Household Tips

Say so long to hard water deposits!
To remove hard water deposits from your dishwasher, start with an empty dishwasher. Add one cup of Limeaway (available at the grocery or hardware store) to the main wash cycle. Voila, hard water stains are gone.

Use your iron will to lower electric bills!
Irons can eat up electricity. Here' are two tips to make ironing more efficient. Always iron fabrics needing the coolest setting first, working your way up-this way your ironing is working while it's heating up. Also place aluminum foil under the iron board cover to reflect heat onto garments. These tips will take a few wrinkles out of your electric bill.

Keep your hot water bills from boiling over!
For safety and efficiency, keep your water heater unit set at 120 degrees. Try wrapping your water heater with an insulated fiberglass blanket kit to keep heat from escaping.

Shut out the high cost of cooling your home!
Reduce your air conditioning costs by closing drapes, shades or shutters during the day. At night open them back up!
