HELPFUL HINTS
Rubber Bands If rubber bands in the packets of cellophane jam covers are not big enough to go over the jar, soak them in cold water and they will stretch much further. Soiled Cuffs When washing very soiled cuffs on shirts or blouses dip them into hot starch first. Leave for a - little while, then launder in the usual way. They are much easier to clean and require less rubbing. Sugar Saver When cooking rhubarb and other acid fruits, add a piece of thin lemon rind before cooking. The rind absorbs the acid and can be removed when fruit is cooked. Less sugar is required. Used Tea Leaves Pour boiling water over used tea leaves. Leave for an hour in a bottle. This liquid can be used for cleaning mirrors, windows, glasses, varnished doors, furniture, linoleum, muddy suede shoes, also black and navy blue skirts.
