An automatic dishwasher is more energy- and water-efficient than washing by hand. But if your dishwasher isn't doing the swell job it did when you first got it, it may be time to actually wash the dishwasher. Start by filling a large water glass with white vinegar and propping it upright inside the dishwasher; run the dishwasher as normal, and the vinegar will help break down stains and build-up inside. Also, just propping the dishwasher door slightly ajar after each use will help keep the inside dry and free of mold and mildew.

There are new brands of all-purpose body/hair/face bar soaps hitting the market that do a wonderful job of getting you clean without the waste of plastic bottles in the shower. But over time, bar soaps of any kind break down and get soggy. One trick is to place a new sponge on the soap dish or shelf where you keep your bar of soap. Then simply place the bar of soap on top of the sponge. The soap will no longer be sitting in a pool of water, and it won’t stick to the dish or shelf, making it easier to handle and use.

Are you a fan of kombucha? It’s the health drink that’s a mix of tea with yeast and good bacteria. If you have leftover kombucha, there are other uses for it around the house. It’s an effective insecticide that can help prevent invasive pests from getting into your house. You can also dilute a jar of kombucha with a gallon of water and use it to hydrate and feed plants in your garden. It helps add acidity, and your plants will love the kombucha boost.
