Sluggish Drains?

Posted under Bathroom, Cleaning Tips, Kitchen, Laundry Room by admin on September 30th, 2008 11:11 pm

I do this all the time, even when the drains aren’t sluggish.. I just love to do it. lol If you take a 1/2 cup of baking soda and sprinkle it down the drain.. then take a 1/2 cup of vinegar and throw that down the drain. You’ll see it bubble and all that. I love to watch and listen to it. Then after about 10 minutes, you take a kettle of 6 cups of hot water and dump it down the drain. This will get rid of any buildup or residue that will cause your drain to drain sluggishly.

I’m telling you, I do this ALL the time. I love the chemical reaction that baking soda and white vinegar make together. It’s like I have to do it whenever given the opportunity. lol

Smelly Carpets?

Posted under Uncategorized by admin on September 30th, 2008 12:25 am

Do your carpets smell musty or have dog odor? How about urine smell? If you have pet urine somewhere first you will need to find it. A black light will show you where the urine is. Once you locate the urine, put some vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it. Soak it with vinegar. It will take away the urine smell, but then you have a vinegar smell.

Wait till the vinegar is dry and put baking soda on your carpets overnight.. sprinkle it everywhere. Then the next day go ahead and vacuum it up, this will remove doggy odors and the vinegar smell. It will also remove smoke, and musty smells. It’s a GREAT trick!

This got me scared thinking about all the child molesters that can be be ANYWHERE.  This guy was a convicted sex offender!!!  I have 4 kids, and that just plain scares the heck outta me.

There is a great List Of Child Molesters on the web where you can find out if there are any child molesters in your area. Just enter in your zip and it will tell you. It’s definitely something you want to check out.

Venetian Blinds

Take a dirty sock and get it damp.  Then put it over your han and wipe down the venetian blinds.  Its the best thing to get inbetween the sltats.

Covered in Pethair?

Posted under Bedrooms, Living Rooms by admin on September 26th, 2008 10:30 am

Every few days take a lint brush and quickly run it over the couches, curtins, bedspreads, and lampshades.  It will make it immediately feel cleaner to you.  It’s also really a great habit to get into!

Pet smells? Kitty Urine, use vinegar to neutralize it!  It will stink for a bit, but it will smell much better soon!

Microfiber to the rescue!

Posted under Uncategorized by admin on September 25th, 2008 11:27 pm

Did you know that microfiber cloths clean and remove germs and bacteria?! Grab those microfiber cloths and wipe everything! Put away those cleaners!  Water and microfibers are sufficient to pick up the germs, bacteria, and dirt.. So just toss them in the wash when your done, and do it again the next day ;)

Don’t do the work for them!

Cleaners sometimes need time to do their work.  Spray them on, and let them sit.  Fill your dishwasher, or do something else while the spray cleaner has time to soak in.  After a few minutes, then you can wipe it clean.   You really don’t want to just spray and wipe unless your low on time.

Kitchen Tips 2

Posted under Kitchen by admin on September 24th, 2008 10:20 am

Once you’ve gotten the clutter off your counters keep disinfectant wipes everywhere.  Grab them and wipe everywhere.  Wipe counters all the time, and before you toss that wipe, wipe somewhere you wouldn’t normally.  You can open a few cabinets and wipe them down from top to bottom.

Kitchen Tips

Posted under Decluttering, Kitchen by admin on September 23rd, 2008 11:18 pm

Get rid of the clutter in your kitchen.  If you don’t use it each day, get it off the counter! I don’t even suggest putting it “away”.  I suggest tossing it into the garbage.  You don’t need it.  You definitely don’t need it up on your counters.  If it is up there, it makes it tougher to clean your kitchen.  Toss it!
