Did you know the retail chain Best Buy makes it easy to recycle home electronics? They have long taken things like broken televisions, laptops, desktop computers, cellphones and printers to recycle free of charge. But did you know they take small appliances for recycling, too? This includes things like hair dryers, curling irons, vacuums and turntables. For an extensive list of items they accept (and many they don't), visit BestBuy.com. There's a limit of three items per day for this program.

When your refrigerator stinks, all you need are two simple ingredients to make it smell fresh again: orange peel and salt. Fill a plate with regular table salt and toss orange peel right on top, then place it inside your fridge. It works because the salt is naturally odor-absorbent and the orange peel will leave behind a fresh, clean scent. Leave it inside the fridge overnight for best results.

It's bound to happen: You lost the match for one of your socks. So what to do with unpartnered socks? Save them for when you want to quickly get wrinkles out of your clothing. Toss your wrinkled shirts or pants into the dryer and saturate a few stray socks with water so they are damp, but not dripping wet. Toss the socks into the dryer and let it run for a few minutes. The wet socks will create steam and help release wrinkles in your clothes. Bonus use for an unmated sock: Cover an ice pack so the sock protects your skin from direct contact.
