Tips & Tricks

Green Clean Ceramic Tile
To eliminate soapy build-up on the ceramic tile walls of your shower or tub, wash with a mixture of 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1 gallon of hot water.  The vinegar cuts right through the soapy scum.

Power Down
Install a switch on an electric water heater, so that it's on only when you need it, or install a timer to do the job automatically.  Turning down the temperature on an electric or gas water heater will also save money year-round.

Dry Sheet to the Rescue
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket to keep mosquitoes away.
 
Never Thought of That
Use a comb to keep a nail steady for hammering

Myths and Facts
Window Air Conditioner

Myth:  The bigger a window air conditioner, the better it will cool a room.

Fact:  Air conditioners work best and conserve energy when they run at a consistent rate.  An oversized unit tends to cycle on and off frequently, because it cools the immediate area around the unit very quickly.  Then it stops because the internal thermostat thinks it is done, so when the temperature increases, it goes on again.  A unit that is the right size is less likely to overshoot.
