Clean your baking trays.....Sprinkling the tray with baking soda; spraying with hydrogen peroxide; then another layer of baking soda…leave it sitting there like that for a while. MOST of the gunk will came right off! Minimal rubbing (you could use a scrubbie too) was required.

Get your garden ready for Spring

A healthy summer lawn starts with good spring (August) maintenance:

• If you have kikuyu and the matt build-up is thick, it’s a good idea to scarify the lawn. To do this, set the mover on the lowest setting to remove the thick top growth (wear a mask for the dust).
• Water your lawn well and leave it for two to three hours before aerating the lawn.
• To aerate the lawn take an ordinary heavy duty fork or a spike roller, dig the fork into the ground as deep as possible moving the fork forwards and backwards.
• Spread a general fertiliser over the whole lawn, top dress lightly with lawn dressing and then water well.

Pretreat Stove tops With Wax

The wax that you use to shine up your car can also help you to shine up your stove top. You just have to apply a thin layer of your favorite car wax and then wipe it off with a clean, soft rag or a paper towel. Not only does this help your stove top to look shiny and new again, it helps to make cleaning up spills in the future really easy. The foods that normally cause a huge mess on your stove top will simply wipe right up when you have a light layer of wax underneath them.

How to my your house smell great:

Boil cinnamon.
This is a super easy method which works just as well as a room spray, doesn’t contain any dangerous additives, is cheap and doesn’t involve going out and buying anything (assuming you’ve got cinnamon in your house). Simply add a couple of cinnamon sticks or sprinkling of cinnamon to a saucepan full of water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes until the smell disperses throughout your home. If you’ve got a large house, you can even carefully carry the pan around to different rooms and let the smell evaporate in each room for a bit.
