    I am looking around the squid for money saving ideas. This lens seems to be highly recommended. Everyone like to save money, and now is a good time to start.

    I agree with Aquariann 5 star lens! I have heard in commercials people can use household materials in other ways as well. They can also use fruits, vegetables, and meats to help cure his or her sickness as well. Lemons and oranges can also be used to clean bathrooms-toilets, and the floors. They both have powerful oils and acids in them to clean dirty things with. I know I used to work as an custodian. You can use apples to freshen air with.

    Your lenses are amazingly well designed. Well done.

    Looks like a fun and useful book. And I love to tell people that I used ***** to polish my shoes....and watch their reactions.
  • youhavegottobekidding Aug 25, 2008 @ 9:02 pm | delete
    Wow this is really a Well Researched Lens. I was really amazed in the part where you said that banana peels could be use as a shoe shine. I can't wait to try it tonight.

    5 stars for you Very Helpful Lens.

    Great lens, I'm always amazed at what things work to remove stains. I do have a great little stain book, but I must look at that one too.

    Only last week my friend's 2 year old took a biro to a piece of wooden furniture, we looked it up and tried a non-acetone nail polish remover - it came up like new!!
