A fruit fly trap that's more sanitary than just a glass of wine: Put some balsamic vinegar in a jar with a bit of water. Cover the jar with a piece of plastic wrap. Poke holes large enough for fruit flies to get in but not get out. Voila.
Stinky shoes? Put a 1/4 cup or so of baking soda in the center of a washcloth. Add tea tree or eucalyptus essential oil to the baking soda. Twist the washcloth so the baking soda won't get out, and tuck inside your stinky shoe. Alternately, using a clean sock and knotting it off works.
Most of my household hints come from How Clean is Your House? Thanks, Kim and Aggie!
And will, cats will also hunt spiders and flies (in addition to the usual rodents), if you have a feisty enough cat. One of ours will jump 4 feet in the air to catch a fly. Very cool to see!
