Epsom salts aren’t just great for the bath, you can throw a few handfuls into your garden beds to provide your plants with an extra
nutrient boost. Place moth balls into toolkits to help keep tools rust-free.

Stanley Dunn, Tharbogang, NSW If you find your jeans always roll up when trying to put on boots, secure them with a rubber band first.
Kate Lang, Levin, NZ Every week night, I pick one room in the house and spend 15 minutes cleaning it and reducing clutter. I no longer have to waste half my Saturday cleaning the whole house.
Georgie Parker, McDowall, Qld If you own pets, keep a lint roller in the car. It is much easier to run that over the back seat when Fido has been to the vet, rather than dragging the vacuum cleaner out each time.
Jennie Wallace, Werrington, NSW When rolling dough or pastry, create a workspace on the kitchen bench by sticking down some grease proof paper with tape. When you have finished, the mess will be on the paper, which you can easily pop in the bin.
