“Good Housekeeping” magazine shares smart and simple tips to make your home sparkle, including how to unclog drains, remove wine stains, touch up tarnished silver, clean ovens and more:
To get rid of kitchen smells
To absorb the pungent odor of foods like fish or cabbage, place a small bowl filled with approximately 1 cup of white vinegar on the kitchen counter or table while cooking. To remove the musty smell from your freezer, fill a clean sock with dry coffee grounds and place it inside. You should change the coffee grounds once a month.
Keep drains unclogged
Every three months (once a season), pour a mix of ¼ cup ammonia and 1 quart boiling water — per drain — into your bathroom and kitchen drains to dissolve grease and loosen clumps before they become a problem. This mixture doesn’t work on drains that are already clogged — it’s only intended to prevent clogged drains.
