Our first great reader tip did just that with hair spray and ink pens. NEW LIFE FOR PENS. I had a bunch of ballpoint pens that appeared to have ink in the car- tridges, but they wouldn't work. I had found success in getting rid of pen marks on clothing with hair spray, so I got an idea. I put a bit of hair spray in a cup and added the pens so that the points were immersed. After 10 minutes, I made a few scribbles on a newspaper and got the ink flowing. -- Marilyn, Minnesota BLUE DAWN FOR FRIDGE. I was cleaning my refrigerator and noticed yellow stains at the bottom of each door shelf. It must have been from oil or mustard, and hot soapy water didn't work. I squirted a bit of blue Dawn dishwashing soap directly on the stains and sprinkled baking soda on the Dawn. I mixed it all around and applied a bit of pressure while scrubbing. Voila! The stains were gone. -- Greta, Nebraska EMERGENCY WATER. We fill our washing machine with cold water when our area gets a hurri- cane or blizzard warning. If we don't end up using the water, we just wash a load of clothes. There is no water wasted. -- Allyson, Connecticut DRYER SHEET DUST- ING. I put used dryer sheets in an empty tissue box and store it in the laun- dry room. When the top of the washer or dryer gets dusty, I pull one out and give the machine a quick swipe. These pick up dust like a charm. They also work great on getting rid of the excess dust on the bathroom floor. -- Natalie, email SOCKS FOR CUFFS. Finding the right ribbing to replace a cuff on a jacket is a problem. I looked through my sock drawer until I found the correct color and length. It looked so good that I couldn't tell the dif- ference. -- Deb, Minnesota DESITIN FOR RUNNY NOSES. When my nose gets irritat- ed and red from a runny nose, I rub a little Desitin diaper rash cream on it, and my nose clears up in no time. -- Sally, email DUCT TAPE COMPUTER COVER. I have an older laptop computer, and it cracked where the hinges attach. Instead of buying a new top -- which would have cost me $175 -- I bought the new design- er duct tape and covered the whole top. It looks fantastic. I went with the leopard skin design, and now no one has a computer like mine! It makes the computer look like new and holds the cracks in place, and there haven't been any more new cracks. -- Barb, Minnesota OUTSIDE CLEANUP Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate STATION. I read the sug- gestion to put slivers of soap in knee-high hose. I took it one step further and tied the hose to the outside spigot. After working out- side, we have soap and water for cleaning up. -- Pamela, Iowa Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Include your first and last name and state.
