CHINA SAVERS. Instead of using those expensive and bulky separators when I stack my fine china, I use coffee filters. I put large ones between plates and small ones between smaller items like cups and saucers. They work well and are a lot cheaper, too. Anne, Tennessee

SAUCEPAN CLEANUP. Here’s what to do for heavily soiled saucepans: After cooking, allow the pan cool down. Then add water with a little baking soda, or more for a really tough job. Cover the pan and bring to a boil for a few minutes. Then let the pan cool down again, and clean with soap and water using a scouring pad. Rinse well. The baking soda will release all the cooked-on mess, making cleanup so much easier. Angelina A., email

CHIP STORAGE. I store all my open bags of potato chips and tortilla chips in the refrigerator. Simply fold the opened bag closed, secure with a clip and toss them in the ‘fridge. They stay fresh for weeks. Gina S., Wyoming

SAVE THE SHAMPOO. We had a problem with the kids using too much shampoo, which made it hard for them to easily rinse it all out. It also meant we were wasting a lot of shampoo. Solution: My husband bought a small, inexpensive plastic pump bottle (similar to a hand soap dispenser) and filled it with shampoo. The kids now know that three pumps will give them the perfect amount of shampoo. Kim G., email

NO MORE RUST. Cans with metal bottoms in the bathroom or kitchen have a nasty habit of leaving rust rings. To stop this from happening, use old fingernail polish to coat the edges of the can before placing on a counter. Stacy J., Missouri
