I figure that when it comes down to either throw- ing an item into the trash or giving it one last-ditch effort, I'll go with the latter. I've "laun- dered" leather shoes, handbags, make-up bags, shower curtains and patio chair cushions. Funny, I'd never thought about washing a sofa. Until today. OUTDOOR SOFA CLEANUP. My parents' white sofa set became dingy and spotted from water rings and cleaning stains, though it was rarely used and had been profes- sionally cleaned. Instead of throw- ing it out, we decided to wash it. On a sunny day, we moved it outside, hosed it all down, soaked it with Oxyclean and then scrubbed it with laundry detergent. We left it in the sun, and at the end of the day it was completely dry and beautiful. I would never have believed this. -- Lisa, California CELL PHONE SPEAKER SYS- TEM. To save money, I cancelled my land line when I became unem- ployed and now only have a cell phone. I didn't want to haul it around with me at home, so I pur- chased a baby monitor with two speakers. Now, I leave my phone next to the monitor and can hear my phone ringing anywhere in the house. The monitor does dou- ble duty because I have it placed near the television, so I can listen to the news when I'm in the kitchen or getting ready in the morning. -- Mary Jo, e-mail McCHEAP McBREAKFAST. Our family makes breakfast sandwiches faster and cheaper than the fast food places. It's easy! First, put bread or a split English muffin in the toaster. Spray a microwave-safe coffee mug or ramekin with cooking spray and break an egg into it. Scramble the egg slightly, cover the mug (I usually just use a saucer, as eggs do have a tendency to "pop") and microwave for approximately one minute. Spread bread with butter or other condiment (I like spicy mus- tard), and assemble the sandwich when the egg is done cooking. Even my 12-year-old can make her own breakfast without having to dirty a frying pan. -- Kristen, Iowa MULE TEAM BESTS CAT ODORS. My senior cat became confused and thought her litter box was a certain spot on my carpet.
