Sherri's Helpful Hints












To clean the carafe of your drip coffeemaker, make a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt and a teaspoon or so of lemon juice. This will make the carafe sparkling clean.


If your silver earrings need polishing, but no silver polish - try sensitive formula toothpaste. It will make them look like new. Make sure you do not use the whitening formula, this is too abrasive and may scratch slightly.


To clean ceiling fan blades effectively without a lot of dust "fallout", use your vacuum extender hose with the brush fitting and just simply brush the dust away.


If you have problems with razor burn when you shave your legs, take a hint from the barbers. Take a towel and saturate with fairly hot water, being sure to wring out well. Wrap the towel around each leg for 1 minute prior to shaving. This softens the hair and makes for a smoother shave. Be careful, though, not to use water that is too hot.


Before you tweeze your eyebrows, rub the area with an ice cube that you have run under water for 2 seconds. This will slightly numb the area and make the whole process less painful.
