In the farm kitchen, cast-iron cookware is treasured by many. Cast iron pots and pans have been used for hundreds of years; many have been passed down through generations. Clean & Season Cast Iron. My dad has used the same cast iron skillet for as long as I can remember.
Once, he forgot and left it heating on the stove. It turned orange (yes, THAT'S hot!) And cracked in half. My dad's devotion was such that he took the two halves out to the garage and welded it back together. That was at least 15 years ago and the skillet is as good as ever. There are a lot of tutorials out there for seasoning your cast iron, but not a lot about getting rust off. What You Need. Clean Baked On. Okay, I'll be honest...I haven't bought dryer sheets in years.

Fabric Softener. Frugal Home Series Part 2: Homemade Fabric Softener I'm definitely a liquid fabric softener kind of gal.
In college I took the best textiles class ever- we learned how fabric was made and how to care for it. Once a week (maybe twice? I can't remember!)

Our professor did/does research for some big-name brand like Lands End or Northface and preached about fabric softeners. Solution- Make your own. I found this recipe and was skeptical. Nope.
