Home improvement tips are helpful if you have limited funds but are trying to smarten your house, or just need to speed up cleaning your home.

If you have ants in the house then mark out a line of chalk as ants don't like to cross it.

If you have a stain at the bottom of a glass and you can't get to it then put tow alka seltzers in a glass of water and leave in the bottom of the glass. This also works if you want jewellery to shine, just leave your necklaces and rings in the solution for twenty minutes. If you have a thermos flask that has had tea or coffee in, use the same principle but leave to soak for an hour to remove any stubborn stains. Alka seltzers also work if you have a blocked drain; drop three down it and follow with a glass of white vinegar. Wait for a few minutes for it to dissolve the build up and then run the hot tap.

If you don't want your dishes to get yellowed by tomato based sauces then make sure you spray it with oil spray before cooking it. The spray will stop the sauce soaking into the cookware.

If you have leftover wine, don't throw it away, make it into ice cubes. Freeze as you normally would water and then use them for casseroles and sauces in the future. If you are the sort of person to have leftover wine!

If you own a home then buy Home Contents Insurance online.
