Double Duty
Every time you take out the trash, open the refrigerator and toss out any expired or empty items.
After you make a grocery list, wipe down the refrigerator shelves and make room for the items you'll be buying.
Each time you change a light bulb, wipe off or dust the fixture.
Each time you take a shower, spray down the shower door and/or inside wall.
For everything new you bring into your home -- trash, recycle, or store something old.
Every time you move something into storage -- trash or recycle something out of storage.
When you put up seasonal decorations, clean hard-to-reach display areas, like the tops of doorways or bookshelves.

Disinfecting and Deodorizing Sponges
Don't throw out the kitchen sponge that smells like last night's fish. Soak it in water spiked with white vinegar or lemon juice, then heat it on high for 1 minute. (Use an oven mitt when you remove it.) This will also disinfect any sponges you used to wipe up the juices from a raw meat.

Secure Straps on Hangers with Rubber Bands
Keeping camisoles and sundresses from slipping off their hangers. For this stop-strap measure, wrap a band (or two if you use skinny ones) around each end of a hanger.Garments that stay put instead of sliding to the floor.

Curtail junk mail
The Federal Trade Commission website, www.ftc.gov, spells out how to remove yourself from lists. (Click on “For Consumers,” then “Telemarketing,” then “Unsolicited Mail, Telemarketing and E-mail: Where to Go to ‘Just Say No.’”)
