• “If you have delicate items to wash, put them inside a pillowcase before you run them through the delicate cycle on your washing machine. This works really well if you have something that has thin straps, as they will not get tangled up in the agitator.” — K.Z. in Rhode Island • “Make your own fun fridge magnets using thin giveaway magnets from local businesses. Glue photos or artwork over the front of thin, pliable advertising magnets. Cut away the edges, and you’ll have fun magnets featuring your family members or pets, for instance.” — A.L. in Connecticut • “I keep a small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol in the glove box, along with a stack of paper napkins. This makes it easy to clean my glasses before driving. I also have used it to remove sticky residue and to sanitize my hands after pumping gas. It’s quite useful, really.” — F.E. in Washington • A muffin tin makes a great sorter when beading necklaces or doing crafts with small beads. You can sort by style or color, making it organized and easy to find what you need. • “If you have dry skin on elbows, knees or feet, get a container of Vaseline or other petroleum jelly. Rub a little bit of it into the dry skin areas at night, and you should see a difference in a week.” — E.L. in California • Whenever you travel in the car with your pet, try taking a sealable container of ice for drinking.
