HOME MADE WEED KILLER Aside from pulling by hand, another natural way to treat weeds is by spraying a combination of vinegar, salt and liquid dish soap onto them. To make this solution, take two liters of white vinegar, add 250 grams of salt and about half a tablespoon of liquid dish soap. The vinegar and salt kill the plant while the dish soap ensures it sticks to the plant. Spray the mixture onto your weeds at the hottest time of day and focus on the center of the weed for maximum effect. Within a few hours the weed should start to shrivel up and die. A few applications might be needed for a larger weed. Finally, remember, this home made solution won't differentiate between weeds and plants that you want to keep, so be careful where you apply it.

MICROWAVE CLEANING HACK Avoiding turning the oven or stove on during the hottest days of the year often means cooking and reheating leftovers in a microwave. And unfortunately, that can lead to spills, splatters and other messes. A quick and easy way to clean the interior of your microwave is to place a cup of water in the center of the turntable (in a microwave safe dish) and heat it for two to five minutes. The steam will loosen bits of grease and debris which can easily be wiped away with a microfiber cloth. For harder to remove debris, add a tablespoon of vinegar, lemon juice or baking soda to the water before you microwave it.
