Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: When I put sneakers in the dryer, I put a few fabric-softener sheets in the toes of the sneakers. This helps the sneakers to retain their shape and also makes them smell good! - Janice L. Johnson, West Yarmouth, Mass.

Dear Heloise: I love to reuse all those plastic bags from the grocery that hold fruit and veggies, but storing them can be messy. I started stuffing them into a cardboard roll from inside paper towels. You can get about 20 bags into one cardboard roll and they fit right in line with our foil and plastic-wrap boxes in the drawer. - Pamela Place, Spokane xxxx
