A Clean Slate
Wooden cutting boards are cesspools for bacteria and food buildup. Because of the tiny nooks and crannies on a piece of wood, particularly one used for cutting, they need a different approach to cleaning. To get rid of stains and bacteria in a wooden cutting board, place coarse salt over the board and use half of a lemon to rub it into the board. The lemon will act as a disinfectant and the salt will clean the crevices of the wood.
Noodle Use
There are endless uses for foam pool noodles. If you often lose a sock or two along the side of your washing machine, a pool noodle can fill the gap between the washer and the wall so you'll never have to dig into the abyss for a lost sock again.
