Thought for Wednesday ~ Quick Cleaning Tips
With the high traffic through many households this weekend, I thought I'd share a few fun interesting, but true cleaning solutions using common objects around the house to help.
To remove BLACK SHOE MARKS on vinyl or wood floors, rub them with a clean tennis ball.
To remove CHEWING GUM from hard floors, use a plastic bag filled with ice to cover the spot and freeze the gum. Then use the edge of a credit card to pop it off the surface.
To remove CANDY from carpet, first remove any excess liquid with a towel or vacuum up small pieces, then use a small amount of dish washing soap and a wet rag to rub out the rest. Follow with a wet rag (minus the soap) and then blot excess moisture from the carpet.
