- If you have a stubborn stain on the
driveway or garage floor, try oven clean-

pets out) and then let it sit for several
hours. Give it a good scrub and rinse
with the hose. It might just do the trick!

- “Here’s a recipe tip from my broth-
er’s man cave: Take a can of beer and ,
mix it with a cup of barbecue sauce. Add
a couple drops of hot sauce if you’re
feeling spicy. Use the mix to marinate
chicken thighs for several hours before
slapping them on the grill. He says the
beer helps the chicken absorb the fla-
vor, and he must be right, because it’s so
yummy.”—E.D. in Arkansas
- Clean hairbrushes and combs by
soaking them in a baking soda/water
solution. Put them bristles down in a
large cup and add the solution. Don’t
do this to wood handle brushes.
