To clean your dishwasher/garbage disposal

| If your dishwasher
drains through your garbage disposal, switch it on when
the hot soapy water is running through is so it gets a
good cleaning; if not, pour diluted bleach down the disposal
at lease once a week. |

a steamy bath or shower. The walls, fixtures, etc. will
be much easier to clean because the steam will have loosened
the dirt. |

| For spilled
wax on carpets and upholstery, put a brown paper bag over
the dried wax and run a hot iron over it. The bag will
absorb the hot wax. Dried wax on wood floors can be removed
by softening the wax with a hair dryer, then removing
with paper towels. Wash spot down with a combination of
vinegar and water. |
