Best Bets:

Shine Leather Shoes with Vegetable Oil:  I remember my dad removing scuff marks from my little white patent leather shoes with nail polish remover, then buffing them to a shine with an old rag doused with Wesson.  Just tried this trick on my son's soft black leather slip-ons–good as new!

Sop Up Spilled Egg with Salt:  With my Little Chef always willing to help out in the kitchen, this tip will come in handy.

Car Wax as Fixture Polish:  I spend about 5 minutes a night scrubbing hard water deposits off my kitchen faucet.  If one application lasts the reported week, I'll slash more than 30 minutes off my weekly cleaning duties.
