shares her ideas to make your life easier

If you have a grubby mug with stubborn coffee stains, get them off with toothpaste. Just give it a good rinse before you next use it.

Did you know you can use tinfoil as a scourer? Scrunch it into a ball and give pots and pans a scrub – it’s a great way to recycle food wrapping and save yourself money.

Got a hole in tights or socks? Don’t throw them away – give them a wash and use them as a duster. This is a particularly good use of odd socks, which we always seem to end up with, despite careful sorting!
