Hard Water Spots and Film
- BY
CHERYL H |
|
Hard water spots
and film on your glasses, dishes, silverware, dishwasher, can
be easily cleaned with a product called Lemi Shine. It is also
environmentally safe and works fantastic on lime, calcium and
iron buildup. |

Cleaning Plastic - BY

To get stains
and that greasy feel out of plastic, I use an inexpensive oven
cleaner. It works quickly and the stains are gone! Just spray
on, leave for a couple of minutes, then wash thoroughly in soap
and water. Amazing!! |

Spots On Carpet - BY

Use plain club soda! I learned
this from a co-worker years ago when she used it to remove "White
Out" (the original) from brown carpeting in our office.
I could hardly believe what I was seeing! I've kept club soda
around ever since that time and have found it to remove everything
my family has managed to spill and/or grind into our light beige
carpeting. |

Disinfectant - BY LAUREN |

I think that you will find that
vinegar alone or with some water is the best cleaner for most
things. It is also the best disinfectant according to tests done
by CBS for Erma Bombeck (I think but am not positive). |

Cleaning Tips - BY T & M |

Denture tablets: I use them to
get stains out of coffee thermoses, coffee/tea cups and pots;
the water/mineral lines from vases and spills from under plant
saucers. Put in water to cover the stain/line, let soak as long
as you want, then rinse. If the water/mineral line doesn't go
away with the tablets, then a short soak with vinegar will dissolve
the minerals. Rinse and they are as good as new, plus the minty
tablets make the drain smell good for a few minutes. |
