Stains in Plastic Storage Containers: Use a baking soda paste (baking soda and water) and rub into the stain. You can then rinse with vinegar (optional) and wash normally. Another method is to place container outside on a nice sunny day and the sun actually bleaches the stain out. To avoid stains in the first place, spray container with cooking spray before putting things in it that stain i.e. spaghetti sauce
Smelly Cooking Hands: Simply rub your hands over a stainless steel utensil under running water. This works especially well for the odor of garlic, onions or fish.

splatters all over the inside of your microwave and cooks itself on after time. To easily remove this mess, place a sponge soaked in water in the microwave. Cook on high heat for 2 minutes, then allow it to sit without opening the microwave door, for 5 minutes. The filth is now ready to be wiped right off - no scrubbing - and your sponge is right there!
Stovetops: To prevent grease and grime from sticking to your stove top, making it easy to clean, rub it down with car wax on occasion

over the seeded areas. There are several reasons for doing this. First, the straw keeps the newly sewn seed from washing away when it rains and when you water it. Second, it will help hide your new grass seed from the birds, who will view you lawn patches as a free lunch. Third, the straw will act as a thermal barrier, holding in ground heat and helping your grass to grow quickly.
Make sure that your new grass gets plenty of water and that you don’t get to anxious about cutting it. Mowing your new grass too soon can uproot the tender new shoots. If the grass is in direct sunlight, cutting it to soon can also cause the grass to burn.
Many manufacturers sell seasonal treatments that will help your yard stay green, lush, and weed free. A good lawn program means that you won’t have to spend time pulling weeds and re-seeding every spring.

The first thing that you need to do is get rid of everything that isn’t supposed to be there. This means any dandelions, thistle, or unsightly clusters of weeds need to be removed. There are several ways to go about this, but the best way is still with a small hand shovel. You need to get the entire plant, roots and all, out of the ground. When you pull the weeds, place them right into garbage or a lawn refuse bag.
Before you begin planting new grass seed, make sure the soil on these spots is ready and able to grow things. If the ground is very rocky or hard, then the seeds will most likely wash away before they have a chance to take root. If the ground isn’t ready for seed, then buy some topsoil to spread over these areas.
The traditional way is to buy a bag of grass seed and spread it by hand. Straw is usually spread

IRThe Flush Lever
The handle is generally held in place by a nut that is secured against the wall of the tank. It should be located at the place where the handle comes in from outside of the tank. This nut can be loosened with your adjustable wrench. Once the nut has been removed, the handle can be slid right out through the hole in the tank wall. Slide the new one in and tighten the nut back into place.
The Flapper Valve
The flapper valve is the mechanism inside your toilet tank that controls the flush. In order to change the valve, you first need to empty the tank of water so that you can work. Find the shut off valve that is located on the water line that supplies your toilet. Turn it off, and then flush the toilet one time. The tank should empty as normal with the flush, but will not refill. There are several different styles of flapper valves, and the best way to ensure that you get the right one is to remove it and take it with you to the store. Install the new one into the clips that held the old valve in place, and then
turn the water supply back on. It should be as good as new.
The Float System
The float system in your toilet tank controls how much water comes into the tank. To replace the float system, drain the tank in the same way that we discussed above when changing the flapper valve. Once the tank is empty, you will find a large nut at the base of the float system. Loosen that nut and remove the entire float system. Keep in mind that, on some models, the flapper valve is integrated into the float system structure. If this is the case, then the float rod should be able to be removed by itself. As with the flapper valve, there are several different styles available, and the best way to ensure that you get what you need is to take the old one with you to the store. The new one can be installed in the same way the old one came out. Make sure that you tighten the nut securely, but don't over tighten. The plastic that is used to make the float systems can crack fairly easily.
