REPELLING MOSQUITOES
1.  Put some water in a white dinnerplate and add a couple of drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dish detergent.  Set the dish outside where you want to get rid of mesquitoes.  Not sure what attracts the mosquitoes but they will flock to it, and drop dead shortly after drinking it, and usually within 10 feet of the plate.
2.  Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets.  Just wipe on; repels mesquitoes.
3.  One outdoorsman suggests taking a vitamin B1 every day, says it works good for him and everyone he has do it.
4.  This one will floor you; one of the best insect repellents is vicks vapor rub.
5.  Many say there is no better insect repellant than Avon Skin So Soft bath oil mixed with 1/2 alcohol.
6.  Clear vanilla, the pure kind from Mexico also acts as a good insect repellent.  lick here to add your text.
STAIN REMOVAL
1.  Blood stains.
Keep in  mind when dealing with blood stains, the sooner you treat them, the more likely they will be removed.  These methods work on clothing or carpet.
Run an ice cube over the blood stain if the item is to big to wash, then blot with a clean cloth.
Remove a stubborn blood stain with hydrogen peroxide.  Apply the peroxide to the stain and let it bubble; then repeat until the stain is gone.  Blot after each application.
Pour cold milk on the blood stain and leave for a few minutes, then rinse with cool water.


STAINLESS STEEL
1.  For small items, soak them in warm water, then rub them with lemon juice or vinegar and rinse them well.
2.  To clean and polish; dampen a cloth with white or cider vinegar and wipe clean.
3.  Stainless steel worktops and sinks can be protected with baby oil or olive oil after cleaning.
4.  For eat stains on the bottom of your cookware or cook top, rub it with a cloth dampened with club soda.
