Wonder how to keep your guest room bed smelling fresh? Before your guests arrive tuck several fabric softener sheets under the bottom sheet to keep it smelling nice. They are sure to ask what you use in the dryer!
Okay I have been tardy in blogging! Too much on my plate…however in the midest of moving Joseph in the house and moving lots of my stuff out…the issue of cleaning a house comes to mind.
How many times do you go to the bathroom and it looks like a tornado just hit? Towels on the floor, stuff scattered on the counter, clothes… well you get the drift.
Here are 3 Household rules that should keep the bathroom from being a disaster zone.
1. If you use it … clean it! Put caps back on products, wipe off the counter, if neccessary clean the toilet bowl! Keep the toilet brush handy.
2. Nothing is left on the floor. That means towels and clothes. Hang them up and pick them up when you leave.
3. Put everything back where it belongs. Right stuff in the right place!
It is easy to do if everyone does their part.
FYI… Well the house looks much better now that Maria came and cleaned the mess from top to bottom giving Joseph a clean slate to maintain. WooHoo!
Have you ever tried to get candle wax off of a table, carpet or fabric? Get an iron and some newspaper. Heat to a safe temperature for the type of item. Place the newspaper on top of the wax, then place the iron on top of the paper for 5 to 10 seconds. It wicks the wax right up into the paper. Replace the newspaper as needed. You might need to repeat a few times.
How about candle stuck in your votive holders? To remove it, place the votive holder into the freezer for several hours until it is really cold. Take it out, turn upside down and the candle should come out. You can use a plastic knife to coax it out.
Well here is a great tip to remove the body powder that gets on your knit top. You know what I am talking about… you remove your knit top and there it is .. those little white line … now what? It is not really dirty… it may have been a top you were trying on in the store and decided to buy.
Here is the tip.. You know the hangers that have the sponges on the shoulder so that tops or dresses don’t slip off? Take that little rectangle off the hanger and dab it gently on those little white lines … Presto! GONE! It lifts it right off the knit. No smudges. No smears!
