Easier living

Our friend Paul North at Pillar to Post Inspections sent these interesting tips.
 
Here are some smart ways to put wax paper to better use:

1. Water Spots.
To prevent water spots, rub chrome fixtures with wax paper after cleaning, then buff lightly. You’ll leave a thin coating that deflects water and helps stop smudges.

2. Easy–glide shower curtain.Rub a little wax paper on the bar and the shower curtain will glide across smoothly.

3. No-fuss fridge.
Forget struggling to wipe the top of your fridge. Cover the surface with wax paper. It’ll catch dirt. Then once a month, just replace it.

4. Get your can opener into gear.
Run a piece of wax paper through the gears. It will loosen dirt and coat the wheels so they’ll run smoothly.

5. Re-cork Wine.Slip a cork back into an unfinished bottle of wine by wrapping wax paper around it for easy removal.

Thanks, Paul!
