Dual-Action Household Cleaners
Here are a few great tips for how to squeeze some extra juice and extra use out of your everyday household cleaning products:
Crayon / WD-40 – Got kids? If so, you might be noticing some stray doodles on those freshly painted walls and surfaces. Luckily, this problem is easily erased with a household product you probably have stowed away in your pantry. WD-40, typically used for squeaky hinges, can be sprayed on almost any surface to wipe away your little artist’s creation.
Candle Votives / Cooking Spray – No need to messy your manicure scraping dry wax from the bottom of your votives and candle sticks. If you spray a touch of cooking oil prior to lighting the handle, wax will peel effortlessly away, making clean-up super simple.
Glass Home Ware / Home Made Glass Cleaner – This basic concoction eliminates any excuse not to keep your glass coffee table gleaming! One cup of water and a single tablespoon of vinegar combine to create an amazing all-purpose glass-cleaner that will keep your surfaces smudge-free.
Lamp Shade / Lint Roller – Need to de-fuzz on the fly? If you don’t have a lint-roller handy, a lamp shade actually makes a successful substitute. Typically made of materials like silk, linen, and paper, lampshades are naturally clingy and act like a magnet for those pesky dustballs.
Price Tags / Cooking Oil – A shining new set of pristine glassware can be easily ruined by the remnants of sticky pricetags. Fortunately, with just a quick dip of a paper towel into a bit of cooking oil, stickers rub off with ease, and no one will know those beauties were a bargain!
