$100 Visa Gift Card for one of You (and one for Under the Tree too!)
‘Tis the season for cooking, cleaning, decorating, hosting…
The holidays are busy for almost everyone – and especially for Moms!

So, Scott Common Sense wants to help with their fun, informative site, www.scottcommonsense.com. The site includes great tips on surviving the holidays and so much more. I love this tip I just picked up at their site. I am so going to try it!
“Peel Potatoes with SCOTT Towels
Boil potatoes with the skin on. When done, drain. Fold a SCOTT Towel in half and pick up a hot potato. Gently rub the potato back and forth and the skin comes right off. Shake the potato skin off and reuse the towel. It saves time and clean up. When finished, just discard the towel or, better yet, go green and place the towel and the peelings into a compost pile for next spring’s gardening.” -tip from Scott Common Sense Community
And to make sure we really celebrate making life a bit easier this holiday season, Scott Common Sense is giving one lucky reader a $100 Visa Gift Card to put towards your holiday shopping, along with a year’s supply of Scott Bath and Towel products to help you through holiday spills!

Here’s a tip I could have used this summer:
To stain deck railings quickly and easily, use rubber gloves and put on 2 pairs of old socks over them. Then, just dip your hands into the stain, squeeze out the excess stain and rub your “hands” over the spindles. It’s much faster than using a paint brush!

This is my favorite. My necklaces always get tangled!
STRAW NECKLACE
USE A STRAW TO KEEP NECKLACE CHAINS FROM TANGLING. EVEN BENDY STRAWS WORK WELL. JUST CUT A SMALL SLIT IN THE END OF THE STRAW AND FEED THE CHAIN THROUGH THE STRAW. AT THE OTHER END OF THE STRAW WILL BE THE DECORATION ON YOUR NECKLACE; SO CUT A SLIT IN THAT END OF THE STRAW AND YOUR DECORATION WILL LAY FLAT IN YOUR JEWELRY DRAWER.

Easy to Find
I store items in colored storage containers. So in order to know what’s inside, I take a picture or download one on the computer, print it out and place it on the container. I always know what’s inside. It’s great for kids’ rooms too — they’ll always know where certain toys or art supplies are!

nice tip
Amber @ 1:55 pm
my fav tip -
Don’t you hate when cooking oil drips down the bottle after each use, and you’re left with a sticky, greasy residue on the bottle and shelf? You can easily avoid this by placing a folded SCOTT Towel around the bottom and then placing it in a plastic sandwich bag. To stop drips from the top, fold another SCOTT Towel and rubber band it around the cap. You’ll appreciate the oil in your cooking and not everywhere else!!
Thanks for a chance to win!

‘No-fuss Broken Glass:
When my grandchildren come to visit, a glass always gets broken. Don’t panic — those little shards of glass are easy to pick up without a cut or splinter. Sweep up the big pieces, and for the little pieces that you can’t get with the dustpan, use a piece of bread. It works every time. No fuss, no mess!’
With 3 little ones under 7 – things get broken A.LOT.

I am a single mom with 5 daughters… this one is invaluable!!

This is definitely a tip I could use!
Fill a coffee mug 3/4 full with water. Place it in the microwave and heat it until it boils. Carefully remove the mug after 2 minutes and wipe out the microwave with a SCOTT Towel. No scrubbing and super easy!
Count me in please!

Great giveaway. Here is my entry, I visted the Scott website & like this tip:
Everyday Bed Making in a Snap!When you put your clean linens on your bed, take a couple extra minutes to pin together the top of the sheets, blankets and comforter. (Use big safety pins you can find in either the sewing section or craft section, like old diaper pins.) It only takes about 4, spaced apart. In the morning before you leave, it takes just a couple of pulls and toss on the pillows. This works really great with kids and husbands!

I would love to win the gift card and the bath and towel products! My favorite tip is this one –
Not So Fast!To stop my grandaughter (2-1/2 yrs old) from unrollling the entire role of SCOTT Tissue while trying to potty train her, I first flatten the cardboard tube of toilet paper and then put in on the roller in reverse. It is harder for her to reach, and going the wrong way. The crease in the cardboard center prevents the roll from rolling too fast.

My favorite is:
Remove Gum from a Dryer
Oh, dear! Gum left in a pocket in the laundry? Spray the mess with laundry spot cleaner and set the dryer on heat for 10 minutes. Then use an old sock or washcloth to remove the semi soft gum. It works perfectly!
For some reason my son loves to “save” his gum for later. This is a good tip!

Carolyn @ 4:07 pm
It was good – I never thought about how many germs are on magazines in the doctor’s office!

I love this tip:
The tube from a SCOTT Towel roll fits well over the vacuum hose. Place it over the hose and pinch the end almost flat. Remove the dryer lint trap and vacuum the lint that you can’t reach from behind the trap. A cleaner lint trap is a safer one!
Thanks for the chance!

The Mommy @ 4:14 pm
Thank you so much for such a generous giveaway! My favorite tip is in the organising section, a post from Jean in NY, wo said:
“I save all the return address labels from my holiday cards, and tape them into an address book (or you could use a notebook). When I need to send a holiday card or birthday day cards during the year, I have everything, including the zip code +4. It is very handy to have this nearby.”
I’m always struggling to find everyone’s address at Christmas for cards, so this is a great tip for me!

My fave tip:
When my grandchildren come to visit, a glass always gets broken. Don’t panic — those little shards of glass are easy to pick up without a cut or splinter. Sweep up the big pieces, and for the little pieces that you can’t get with the dustpan, use a piece of bread. It works every time. No fuss, no mess!

I like this idea – Dryer Sheets/Fabric Softener Money Saver
I buy the expensive fabric softener, but I place a dime sized amount on a washcloth and throw it in the dryer. I use use the same washcloth over and over. I use one bottle a year verses one bottle per month. What a great saver. I also use the washcloth to wipe away the lint catch. So easy and you save soooo much!

Make your dough for bread in your bread machine. After it is done mixing, spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray, place the dough on the pan and cover it with plastic, then freeze. I make lots of loaves of bread, freeze them and remove them from the freezer when we want fresh bread. Just let it thaw, rise and bake.
I love this idea and can’t wait to do it!

This is my favorite tip from their website:
Don’t throw away those used toothbrushes. Use them as mini scrub-brushes to clean all those tiny spaces that are hard to clean with standard methods. That includes the hinges of your toilet seat, window and patio door tracks and seams of cabinet doors. Use your imagination. After all, you paid for them once and now they can serve a second purpose.
Thank so much!

I never would have thought of that… Thanks!

I had to use this once the kids started school and were exposed to gum from the other kids…
To get gum out of someone’s hair, try putting peanut butter on the hair. Just rub the peanut butter through briskly where the gum is located until gone. To get out the last little bit of the gum, use wet SCOTT towels soaked with dish soap, and rub it through the strands of hair until all the pieces of hair are cleaned from top to bottom. This is a sure cure for kids.

After a thorough cleaning of your shower, follow up with an application of car wax on your tiled walls. You’ll find that your shower self-cleans better, and the wax makes it easier for quick wipe-downs. It’s a big help if you have hard water.

I liked the little tips on speed cleaning for unexpected guests and how the last thing to spiffy up is YOU. How many times do I race into speed cleaning after a friend has called to tell me they are 10 minutes away and then answer the door with my hair in a mess and no lipstick on? Anyhow, that tip made me giggle.

Tip I found interesting- I use a SCOTT Towel as a baby bib while I am feeding my grandchildren. It makes for very easy clean up! And the SCOTT Towel easily catches anything they don’t.

Becky Grayson @ 9:05 am
I LOVE this tip:
Prevent Spills and Messes One of my favorite things I did for myself is line the trunk of my car with a table cloth. It’s pretty to look at, and it makes cleaning the trunk so much easier. When you come home from the garden center and a couple of pots have fallen over and spread dirt, you just roll up the table cloth, shake it out (or wash if necessary) and then put it back – the trunk is clean and neat for the next task.

My favorite tip is:
When you go to the doctor’s office, bring your own reading material. Think of how many sick people have handled the magazines in the waiting room!
That is so true! And when I take my kids to the pediatrician, I don’t let them play with the office toys. Sick kids have had their hands all over them!

Here’s my favorite tip!
If you’re in the bathroom after lunch and you notice that your face is shiny, grab a seat cover and dab the shiny spots. It works like an expensive oil-absorbing sheet: It doesn’t remove all your makeup, but it can reduce the shine as if you’ve applied powder.

kind of like the scott towel trick, but cooking with nuts -
After roasting nuts, place them in a clean hand towel and roll them around to remove the skin. Works best with hazelnuts, but can be used with walnuts, pecans, and almonds.

This is a great tip! To stop my grandaughter (2-1/2 yrs old) from unrollling the entire role of SCOTT Tissue while trying to potty train her, I first flatten the cardboard tube of toilet paper and then put in on the roller in reverse. It is harder for her to reach, and going the wrong way. The crease in the cardboard center prevents the roll from rolling too fast.

When my grandchildren come to visit, a glass always gets broken. Don’t panic — those little shards of glass are easy to pick up without a cut or splinter. Sweep up the big pieces, and for the little pieces that you can’t get with the dustpan, use a piece of bread. It works every time. No fuss, no mess!

this is my fav tip
Cool, Dry and Great Smelling Feet
Save money by making your own replacement shoe insoles. Remove the insole from both shoes. Put together two sheets of SCOTT Shop Towels on a Roll, fold in half, crease and tape the sheets together. Trace one insole on the top sheet, cut out the shape from all the sheets and tape them together at the top. Sprinkle talcum powder, baby powder or foot powder on each sheet, then tape your newly made insole to the original insole. Repeat for the other foot. Carefully replace the insole in your shoes. My SCOTT insoles last about three wearings, but what a difference they have made for my tender feet. Making insoles is a good rainy day project and is so inexpensive!
Hubby works outside no matter what the weather and his shoes get nasty so this was a cool tip to help stop the funk!!!

Here’s a good useful tip for me that I found on there sight….The best way to remove stuck-on food in any pan is to put baking soda and water in it and boil for a few minutes. The mess will come out very easily.

ooh! I like this one!
Dry Your Hair Quicker
Blow-drying hair can be time consuming and damages hair, especially for those with long hair. After washing your hair, use SCOTT Towels to dab and squeeze excess water out of your hair. Place the ends of your hair between 2 sheets of SCOTT Towels and squeeze, then blot the rest of your head with an additional Towel. Of course, for short hair you can probably use just one Towel. Your hair drying time will be cut in at least half or you can let your hair dry naturally much quicker and with less damage than that caused by the heat of a blow-dryer.
Very helpful in the morning!

“Take a straw and insert it from the bottom of the strawberry and push it out through the top. The straw will pop out the green stem and will waste very little of your strawberry.”
Okay, this is SO simple and not a life-changing tip or anything, but this totally stuck out to me because I LOVE strawberries and hate de-stemming them because I can never get it quite right. I’m definitely going to use this quick tip from now on!

What a great giveaway! I love the following tip:
Boil potatoes with the skin on. When done, drain. Fold a SCOTT Towel in half and pick up a hot potato. Gently rub the potato back and forth and the skin comes right off. Shake the potato skin off and reuse the towel. It saves time and clean up. When finished, just discard the towel or, better yet, go green and place the towel and the peelings into a compost pile for next spring’s gardening

I could not resist any article containing the words “Stress Less” at this time of year. I just spent a fortune on a turkey and can’t imagine how I am going to squeeze the rest of the holiday out of my budget.
So, the tip:
Keep your focus on people, not things.
In other words, family togetherness, not the gifts you’re buying for everyone, is what really matters. Paring down your gift exchanges might meet with relief, not disappointment, from the adult recipients.
Really, really hit home for me!
