Another use for battery-powered toothbrushes
To clean faucets, tile or even collectables, use an old battery-operated toothbrush that you no longer use to brush your teeth. Apply your favorite cleaner (or baking soda is also good, 0) and turn on the toothbrush and scrub away to remove grime and dirt. This method works GREAT!

Checking the Oil in my car
I hung a roll of paper towels in the front of the garage. When checking the oil in the car, it is so easy to just tear off a towel and toss it in the trash when finished rather than searching for a rag.
Clean under low furniture
To dust under a low, bulky item, such as a refrigerator, washer or dryer, put a long sock on yardstick and secure it with a rubber band. Swipe it under the item. It works great and is a good use for all of those old, single socks you find in the washer.

Cleaning up raw egg
If you drop an egg on the floor, cover it liberally with table salt. Let the salt sit a minute, then clean with SCOTT towels. The salt helps hold the egg together so it won't slip and slide all over.
Crayon on your walls

Hand Cleaning
I do most of the repairs and maintenance on our cars. Before I work on them, I squirt a small amount of dishsoap on my hands and rub them together until dry. This keeps the grease out of my pores and under my fingernails, and makes clean up much easier.
