Homemade Cleaner Makes Tub & Shower Sparkle Almost Effortlessly


I have tried lots of different cleaners, bleach included, nothing i repeat NOTHING has ever cleaned my tub this easy and this amazingly. I sprayed this on, left it for 15-20 minutes. Went in there with my scrub brush and just wiped it, didn't really even scrub it but in a couple places and my tub is sparkling! Why didn't i find this before? It really seems to good to be true!
I have had issues with this tub because since we bought it it had a draining issue which means water stood in the tub longer then it should because of the slow drain. This meant grim piled on easier. It got to the point where it wouldn't drain at all. Hubby fixed the pipes and after he was done, the tub was grosser then gross. This way the first time i used this cleaner (just now... literally just got done rising the tub). I am blown away, you have to try this! No more store bought bathroom cleaners for me!

How to Freeze Milk



When you find milk on sale - or even better, on managers special - buy more than you need to freeze for a later time. 
Milk is an essential item in our home, and at $3 a gallon I definitely stock up on it when it gets marked down to $1.99/gallon. 
Here are some tips for you to use when freezing milk.

Instructions

  1. If both the gallon and half gallons are on sale for the same price buy the half gallons. These freeze faster, fit better in the freezer and defrost quicker.
  2. Open each of the jugs and empty out a little more than an inch from the top to account for it expanding when frozen. On full gallons I empty 1 cup and put it in a half gallon milk container i have saved for that purpose.
  3. To defrost the milk you can either place it on the counter for a couple of hours, put it in a sink full of cold water or put it in the fridge to defrost.
  4. When the milk is defrosted you will need to shake it thoroughly before using.
  5. You will want to use the milk within a few days of defrosting it.
Tips & Info
  • The milk can remain frozen for a few months.
  • Milk will turn yellow when frozen but don't worry when it thaws it will go back to being white.
  • It takes about a day to a day and a half to thaw a full gallon.
  • I suggest marking the date you pulled out the milk to thaw on the container because you have about 7 days until that milk will most likely go bad.
  • You can repackage the milk and freeze it in smaller quantities.
