everyday items to the rescue

If you don't have any silver poish handy and need to shine silverware or jewelry, toothpaste will work well. Use a very soft brush or cloth, and rinse thoroughly. This will work on other metals like copper and gold as well.

Use rubbing alcohol to clean your phone. For the small areas, use a cotton swap. For the larger areas, use a paper towel or cloth. The alcohol will tidy up the phone and kill germs at the same time.

Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of broken glass you can't easily see.

Two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional pain relievers.

To remove a splinter, just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All on it, let dry, and peel the dry glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.
