Wet a cloth or sponge, squeeze out excess water and wipe the glass. Dry with either a soft cloth or paper towel. Try this with your vehicle windows, too!

. Halo there, I’m M’Caw the Parrot and I have a tip I’d love to share. If you happen to drop a small screw, a contact lens or anything small and difficult to locate, a great way to find it is to get the vacuum nozzle out, cover it with a piece cut from a stocking and put it over the nozzle tightly with an elastic band.

. If you have fruit trees like apple trees and you would like them to produce nice, big fruit, gently pick the young fruit off when it’s a bit smaller than a golf ball.
