Dirty Talk

I compost my garbage for my small garden. I place peelings and other vegetable waste in a plastic food storage tub next to my sink until it fills. Then I place the waste in my composter. The plastic food container tends to smell badly by the time it is full. I have found wiping it and the lid out with white vinegar and letting it air dry solves this problem with little fuss.

take away really nasty smells in fridge by leaving ground coffee in a bowl. Coffee will absorb the odors.

Not a tip, a question... We had an electrical fire which started in our airing cupboard It has been washed down and repainted but we cannot get rid of the smell in there. Any ideas?

If you have the smell of onion on your hands, dry your hands and rub table salt on them. The smell will disappear right away.

A good way to clean your mrrors ALL over your home including the large bathroom mirror(s) is use a teaspoon of AVON bubble bath (any smell you like, I perfer the original pink) in an ice cream bucket of warm water. Dip your cotton cleaning cloth in the water a few times then ring out. Go over small parts of your mirror with a wet cotton cloth followed by a dry cotton cloth. Your mirrors will sparkle "I GARANTEE".

Smelly carpets? Next time you shampoo your carpets put some fabric softer in the machine it tackles the smell. It leaves it smelling nice. ( just 1/4 cup )

Please help. Whilst on holiday we had a water leak. We dried the carpet and cleaned it but cant get rid of the horrible foisty smell. It hits you every time you come into the room. We have aired it well and tried everything we can think of. Thanks Pamanda

Also for americans, if you live in an area that has hard water (ie. New England or Southwest) or water that has very heavy mineral deposits, this can make it hard for detergents to get your clothes really clean. Add a little Borax to your wash to soften your wash water. Your clothes will smell fresher and be cleaner.
