Don't like the smell when the AC kicks on? Tape a dryer sheet over the vent for a fresh aroma. This works for window units and in-ceiling or in-floor registers. You don't need to block the vent entirely or your dryer sheet may end up across the room!

You can freshen your garbage disposal with lemon or baking soda. Coffee grounds work well to abrade food residue from the blades. Just run it long enough to ensure what you've put inside goes all the way through. Fresher kitchen by the minute!
