A Lehmann’s Household Tips for January

Household tips for January:

• If you have a decal on a mirror or somewhere it isn’t wanted anymore, just take a rag with some warm vinegar on it and it should wipe away quite easily.

• A good way to make sure the package gets where it is supposed to go: put the address on the package with a large black marker and then put pieces of clear wide tape over the address and a few inches beyond. This way, the address stays legible even if the package gets wet.

• To clean the mineral deposit from a shower head, soak it in white vinegar for a while.
