They link to some neat (but not cheap) collapsable measuring cups. I actually need to get some US measuring cups so I don’t have to go through the painful conversion process so maybe I’ll indulge. Or maybe I’ll find some that are less expensive.

Good to see that CableOrganizer.com are advertising on them. I think I first found out about them from one of their ads on Penny-Arcade and have lusted after their cable tamers ever since.
 

Easy Homemade Deodoriser: Fill a spray bottle with water or vinegar with around 12 drops of essential oils.

Multipurpose Herb Vinegar: Take a glass jar and put into it, 1 cup of chopped herbs (eg mint or basil – she also suggests chives and parsley). Heat 2 cups white wine vinegar and pour over the hebs. Seal the jar with the lid and leave to sit for 3 weeks. Shake the jar every other day. When the three weeks are up, strain and decanter into a spray bottle for deodorising goodness! As a bonus, apparently it can also be used on pets, in salads, to clean glass and for sunburns. Talk about multipurpose.

One of the readers also recommended a 1:1 mix of water and cheap vodka. I think adding some helpful essential oils like lavender or tea tree (if you’re not allergic to it!) would make that even better.

Tipnut also has some very nifty Homemade Herbal Cleaner Recipes. I’m going to have to try out at least one of them because the last time I used the commercial cleaner at work to clean my desk, it gave me such a painful headache, I was knocked out for the night.

A commenter called nabinabita had this to say:
It is an idea in Japan.
Japan imported ” the T shirt ” from the Europe and America.
Japan exported ” an idea ” to the country in the foreign country.
I am glad.
Popularize ” the idea in Japan ” more.

Cool.
