To cut down on the germs on your dish rags or sponges (and thus counter tops), pour about 1 1/2 teaspoon of regular bleach in the dishwater. This not only keeps the dish rag cleaner, it also helps cut down on the counter top germs! Just make sure to rinse well in water.

Ground cloves will relieve a toothache or gum boil just as quick (if not better than) any store bought remedy?
