Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) use rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
Whenever you purchase a box of S.OS Pads, immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. Now a box of S.O.S pads last twice as long. By cutting them in half it also can sharpen the scissors.
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time!
