I use the newspaper trick in tupperware too to get odors out-if you put something like fish, spaghetti, or garlic in a tupperware, and it smells after going through the dishwasher, just crumple up some newspaper, put it inside, and put the lid on the container overnight. The next morning, your tupperware will be odor free.
At the office:
-We keep a sharpie & a roll of masking tape in the silverware drawer. Everyone writes their intials & the date on their frozen meal packages or on a piece of tape and sticks it to their tupperware. No one ever forgets whose frozen meal is whose, and we can tell what has been in the fridge too long and needs to be tossed because of the dates.
-I work as an interior designer-I print off large and smaller drawings on a big plotter..the paper roll is 48" wide. Since many drawings are smaller, we use a straight edge to tear off the excess paper, and save in a pile for employees' children to use as drawing paper. Sometimes we bind it with staples for an instant coloring book. |
