If you want to naturally detox your shoes from the inside out, look no further than a sheet of newspaper. Newspaper is designed to absorb ink, so it also absorbs other things, like excess moisture and toxins. Stuff newspaper inside your shoes, then rest your shoes on top of more newsprint: All the chemicals, fertilizer, dirt, bacteria and lead your shoes pick up will be absorbed into the newspaper.

Instead of poisons or glue traps to keep field mice out of your home, try prevention to live in harmony with them. Use a flashlight outside your home at night to try to find small holes or cracks mice may find to enter. Plug those holes with steel wool or insulation; doing this not only prevents entry for mice, it also helps insulate your home! Field mice also hate the smell of ammonia, so you can soak cotton balls and leave them at points of entry, too, as a repellant.

It solves two problems: It lets you dispose of old oil properly, and professionals will recycle the plastic container.
