Homemade Pot Scrubbies are not limited to just pots.

They are multi-purpose; doing an array of delights from:

scrubbing veggies, exfoliating dry skin on feet, scowering the BBQ, cleaning grout between floor and shower tiles, to holding sugar solutions in a humming bird feeder.

oh ..... and they make great cat toys!

multi use products !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do your muscles ache? the bst thing to do is take a soach in a tub of hot water, as hot as you can stand with a cup to 2 cups of epsom salts, depending on the size of your tub, for about half an hour, not only does it help with achie muscles it also helps to reliefe stress you can also add a couple drops of sented oil in the bath water at the same time for aromatheropy for stress relief. i try to do this at least once a month. very nice

I found using those exfoliating bath gloves (buy in the dollar store) work great for scrubbing your veggies and fruit clean while running it under water, especially potatoes and carrots. Works well getting that waxiness off of apples too.

My husband thought of this a few years back.We'd run out of swiffer covers (remember back when there was just one type, the one piece of flat rubber that you stuck a kleenex, or close to it, and dust the floors) We were out and my husband had the idea to stick a dryer sheet on it.It worked really well.I actually don't know if it's any cheaper than actual swiffer sheets but it worked great in a pinch

[ameliamarie]

don't have bug spray but the flies are bothering you outsidem stick a dryer sheet under your hat and it works great to keep them at least awy from your head, i also found if you rub the seet on your arms or bare body arts this also helps for a short period of time
