Window frames can be tricky to clean. And they are a magnet for dust and dirt, or worse -- condensation that can lead to mold. To get into the crevices, employ a toothbrush sprayed with a tiny spritz of furniture polish. It works!

Ever wonder how long your peanut butter will last? On the pantry shelf, you can expect it to hold for 7-12 months if stored in a cool dark place. After opening, it will last 3-4 months in the fridge.

 Smudged mascara? Remove it on the fly with a little bit of lip balm. Simply run your finger over the lip balm, then carefully remove the smudge. You also can put a bit of the lip balm on a tissue and use that instead.

Stick-down carpet tiles are great for making a path from where you park your car in the garage to the door. It makes a nice nonslip surface.

Use a lint roller to remove dust from a lampshade with fabric that is flat but textured. If your lampshade has pleats, your best bet is a clean soft paintbrush.

Lemons and limes last longer in the cooler. Say that three times fast, and stick your citrus in the fridge!
