*Cleaning microwave can be easy. Fill a microwave-safe glass or bowl half full of water. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar(If you dont’t have vinegar, you can spray microwave walls with kitchen cleaner instead). Place bowl inside the microwave. Turn it on for 5-10 minutes. Steam will do all the hard work! After 5-10 minutes you can easily wipe down inside of the microwave


* Never keep potatoes in a plastic bag you bought them in. Plastic bags keep the moist and potatos will spoil faster. Keep potatoes in canvas shopping bag in a dry, cool place.


* Place a few sheets of copy paper, a layer of wax paper or a big, cut in half plastic bin bag, on top of your upper kitchen cabinets. It will catch all the dust and grease. Change it every few months.
Garden and house plants-


*Get rid of the aphids! Throw one clove of garlic into the boiling water (1L), allow water to cool. Spray your plants with garlic water once a day for a week.


* Throw some aspirin into vase with fresh cut flowers – it will keep them alive longer.


* Mix crushed eggshells with soil when planting flowers. Broken eggshells are steady source of calcium .
