When it comes to beauty products like makeup, lipstick, brushes and sponges, it can be difficult to keep them clean and germ-free. One of the easiest ways to disinfect products without ruining them is to fill a misting bottle with isopropyl alcohol. Misting the outer layer of makeup products (like directly onto a compact or lipstick) is enough to kill germs and bacteria. Just spray and allow to naturally dissipate and dry before using. The same goes for all of the small tools, brushes and sponges you might use, too.

Shopping at flea markets, thrift stores and antique shops is an eco-friendly way to buy tableware and find some unique items, too. But one might wonder: Are old forks, spoons and knives safe to use for eating food? Since it’s impossible to know the origins of the items, it’s best to give them a thorough disinfecting clean. Just immerse the metal utensils in boiling water and let them simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. This will kill anything that may be living on them, and as an added bonus, it’ll also remove the tarnish.

Tired of snails and slugs eating all of the flowers, herbs and vegetables in your garden? Instead of using chemicals and traps, get cracking with eggs instead. When you scatter eggshells around the base of a plant, they do two things. First, eggshells are rich in calcium, so they will break down and add nutrients to the soil. But second, the jagged edges of eggshells ward off snails and slugs; when those creatures come in contact with an eggshell, they immediately turn around because it’s too sharp for them to crawl over.
