Tidy Tuesday - Household tips

 Just thought I'd share some household tips today.  Hope you can use one or two.  :)

The amount of laundry detergent your washer needs to clean clothes is actually quite small yet the measuring cup they provide is deceptively large.  By marking the correct line with a Sharpie marking pen, you won't waste detergent.  This is especially good if your kids wash their own clothes. 

 Binder clips ($3.79 for 12 at Office Depot) are great for closing bags (cereal, frozen food, chips, etc) and are extra sturdy.

I use a lot of fruits and vegetables and I love these compost container liners!  They are made from corn and decompose quickly in your compost pile.  Just throw the bag full of scraps onto the pile.  Hmmm...I wonder what they taste like  :)

You can buy wire racks at any store (like Target, Walmart, Home Depot) and they increase the usable space in your cupboards.  Great if your shelves aren't moveable.

Have a great day!
