1) To remove a cork from the inside of beautiful empty wine bottle, pour some ammonia into the bottle and set in a well-ventilated spot. The cork will disintegrate in a few days.
Lard-
1) If nothing else has worked to remove a grease spot from a solid-colored dress, try this- but only if you feel you have nothing to lose. Work lard through the material, covering every part of the spot evenly. Wash the garment thoroughly in hot suds and rinse well. The spot should have disappeared.
Milk-
1) Stains from ballpoint pens can be removed by sponging the area with milk until stain disappears.
2) Red- wine stains on linen can be removed by immediately putting the material into a pot containing enough milk to cover the stain area. Bring to a boil and remove from burner. Let stand until the stain has completely disappeared. This method should also work on older wine stains.
3) A simple way to remove cracks in china cups is to simmer the cup in milk for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the crack. If the crack is not too wide, the protein in the milk will seal it.
Oven-
1) Have your tennis ball lost their bounce? If so, place the can of balls with the lid off overnight in a closed oven. The heat from the pilot light will get them back into shape.
Rice-
1) When postage stamps won't stick to the envelope, apply a few grains of cooking rice or some evaporated milk as a good emergency substitute for glue.
Salt-
1) A handful of salt in the washday rinse water will help keep clothes from sticking or freezing to the clothesline on damp, cold days.
Spoons-
1) To banish onion, garlic, and bleach odors from hands, put all five fingers on the handle of a stainless- steel spoon and run cold water over fingers.
