To remove grease stains from granite. #4846
Make a poultice (soft, moist mass) by combining flour and dish detergent (like Dawn)
Apply the poultice to the stain and cover the area with plastic wrap. Let it set overnight.
Wipe it away and then wash the area with soapy water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth. And to prevent the stains wipe up spills quickly before they have time to penetrate, in addition, you can seal granite to protect it from stains; ask a stone or granite supplier.

Saving Energy #3759
When buying clothes dryer ask for models with a moisture sensor.
A sensor automatically stops the machine when clothes are dry, this can minimize shrinking on your clothes and your wallet.

Is that squeaky floor driving you nuts? #4991
Fill a clean bottle from a hair-dye kit with baby powder, and then squeeze its tip between floorboards that are rubbing together.
