Freeze! Did You Know About These Ways to Use Your Freezer?

Open your freezer door, what do you see? Chances are your freezer is filled with a little bit of ice and a whole lot of food, but did you know there are other things you can use it for? Check out some of these nifty ways to use your freezer for things other than food!

• Open a sealed envelope. Have you ever prematurely sealed an envelope and realized that you forgot to include something? Stick the closed envelope in the freezer until the glue freezes, you should be able to open it and reseal it without causing any damage.
• “Wash” your jeans. Looking to clean your jeans without fading the color or shrinking the fabric? Put them in a Ziploc bag and throw them in the freezer for about a week; this should kill all of the bacteria as well as eliminate any odors.
• Make your candles last longer. Premium candles come at a premium price, and no one wants to spend that money on something that burns out quickly. Extend the life of your candles by freezing them before burning; this works especially well on long, skinny types.
• Kill dust mites. Get rid of dust mites by putting your stuffed animals, pillows, bed sheets, and blankets in a plastic bag and freezing them overnight. Then, wash them with extra hot water for a thorough clean.
