where do you hang the dish towel in the spanking new kitchen?
Comments (28)For thirty years, when I had one too many wet dishtowels, I threw one over the top of the door to the hall, a veneered hollow core oak door that stands open most of the time. If anyone reading this is also a practitioner of this trick, be ready to see the veneer de-laminate right at the top middle of the door on both sides, unless you urethane the heck out of it. But it's handy!...See MoreWhatever happened to the rag bag?
Comments (38)Do I hear that darned Cynic using my name in vain? Again? Rag bag - yep. But - there ain't much in it. I'm having trouble choosing some underwear briefs that are not holey and only minimally stained, but the zip in whose elastic has pretty well got up and went ... to trade to my son and his lady for new ones that they gifted me ... ... (last Christmas). Old things make good dusters ... and are useful for cleaning up spills. Wrapping around the broom, held in place by elastic bands, even synthetic material does a good job of clearing cobwebs. I find that the synthetic fibre things make reasonably good dishcloths, not being required to soak up a lot of water. I have a set of old coveralls, with hole in one leg (patched), and hole in other lag having had the seam ripped, ready to patch, but not yet patched ... that has a zipper whose slider(s) run up and down nicely, but the two sides won't stay together - I need a couple of cloths tied together to tie around my middle to turn the wind a bit. Have some holey socks that need mending ... but they aren't ready for the rag bag ... yet. Have some cotton socks that I need to darn (or patch) as I wear them over the squeezy socks (about $60. for 2 pairs) to keep them from wearing out quickly. Someone says that the socks wear mostly on the skin side ... but I figure that most of the wear takes place on the shoe side. Hope you're all having a great week ... my friend was entertaining on the weekend at the last fall fair of the season, so we're having Thanksgiving supper tonight. ole joyful...See Moremy Corian smells like a stinky dish rag
Comments (10)It may be inert and non-porous but I’m just trying to get rid of the smell. Not sure what the previous owners did but the actual countertop smells and I can’t get the smell out. It radiates throughout the kitchen sometimes. I’ve tried lysol wipes, rubbing alcohol, vinegar with baking soda. What would you recommend?...See MoreCotton rag rugs (2x3)
Comments (14)There are etsy sellers. Years ago I bought several small ones, even large ones, from PA Amish when traveling. Only one faded, none shrank, even though I washed often. Used in bathroom, kitchen and the large one was in DD2's bedroom. You cannot kill them!...See MoreMaura63
