If you throw pillows onto the floor from your bed before drifting off, it might be time to think about keeping only the pillows you actually use on the bed. Tossing decorative pillows onto the floor each night and then placing them back on your bed when you make it in the morning can lead to a dirtier sleep. The pillows pick up dirt, germs and other allergens from the floor and can deposit that gunk on your freshly made bed.

If you've just squeezed a bunch of lemons to make a batch of lemonade or salad dressing, don't toss the rinds into the compost just yet. Instead, fill a large stock pot with water and squeezed lemons, and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat and soak white fabric items like T-shirts, napkins and socks, allowing them to sit in the lemony hot water for an hour. The high amount of citric acid will brighten whites and remove stains. Just drain, wash and dry in bright sunlight to give your whites an extra boost.

Many of us keep a pitcher of water or juice in the refrigerator. But if you leave that pitcher uncovered, do one thing: Look for a lid or place a small plate on top to cover it. A refrigerator will draw moisture from uncovered liquids, which forces it to go into a "no-frost" mode. This makes it work harder and use more energy. A simple rule of thumb is: The less moisture inside your fridge, the less energy it uses to do its job.
