HINTS FROM HELOISE

- — Ann E., York, N.Y. Heloise@heloise.com King Features Syndicate

Dear Heloise:

Whenever you have trouble opening a tight jar lid, set a hairdryer on high and, in a circular motion, move it over the lid.

The heat will release the seal. Works every time.

— J.R., Toronto, Ohio

Dear Heloise:

Some toothbrush­es are too large for many toothbrush holders.

I keep mine in a small vase filled with glass marbles.

The marbles and container are easy to clean.

Ann, now, that is a really clever idea, and I’ll bet it looks lovely on your bathroom vanity.

— Heloise

Dear Heloise:

For cleaning, especially the bathroom, I cover my eyes with safety glasses. They also fit with my regular glasses.

They keep my eyes safe from harsh chemical cleaners and sprays. I keep them with my cleaning supplies and wear them until I’m done cleaning.

— Elizabeth S., Lebanon, Ohio
