A few tips I found from multiple magazines, websites, books and everywhere in between that I wanted to share.
If you spill wine, juice, coffee, etc. on a carpet - pour regular table salt in a heap on top of the stain and it will absorb the liquid. You simply have to vacuum it up.
Wad up some newspaper, place it in the trash can, and sprinkle 1/2 cup baking soda on it. The baking soda and the newspaper will absorb odors and catch spills.
Get rid of pesky fruit flies - take a small glass fill it 1/2 way with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid and mix well. You will find those pesky fruit flies drawn to the cup and gone forever.
Christmas Ornaments - Use egg cartons for storing small, delicate pieces. Use tissue paper saved from gifts to cushion them.
Organize your tupperware with CD racks
Use a lint roller to clean up glitter and tiny pieces of construction paper after craft time.....whoever thought of this is a genius! ♥♥♥
Baby Oil as Paint Remover - Dab some baby oil on splatters to remove latex paint from skin
Olive Oil as Sap Remover - If dragging and decking out fresh spruce leaves you with sticky digits, pour a tablespoon of oil onto a cloth, then rub until clean. Bonus: The oil is a great moisturizer for dry winter skin.
Tape as Keyboard Cleaner - Remove dust and crumbs from a keyboard - slide a
short strip between the letters
Aluminum Foil as Glassware Scrubber - To get baked-on food off a glass pan or an oven rack, use dishwashing liquid and a ball of foil in place of a steel-wool soap pad, It's one way to recycle those used but perfectly good pieces of foil you hate to throw out.
I hope you found some useful tips!!!!
Happy Tuesday Lovelies!!!!!!
