Now here’s a tip

•”When I am kneading dough for bread or pizza crust, I put sandwich baggies over my hands. The dough doesn’t stick to my hands, and it makes cleanup much easier.” — I.L. in Ohio

•”Knee-high panty hose are great for more than legs. Stuff one inside the other, knot and use as a scrubbie for nonstick baking ware. They aren’t abrasive, but they work great to get off sticky food.” — C.F. in New Jersey

•”If you get a splinter and it’s hard to get out, just cover it with regular household white glue. Let the glue dry and peel off. This works for me almost every time.” — U.D. in North Carolina

•Beating bee-sting pain is a snap. First, scrape off the stinger with a credit card. (Don’t grab it and pull, as that will make it worse.) Then apply a dab of honey. It’s a natural antiseptic, and it will feel better almost instantly.

•Calm flyaways by washing and conditioning your hairbrush. Wash all types in soap and water, and if your brush is a natural-bristle brush, dip it in a cup of water with a little conditioner added. Let it dry, and brush away with no more static.

•”You can get your shower liner clean in no time at all by throwing it in the washing machine. I do mine once a month with a load of towels for extra scrubbing.” — R.R. in Washington
