Plastic Bottle, Funnel, Planter

2 Liter Bottle?
So, I went to make laundry soap today and I couldn't find a funnel...again. If you have kids, you know funnels and kids go together, especially at bath time. Hats, tee-pees, megaphones, it's probably in their toy box. That's a job for another day.




So, what can I use for a funnel? It has to be small enough to fit in the top of a gallon "milk" jug, but big enough to comfortably pour into from a pot. A 2 liter bottle! If I cut it in half I have the perfect size funnel for the job.




Cutting a 2 liter bottle in half not only gives me the perfect funnel, but also a cute little planter.



Now, to finish my laundry soap.


What have you used for a funnel in a pinch?

Vinegar

Vinegar-
I've been cleaning my floors with vinegar for years. A little vinegar in a bucket of hot water is amazing.
I've heard vinegar can be used for many other things, including glass cleaner. So the last time I ran out of glass cleaner, I decided to just use vinegar and water...and wallah! It works.
So what else does vinegar do?

Vinegar mixed with a few other ingredients can do all this and more!
Mop floors
Deodorize carpets
Clean glass
Remove mold, mildew, rust and soap scum on all kinds of items.
Fabric softener
Insect repellent, including termites!
