If you've just moved into a new home, you might wonder what to do with the cache of now-empty cardboard boxes. Sure, you can flatten them and either save them for future moves or recycle them, but you can also give them to someone to reuse. The easiest solution is to post on a website like Craigslist or FreeCycle that you have free moving boxes to give away. But you can also let your real estate agent know, and they can connect you with someone in the neighborhood who may be moving, too. Local nonprofits like Goodwill are also in need of boxes to move things.

While outdoor cushions are designed to withstand the elements, they can also get dirty and develop surface mildew. Before you reach for bleach to clean them (which can discolor the fabric), try something cleaner and more effective instead: a power washer. The pressure of a power washer is enough to blast the grime, dirt and mildew off the cushions. When clean, lean the cushions against a sunny wall so they can dry out thoroughly.

Cast iron is a time-tested favorite of home cooks for its durability and natural nonstick surface. But any lover of cast iron knows this: Rust is the enemy! When you wash your cast-iron pan, it's imperative to make sure it's completely dry before putting it away. Even a little dampness or a few droplets of water can create rust stains overnight. To prevent this, scrub your pan clean and place it back on top of your cooktop. Then turn it on and let the pan heat up and dry out completely. Cool and store for future use.
