A continuing compendium of tips and tricks from Home & Garden Television:
_ To keep cut flowers fresh, change the water often and add about half of a bottle cap of hydrogen peroxide to prevent bacteria.
_ Once or twice a year, apply a little lemon oil or tung oil to the wood handles of tools to keep them in perfect condition.
_ Make a rich holiday treat by substituting eggnog for the milk in hot cocoa/
_ Furnace filters must be changed regularly to maintain the efficiency of your furnace and to prevent dust from spreading through your house. Standard furnace filters should be changed at least once per month. Electrostatic disposable filters, which use static electricity to attract dust, may be used for as long as three months.
