This handy hint was sent in by Tony Church - Use a car wash product to clean your windows. Just use as if you are washing your car. Wet the window, apply with a house washing brush or car wash brush, then hose off. This method also seems to remove pollen and brighten the aluminum. |

Bella Packer says One way you can clean your BBQ grill rack is with aluminum foil. Wrap the rack in foil and turn on the grill for about 30 minutes or so with the lid on. This should help cooked-on food come off with ease. You can even use the aluminum foil to crumple up and scrape off the ash from the rack. |

Josie White sent us this tip-If you want to protect the new growth in your garden, cut the bottoms off of clear two-litre bottles to create individual covers for your plants. Stick the covers over the plants with the cap removed and the bottle will keep the heat from the sun in while letting in enough air for the plant to thrive. |
