Hi ladies! What great ideas! So many of you are new and I've not gotten to meet you so welcome to MJF's! I can see that you'll be great additions to this site. If you need yet another idea for baking soda try adding a couple drops of essential oil in your favorite scent to a box and sprinkle it on your carpeting. Let set a few minutes to an hour and vacuum. Smells wonderful and dirt cheap.

| I am not sure if I mentioned this earler in the blog, but Vineager is not only good for cleaning, it is also great as a deodorizer. I soak a cotton boal, and put it under my sink, where the garbage can sits, and I can't smell any foul odor under there, especially during the summer. I also put soaked cotton balls on a piece of foil in my kitchen when I am frying fish, and there is never an odor. And it is pet friendly! |

| Re home remedies----I am new - just signed up today and you've probably all heard this but the very best thing for a burn is to keep an aloe vera plant, break off a piece and keep the gel smeared on the burn, even a bad one and it will go away quick. Works really well for sunburn, too. Also a few years ago my son in law cut his thumb with a sharp knife, we are 45 minutes from the emergency room, I had read that spiderweb would stop bleeding, we were pretty desperate because he was bleeding badly, so went out to the barn and gathered up spiderweb (those thick white, cottony looking ones), put it on the thumb and it actually worked. I don't recommend it as a substitute for going to the doctor, but in an emergency it's a thought. |

Glenda, I'm glad you shared about the spiderweb, my Momma always told me to leave one spiderweb somewhere in the house in case someone got a bad cut that wouldn't stop bleeding...never had to use it but so glad you found out that it worked, but so sorry that your SIL had to get cut to see it worked.

Once again, it has been a while since I have been online here, and I can see a few additions to the blog, what great ideas! I can't wait to try the dawn/vineager mixture, I now have a perplexing problem I am hoping someone has an answer for. I had this terrible smell in my refrigerator last week, so I cleaned it out completely, threw away all of the science projects I thought might be making the smell, wiped it clean with vineager, and bleach, however I still have a slight hint of the smell. I have 2 boxes of baking soda in it already, and thoguht that would help. Any other ideas? I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

Do you think the cider vinegar with baking soda would help with dandruff? My dh has it. Not too bad but his head is often itchy.

Sharon,
Try some activated charcoal. You might be able to get it at a pet supply store, as that is what is put in fish tank filters. Put some in a small bowl and put it in the fridge. It might help.

I'm new here, too - My favorite home remedy would be 'honey' for burns. We have used it many times with great success. You simply put honey right on the burn and wrap it with a paper towel or clean cloth. Just let it sit for a few minutes. The 'burning' feeling will disapper and the redness will heal quickly. Thanks for all the great tips! This is fun!
