Uncover three smart, low-effort ways to clean a jetted tub so it looks brighter, smells fresh, and the jets run stronger. We once kept scrubbing the surface until a hot-water vinegar cycle through the jets cleared the hidden film causing the stubborn ring.
MABEL’S WISDOM
Sparkling Chandeliers the Old-Fashioned Way
When I was young, we didn't use chemical cleaning sprays for chandeliers. Instead, a little elbow grease and a simple homemade solution did the trick.
Mix one part vinegar with three parts warm water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and gently wipe each crystal. Your chandelier will shine like it did in the good old days!
CLEANING
Grease on painted walls lifts easily with gentle cleaning, and these 10 simple ideas remove oily stains without harming the finish. We once rescued a kitchen wall after an olive oil splatter by dusting on cornstarch for 15 minutes, then wiping with diluted dish soap, a trick that works because powders draw oil out before washing.
FUN FACT
Why do adjustable wrenches have that weird, angled head?
The 15-degree offset between the handle and the jaw wasn't part of JP Johansson's original 1892 adjustable wrench design—it was added later. That slight angle gives your hand clearance when turning a bolt close to a wall or frame , and it doubles your effective swing: flip the adjustable wrench over after each quarter-turn. |  |
