Pine-Sol Magic

Household tip #1

Has food been sitting in your fridge for so long that you fear your Tupperware has been compromised?

Come on, we all know how it goes. Soups, casseroles, gravies--when they're forgotten the plastic-ware used to house them takes on its own aroma, reminding you of that tortilla soup you had six weeks ago and didn't get around to cleaning up until last Thursday.

But fear not, desperate housewives! Pine-Sol works wonders, eliminating signs of plastic-smell-absorption within minutes. Simply have your husband dump the old soup in the alley. Pour a bit of Pine-Sol directly into the smelly Tupperware. Fill with warm water. Let sit. Rinse out, and presto! Your plastic-ware smells good as new!

But don't take my word for it. Go on, dig out those neglected side dishes and give it a go!
