Squeeze Bottle Vacuum Attachment

Having trouble getting all that dirt and dust out of hard to reach places in your house? Well, if you have an extra squirt bottle laying around, you're in luck. Take the squeeze bottle top and tape it to the suction nozzle of your vacuum, then suck up dust to your heart's content. 

Onion Deodorizer

Onions may smell aggressive in the kitchen, but they have some odor busting characteristics that work just as well as the chemical competitors.

The allicin in the onion will suck the bad smells out of the air almost immediately.
