Top March tips

Bathroom:

Placing a small sponge in the soap dish will contain soap scum and almost eliminate its running down tile walls.

Kitchen:

Self cleaning ovens are a guy's dream come true.

Home office:

Never clean your computer screen with Windex. Use a dedicated screen cleaner.

Bedroom:

Launder bed linens before you can actually see they needs it.

Relationships:

On a date? A complicated coffee order impresses no one.

Organizing:
Put up pegboard in the garage.
Interior design:
Hang pictures lower than you think they should go. No one wants to leap up to see your art.
