    About this ebook

    Thousands of useful cleaning and money-saving tips for around the home and garden. Also includes tips that have been used over 100 years ago that still stand the test of time.

    Modern tips include:

    Ensure your carpets look as good everyday as they did the day you bought them by rolling them up and keeping them in your garage.

    Avoid cutting yourself while clumsily slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

    Help the local police by popping into the mortuary each day to see if you can identify any of the bodies.

     

    Hang a cornflakes packet on a piece of string in all the doorways of your house. Bumping into the brightly colored boxes as you pass through will remind you to close the door behind you.

    Feed bees oranges. Hey presto! They make marmalade instead of honey.

    Drivers: if a car breaks down or stalls in front of you, beep your horn and wave your arms frantically. This should help the car start and send them on their way.

    Don’t waste money buying expensive binoculars; simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.

    Can’t afford contact lenses? Simply cut out small circles of cling film and press them into your eyes.

    Buy a television set exactly like your neighbors. Then annoy them by standing outside their window and changing their channel using your identical remote control.

    By joining together dozens of paper clips you can make yourself an attractive chain. Ideal for a night out.

    Avoid arguments with the wife about lifting the toilet seat by simply peeing in the sink.

    Can´t afford the latest 3D console games?  Simply buy a traditional board game, they are all viewed in 3D, and do not require special glasses.

    And genuine cleaning tips from 100 years ago include:

    To polish furniture, use a piece of velveteen instead of chamois leather. The former is much cheaper than the chamois and serves just as well.

    When poison is kept in the house, push two stout, sharp-pointed pins through the corks crosswise. The pricking points remind even the most careless person of danger.

    When the creeping baby is placed on the bed for his daily nap, use a large safety-pin to pin his clothes to the bed, or to a strap fastened to the head or foot of the bed.

    When Scissors get blunt, sharpen them by opening and drawing backwards and forwards on a piece of glass. This will sharpen the bluntest of scissors.

    When repairing holes in plaster, mix food coloring with plaster to eliminate repainting.
