Baking soda in the refrigerator will soak up odors (don't know if this counts since they started adding this to the box some time ago...)

Tomato juice soak for body odor
We wouldn’t do this ourselves, but an old, traditional body-odor treatment was to add 2 or 3 cups of tomato juice to bathwater and soak in the solution for 15 minutes. The effectiveness of this harmless treatment has never been verified — but since it’s also used for bathing dogs who’ve gotten “skunked,” there must be something to it.

Callus cure
Here’s an odd-sounding folk cure that home remedy experts swear by. Soak a half slice of stale bread in apple cider vinegar. Use adhesive tape to secure it to the affected part of your foot. Wrap with plastic wrap and cover with a cotton sock. In the morning, your corn or callus may be history!

Ice cream for Pizza Burn
The tissue on the roof of your mouth is only a few millimeters thick, so it's very sensitive to hot foods. If you didn't wait to let that pepperoni slice cool down, soothe your scorched mouth with a spoonful of ice cream or frozen yogurt. "The cool can bring temporary relief," says Richard Antaya, MD. Swigging a cold drink or putting an ice cube in your mouth should also do the trick, but be sure to remove the cube quickly before it becomes painful.

And if it doesn't work, hey, pizza and ice cream! :thumbs:

Apple for whiter teeth
Crunchy fruits and vegetables act as little toothbrushes when you chew them; they have a natural cleansing action that works on tooth enamel to remove stains. In particular, "apples have a gentle malic acid that also helps dissolve stains," says Jennifer Jabow, DDS, of Park 56 Dental in New York City.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a Universal antioxidant that works both inside and outside the cells, giving increased protection from free radicals. In addition to alleviating diabetic neuropathy for those suffering from diabetes, ALA can help to control blood sugar levels by helping the body to use glucose.

9/15 #1 use salt to
clean glass coffee pot

To "Piggy-Back' on this . . . Actually, I have used a Tablespoon of Salt, with the addition of Ice Cubes, covered with Water and a touch of Vinegar - swish around gently . . . This really helps to remove not only the "Coffee" build up, but any "Hard Water" sentiment too . . . As does - Pouring a whole bottle of White Vinegar into the Water reserve in an automatic Coffee Pot - then running it to rid it of "Hard Water" sentiment built up there too . . . Just remember, although it may sound counter productive, make sure to run an additional few pots of water to rinse out the Automatic Coffee Pot of the Vinegar . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

Home and folk remedies

I had horrible asthma when I was a kid up until I started to vape.

Whenever I had a tough time breathing and was in between nebulizer doses my mom would boil water and throw in some ginger root. Boil a few minutes and take off heat. I would place my head over the pot and she would put a towel over my head and I would inhale the vapers. It would help open my airways and smelled so yummy.
