Lingering winter storms mean de-iced, salt-covered sidewalks. To naturally remove salt stains from your shoes, just mix hot water with a few tablespoons of white vinegar. Use a soft rag to buff the salt right off your shoes.

Fuzzy sweaters? Resurrect them in a jiffy by rubbing a pumice stone lightly over the surface. It'll pick up all the "fuzzies" and make it look as good as new.

A waxy situation. If a burning candle drips melted wax all over your tabletop or your sofa, don't stress. Let it cool completely and chip off the excess wax with the edge of a credit card. Place a paper towel on top of the waxy mess and place a warm iron on top of the towel; it'll melt the wax, and the towel will absorb it. Repeat until the mess is totally gone.
