Ohhhh, these are some great tips!!! I can't wait to try them. It's funny how I hate cleaning, but I get all excited about cleaning tips /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Ok, here's mine:
~ I use the Magic Eraser to clean my leather couch and gym shoes. It makes them look like new and it even got some (not all) of the ink and marker stains out (courtesy of my toddler /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)
~ I use baking soda to clean the top of my stove. It removes stains and spills effortlessly. I also use it to clean my dishes. It makes glasses sparkle, and gets easily removes stuck on foods.
~ Add a cup of baking soda to the wash cycle, it makes the clothes even fresher.
~ My favorite tip---ammonia!!! My pots and pans looked horrible from all the black stuff that got on them from cooking. So i put the pots in a garbage bag, add some ammonia (maybe a 1/2 cup?) tie the bag very tight and let sit overnight. The next day, wash as usual and voila, the pots look like new!! Whatever that black stuff is comes right off. If the stains are really stubborn, you might need to use a brillo pad or something more abbrasive to remove all the stains. This tip also works for cleaning the bar-b-que grill, baking pans, and the grills on top of the stove. By the way, I got this tip from the tv show How Clean is Your House /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
~ Remove the build up from your bottles of fingernail poilsh with polish remover. Then apply a thin coat of vaseline around the top to prevent it from sticking.
~ I use regular dishwashing detergent to clean my glass tables. It leaves them sqeaky clean and streak free...although making sure I got all of the detergent off is a pain.
