Ok, I just learned this trick myself. We have a woodburning stove insert with a glass door that is always covered with soot. I was constantly scrubbing, using bottles of window cleaner, vinegar, I tried everything. Then someone told me to use a damp piece of newspaper dipped in the ashes, scrub off the soot, wipe with a dry piece of newspaper and finish with a little window cleaner or vinegar. It works best when the window is still slightly warm, but even cold, it works! As to the screen, I'd be inclined to take it outside and hose it off. Wipe it with vinegar and dry with a soft cloth. The bricks, when they get sooty will need a stiff brush. I know they make cleaning solutions just for this, so check with the hardware store. Make sure to have the flu cleaned professionally in the spring to prevent chimney fires.

You can use silver polish that you can purchase at the grocery store. Cover the silver with the paste, let it dry slightly and buff with a dry cloth. You can also do touch ups with toothpaste. A hint from my friend, Nance.

I like the jars of jewelry cleaner that you put the jewelry in and shake, let them soak for a bit and then wipe with a soft cloth. Good jewely stores also sell a cloth specially designed for cleaning jewelry.

I use a paste I buy at the market, but I think I have seen a liquid now and that may be easier than getting the paste out of the detailed crevises of a design.

It really depends on what the stain is from. One thing to remember is to mop up any liquid on a wood floor right away. The longer the liquid is there, they harder it will be to get out.  If it is a grease stain, rub salt over and use s dry cloth  to rub the area.  If it's water stain, use toothpaste to clean.

The best way I found is using dishwasher powder. Wet tub first and then sprinkle the powder from the box creating a paste like coating. Let stay over night. You can also do the same with comet and zud is good for getting out the rust stains.

I like to use a bleaching product. Soft Scrub has a gel that is non-abrasive.

Scrub it as clean as you can with some Brillo..then fill it and boil some water.

Fill the dish with a large squeeze of liquid dishwasher (cascade), hot water and soak the rest of the day. Drain and scrub with a SOS pad.

Fill with boiling water and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Soak for a little while.

When it is stuck on badly, you will want to soak it. If you need it done now, then use hot water. Try putting it on the stove to a low simmer and bubble off to loosen what you can. Then it takes elbow grease and a good scrubber.

Try using  a blow dryer and regular mild dish detergent. Turn on the blow dryer on high and blow hot air on the crayon marks. This makes the crayon easier to work with. Using a cleaning cloth or a paper towel with a little liquid dish detergent, gently wipe away the crayon marks. This method is safe to use on most wall surfaces, but test first in a hidden spot to be sure.

I've alway heard to use club soda but that's probably why I drink white wine.

Try pouring soda water or sparkling water and have a paper towel or kitchen towel to blot the water up off the spot. If it is a rug, use lots of water. Start with just a little spot though to be sure that the dye in the rug doesn't run.

There are products specifically for this purpose. I use Zud which is a powder that works fine. Clean your toilet regularly and you should not have this problem.

They sell those sprays you can spray when you are done showering.....otherwise Comet or Ajax works well.

A Soft Scrub - like product.  I like to use the sponges with a side that is gently abrasive.

OK, I'm no expert on this, but I do know that sniffing an orange will help a headache, and I also know that when I smell good or my house smells good, it helps me feel good, if not physically, psychologically. We all know the feeling we get when we smell apple pie baking or a favorite food cooking. Some of us know what it's like to bring a fresh tree into the house at Christmas or walk past a lilac bush. Don't use the synthetic, commercially produced air fresheners, essential oils are available at your health food store. Find the scents that suit you best. You can usually get a diffuser where you get your oils, and there are different kinds. Mine is a small ceramic bowl that is heated by a candle. There are also rings, plug-ins and even one for your car. Another way to bring scent into your home is with flowers, and they also add color I like freesia, lilacs, lilies and roses and Jo will be able to name other great smelling florals. Scent your linen closet with herbs wrapped in cheesecloth or in a cotton pouch. Soak a cotton pad in essential oil and stick it in your pillowcase, or try tossing it into the dryer, You can even put it in your vacuum cleaner bag. You can boil dried herbs in your kitchen or fill a spray bottle with water and afew drops of your favorite oil to scent the air. I sprinkle grapefruit or bergamot oil unto my wooden kitchen table and wipe it with mineral oil, so many ways to experience the power of scents. Enjoy!

If you can't soak it out over night, throw it away. If you don't get the scorch mark off the pan, you'll continue to burn food in that spot.

Fill the pan halfway with water and 1/4 cup of baking soda and boil. Loosen burned food with a wooden spoon.-I usually throw it away.

If you have good sturdy pots and pans then you should be able to get it off. I use a product called Kleen King that cleans stainless and copper. It is an abrasive powder cleanser. Put some water in the pot and sprinkle some of this. Then scrub and if it all doesn't come out, scrub again. This stuff is also good for the filmy looking stuff left when you can't get stuck on rice or pasta off the bottom of a pot.

Also the baking soda soak like Michelle says works. Put water in the pot, add some baking soda to cover the bottom, turn on to simmer for 15 to 30  minutes, maybe even an hour on low. Then take it off and scrape the pan with a wooden spoon. Repeat if it all doesn't come off. Repeat until it does.

Try to collect some sturdy stainless pans... Products by Adaimo, Atlas, Viking. The Calphalon gets discolored after a while. I have had my Atlas pans for 25 to 30 years now and sometimes the handle attachment has loosened, but the pan cleans up with the slightest elbow grease(what an odd term) and you'll have them for years. I have found that you have to really burn something for the pan to burn with these sturdy and beautiful stainless pots and pans. They are very expensive. Ask you parents for some for gifts from time to time. Your local kitchen store will carry these and William Sonoma and Sur la Table does for sure.If you buy a really good stainless pan, you will not ever have to throw it away.

For me rubber gloves, a sponge, and Comet. Got to watch that blue stiff if there are dogs in the house partaking in a drink now and then. Those scrub brushes are popular but they are so ugly and germy.

A matter of personal preference but some machines may recommend what they say works best for performance.

I always use powder, but thinking about it, a liquid might be nice as I still sometimes get a soap residue of the powder in my dishwasher. At least you can see the powder. The liquid might leave some translucent residue. I guess I really don't know....
