Great for an assemblage artist reference library. With his trademark folksy wisdom, Earl Proulx tells you how to recycle those things we all have lying around the house into ingenious household solutions without spending money on fancy cleaning products or pricey gadgets. Some of Earl's particular favorites are cat litter (as a cleaner for oil spills and as a base for a soothing facial mask) and, of course, vinegar (to clean just about anything, unclog showerheads, as well as trap fruit pests), duct tape (as both tick remover and a protection against blisters), and milk jugs (bird feeders and clothespin holders). His fun and inventive ideas also include: lAnt-proof your home with lemon juice lCover up furniture scratches with a dab of iodine lUse powdered milk to soothe sunburn and remove makeup l Make an earring holder out of window screen l Recycle bubble wrap for a toilet tank insulator Organized by location inside and outside of the house, this essential compendium will make you pause each time you start to throw something (old blue jeans, ice cube trays, coat hangers, egg cartons) out in the trash.
