			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You work hard. You multitask. Many of the items you have in cupboards and drawers can be doing the same. Most households have a number of low cost “double-duty” items on hand. The majority of these multi-duty products cost less than a couple of dollars. The next time you stain a shirt, smell something unpleasant, or slap at a pesky bug, think about these items. Not only will you be going green, you will be saving money too.</p>
<h2>Alka-Seltzer</h2>
<p>Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait 20 minutes, brush and flush<br />
Remove burned food from cookware.  Fill your cookware with warm water, then dissolve six tablets and allow to sit for an hour or so.</p>
<p>Sooth Inset bites. Dissolve two tablets in water and saturate a cloth or cotton ball with the solution, and place on the bite for 30 minutes. Don’t do this if you are allergic to aspirin, which is a key ingredient in Alka-Seltzer</p>
<h2>Aspirin</h2>
<p>Remove perspiration stains from white fabric by dissolving two aspirin in half a cup of warm water and applying to the stained fabric. Leave for a couple of hours before washing.</p>
<p>Eliminate chlorine discoloration from hair by dissolving eight tablets in a glass of water and rubbing into your hair. Leave fro about 10 minutes and then rinse and shampoo.</p>
<p>Reduce pimples by making a paste of water and crushed aspirin. Cover each pimple with this paste: rinse after a few minutes.</p>
<h2>Banana peel</h2>
<p>Polish leather shoes with a de-stringed banana peel. Finish by buffing with a soft cloth or paper towel.</p>
<p>Fend off aphids by burying a dried or cut-up banana peels a few inches deep around the base of rosebushes.</p>
<p>Treat scraped skin. Rub minor scrapes with the inside of a banana peel to promote healing.</p>
<p>Shine your houseplant leaves. Rub them down with the inside of a banana peel to remove dirt and to make them shine.</p>
