  • One quarter cup clear carbonated beverage to one vase water.
  • One cap of hydrogen peroxide every time the water is changed.
  • One part lemon lime soda to 3 parts of water.
  • Two tablespoons lemon juice, one tablespoon sugar, one quarter teaspoon bleach in one vase of water.
  • Two tablespoons of white vinegar, two tablespoons of sugar to one vase of water.
  • Use 50% warm water, 50% Sprite or 7UP plus one and a half teaspoons of bleach.

Good old cooking spray helps tropicals — such as bird-of-paradise, ginger, and heliconia — last. "The spray basically seals the pores of the flower and prevents it from drying out," says florist Remco van Vliet. Lightly spritz each bloom once, from about 12 inches away. It will  make them shine, too!

When washing dishes in your dishwaher, sometimes use white vinegar in the rinse compartment.

To remove the smell of garlic or onion from your hands, rub a tablespoon of salt mixed with a little water for a few seconds then rinse under cold water.

Bulk cheese will keep longer when it's wrapped in a paper towel dampened with vinegar and placed in a sealed plastic bag. Re-moisten the paper towel every few days, as needed.

Never wash an oily pan. Instead sprinkle a little salt on it and keep it on stove till just hot. Then wipe with paper. This will clean the pan.
