Tips: - If your water heater is warm to the touch, it's improperly insulated and is wasting energy.
- Making a reminder collar from an old bleach bottle will help you remember which way to turn off your water in case of an emergency.
- To remove unsightly water rings from a wood tabletop, mix equal parts toothpaste and baking soda. Smear a little of the mixture onto the table, then gently rub it.
- To remove pet hair from upholstery, swipe over the area while wearing a damp rubber glove. This method will remove the hair by clumping it all together so you can simply lift it off.
- Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a television set for three hours.
