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.
