bowl, then drop in your favorite sweats and watch the sweat stains disappear like magic.

Knox gelatin for stinking shoes

I have a teenage son that has the stinkiest feet in the entire world I swear.  Here’s a weird remedy – try sprinkling Knox gelatin on them.  It absorbs the odor instantly.

Cornstarch for athlete’s foot

If you have a problem with Athlete’s Foot, sprinkle cornstarch in your shoes and on your feet, and it will help cure the itch and help it not return.  Also, cornstarch can be used to slide tiny little Barbie clothes on. Sprinkle a little cornstarch and watch them slide on.

Mentholatum rub for curing fungus

Did you know that the menthol and other ingredients in Vicks Vapor Rub, and other mentholatum rubs, will get rid of fungus growing on toe or fingernails.

Meat tenderizer to cool bee sting

You can sprinkle meat tenderizer on a bee sting or insect bite, and it will kill the sting and help it not to itch so bad later.

Preparation H for sand flea bites

If you live down south and you have trouble with chigger (sand flea) bites on your lower legs and feet, try spreading a little Preparation H on the swollen little red spots around the bite, and watch the redness disappear.

Superglue to close a paper cut instantly

Did you know that superglue was originally invented as liquid instant stitches for the battle field?  Well, we can take inspiration from that, and now, next time you get an annoying paper cut, try a drop of superglue.  Closes it right up instantly and painlessly.

Aspirin to keep fresh flowers longer

Every time I get fresh flowers, it always surprises me how fast they go brown and wilted.  If you have ever wanted a way to inexpensively make them last longer, try dropping to aspirin (non-coated kind works best) into the bottom of the vase.  The aspirin will make the flowers stay fresh-looking much longer.

Peanut butter to remove adhesive and more

And now for a few uses for peanut butter that you probably haven’t thought of.  If you need to remove a label and its sticky residue off of glassware, next time try rubbing it with peanut butter! Use smooth peanut butter to rub out scratches on your favorite music cd.  Use a coffee filter to wipe it off as they leave no little fuzzies behind.  And last but not least, peanut butter will dissolve ink on latex toys, such as when little brother draws on sister’s favorite doll.

Vinegar to lessen dandruff

Do you know anyone who struggles with excessively heavy dandruff?  Perhaps someone in your house has this problem.  Rather than spending a fortune on special shampoos and medicated rubs, try thoroughly rinsing your hair with vinegar.  Massage into the scalp, and repeat a few times throughout the week.  You won’t believe the difference.

Kool-aid drink mix for tie-dye

Rather than buying tie-dye mix at the store, try this inexpensive alternative.  Tie up the t-shirt as desired and then dip it into a strong solution of kool-aid or other like powdered drink mix.  The dye in the drink mix will stain the shirt wherever you dunk it in.

Club soda and M.O.M. to keep newspaper clippings readable for years

Do you save newspaper clips?  Whenever someone in the family is in the paper, my grandma always clips it out and gives it to us.  To make it last longer in the scrapbook, we mix up a little solution of club soda and milk of magnesia, soak the paper clipping for 15-20 minutes and let it dry naturally.  This makes the newsprint stay strong and clear, readable for many years to come.

Stain removal tips

Here are a few tips for various stains.  Use a generous amount of table salt to release a red wine stain on carpet.  Use cola on grease stains in the driveway and garage floor.  Leave it soak on the stain overnight, and you will be surprised in the morning when the stain is gone.  In the bathroom if you have dirty grout between your tiles, try pouring Listerine mouthwash on the grout and let it stand 15 minutes or so, then wipe clean.   And in the laundry room, when you find a grass stain on your kid’s pants, try pouring a small amount of Karo syrup on it.  Makes the grass stain release from the jeans.  Weird trick, but give it a try.

Hot iron to remove candle wax drippings

If you like to burn candles, you know how hard it is to get the wax out of the carpet and other fabric-covered surfaces if you happen to spill or splash the wax.  Rather than scrub the old fashioned way, instead take a paper towel or sturdy napkin, (a small dishcloth you no longer want could be used instead) lay it over the wax stain, and iron over the top of it.  The hot wax will absorb into the paper towel.

Dryer sheet to remove baked on foods

Next time you have a really stubborn, baked-on dirty baking dish, try dropping a dryer sheet in to the pan as it soaks.  It seems weird, but the static from the dryer sheet with draw the food to it, and thus off the pan.  Anything to make dishes easier!
