THINGS YOUR MOTHER SHOULD OF TOLD YOU 16. Don’t throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. 17. If you have a problem opening jars: Try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy. 18. Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water. 19. To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief. 20. Ants, ants, ants everywhere … Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself. 21. Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer. Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous china. Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets. Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes. Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary). Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka-Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar.
