Do you have a small scratch on your car that you would love to get rid of? Then do what the pro's do. Car dealerships encounter small marks on new paint jobs quite often. How do they remove them? Take silly putty and wet it. Then rub back and forth over the scratch! If it is a very superficial scratch, you can actually remove it from the car's paint. Deeper scratches may not disappear, but can certainly be reduced.

Face it. Nothing, and we mean nothing, smells worse than spoiled milk spilled on the carpet of your car. So how do you remove the old milk smell from your car? Some will say buy a new car. But we have a few tricks up our sleeve that should help to take that nasty milk smell right out.

If you have a steam cleaner, start with that. This will pull some of the old milk out while cleaning the area. Then, go to your local pet store and purchase a bottle of cat and dog urine odor remover. This is an enzyme cleaner that will break down the protein in the milk that has soaked in to your carpet. Saturate the carpet with the enzyme cleaner and blot. Now, place crumpled newspaper around the smelly spot to help absorb the odor.

If the car still smells after using the enzyme odor remover, mix warm water, vinegar, baking soda and dish detergent together and pour over the old milk. Do not rub, but rather blot the liquid with thick towels. Place more newspaper around the smelly carpet to absorb any remaining odor.

With cold weather comes ice, and lots of it for many. Sooner than we know, we will be in the driveway trying to scrape layers of ice off of our windshields.

This year, be sure to stock up on your vinegar before the ice storms begin. To keep the ice from forming on your windshield, mix one part vinegar to three parts water. Coat your windshield with this solution to stop ice from forming overnight.
