Ever wonder how to get the last bit of liquid cleanser, hand soap or household cleaner out of the bottle without having to unscrew the top and dump it out? Do one thing: Add glass marbles to the bottle. When the bottle is about one-third full, toss in a few glass marbles to help raise the liquid amount inside the bottle. This will help the pump reach the remaining liquid without affecting the efficacy of whatever liquid is inside. Just be sure the glass marbles are clean.

Sure, an organized closet with all of your garments on hangers looks great, but it may not be doing any good for some of those items, specifically sweaters. No matter what kind of hanger you use, hanging sweaters will cause them to stretch and lose their shape quickly. If you want to extend the life of your sweaters, it's best to fold them instead of hanging. And here's a useful tip if you're short on space: Fold your sweaters in half and lay them over the rod in your closet.

Before it gets too cold outside, take advantage of the cooler air to ventilate and detox the inside of your car. Park your car outside and open all of the windows to flush out the odors and toxins building up inside. Remove floor mats and vacuum them well; leave them in the bright sun to naturally deodorize them. And don't forget to pop the trunk and remove any unnecessary items while you're at it -- de-cluttering helps to lighten the load and improve your car's MPG.
