Two Weeks Worth of Reuse

by Jennifer on January 5th, 2008

Almost all items at your house have more than one possible use. Many have reuse possibilities. Before you toss (or even recycle) consider some reuse options. Here’s two weeks worth of ideas to get you going.

1. Aluminum foil

    Thank you! The aluminum foil link helped me fix a big mess I created Friday night when I ALMOST caught my kitchen on fire.

    I accidentally slid a pot holder under the baking dish in the toaster oven. Yeah, there was a lot of smoke and a crusty red (from the deceased pot holder) stuck to the grill rack of the toaster oven. I have been soaking it and trying to clean it with a nylon brush.

    I was about to give up and go buy some steel brushes, but the aluminum foil ball works! : )

    These are great, Jennifer! I love the coffee grounds link, I never knew you could use coffee grounds as a kitty repellent. Who woulda thunk? Hope your New Year is off to a great start!
