Boat
Key Fob
The best key fob for your boat
key is a cork. If it falls overboard it will
float.

Bumper
Stickers
Use a hair dryer to heat and loosen bumper
stickers and window decals before trying to
scrape them off.

Cola
For Your Car?
Cola isn't only good for thirst.
When you rub the clamps of your car battery
with cola they won't oxidize. Cola also works
on rusty metal if you don't have any anticorrosive
agent in reach.

Cold
Carburetor?
You may not believe this but in
most of the cases this trick will work: When
your car doesn't want to start on a cold day
use a hair dryer and blow some warm air on the
carburetor. The heat will help to inflame the
gas.

Emergency
Traction
If your car is hopelessly stuck
on a patch of ice of snow, use one of the floor
mats for traction. Just place it under the stuck
tire and off you'll go!

Hammering Nails into Hardwood
If you need to hammer nails into
very hard wood you should rub them with soap
or candle wax and they'll go into the wood easily.

Mowing
Wet Lawn
When you're going to cut high or wet lawn
you should cover the knives or your lawnmower
with oil. The cut grass won't stick to the
knives then.
|
Oil
Spots
Oil stains on the garage floor are ugly. They
look dirty and can ruin the floor. It's very
easy to care of this problem: strew some cat
litter on the oil spot. It will soak up the
oil.

Shovel
Snow With Ease!
To speed through even the toughest shoveling
jobs with ease, try this: spray your shovel
with nonstick cooking spray before heading
outdoor. Snow won't stick!
|
Small
Screws
If you have to drill in small screws it sometimes
can drive you crazy. They're too small to
grip and you also can't get them into the
hole. Put a bit glue on the tip of your finger
then this won't be a problem anymore.
|
Save
Baby Food Jars
Nail or screw the lids to the bottom of upper
cabinets or shelves and then thread the jars
back onto the lid. You'll have clear storage
containers for sorting small parts and pieces.
|
Tar
Spots
Tar spots on your car can be a big problem
because most of the cleaning agents are rough
on the surface. It's better to try this: Moisten
a soft cloth with flax oil an use it to soak
the tar. Take another cloth you moistened
with flax oil to polish.
