Frugal Village: Tulle can get gunk off dishes
This tip is going on my “I’ve got to try that” list:
Sara Noel’s Frugal Village newspaper column today (page 3E of today’s print and e-editions of The Monroe Evening News and here at Frugal Village site) leads off with a new use for craft tulle: pot scrubby details.
The tip:
My grandma gave me a mixer, and stuffed in the bowl was a piece of tulle. She told me that she uses it to wash pans. Sure enough, when I tried it, it worked great. Just ball it up, scrub away, and gunk comes off easily. The nice thing is that tulle is inexpensive, and you don’t have to worry about having a germy scrubbie laying around. If the tulle gets too icky, toss it and use a new section. — Blitzen, Ohio

That’s an old “Hints to Heloise” trick. She used to post directions every once in awhile. It’s at least 40 years old.

If you were wanting to follow up on this tip, Jo-Ann Fabric has a sale on tulle until Jan. 4. I bought a yard of that stuff for about 75 cents today.
