These are some of the "all-time favorite" tips of the folks at Woman's Day magazine.

• Wet your fingertip and press it on the wall to mark where you want to hang a picture. It'll dry without leaving a trace.
• To move furniture without scratching the floor, slip a towel under each leg.
• You can get rid of white rings on wood furniture by gently rubbing the spot with a dab of mayonnaise and wiping it off.
• Another helpful tip: To prevent cake from sticking to the pan, put the pan on a damp cloth for a few minutes after removing it from the oven.
• If you're hanging a shelf or a picture and you want to see if it's level, lay a small, flat-sided bottle of olive oil horizontally on the top and adjust until the liquid in the bottle is level.

Finally, you can clean black heel smudges from a vinyl floor by rubbing them with a paste of baking soda and water, and wiping with a damp sponge.
