Home hints.

This article from the Australian Women's Weekly provides a collection of home hints and tips. It suggests various practical solutions for everyday tasks, such as putting on pillowcases, repurposing old clothing for cleaning rags, using a salad spinner to remove moisture from grated zucchini, and organizing circular needles in a folder. The article also offers advice on caring for cuticles, using leftover cream cheese or sour cream in scrambled eggs, cooking garlic without burning it, removing rust stains with salt and lemon juice, deterring house spiders with a vinegar and peppermint oil spray, and cleaning mattresses with a vacuum upholstery brush. The article concludes with a reader's prize hint about storing a dress watch and a question and answer section, where a reader asks about freshening a dishwasher and is advised to clean the filter basket, spray-arms, and run cycles with white vinegar and bicarbonate soda.
