What are your cleaning tips?

Ok, I'll start this with a couple of things I've learned over the years but I would love to hear what everyone else does.

1. WD40 is excellent for getting paint, grease stains and other stains out of clothes. I sat in some wet paint that is used for sealing the top of a trailer roof in a brand new

ing suit one day. It not only got it all out of my

ing suit it also got it off my skin. It's good for lots of things!!!

2. Wrinkle release from the dollar store (alot cheaper) works great!! And since I'm sooo unorganized, it

s me alot!!!

3. Good ol ammonia water is great for cleaning windows!! Better than any other product I've tried and faster. Also you can wipe your trim with it as you go.

4. Polident, yup the teeth cleaner is great for cleaning out thermoses, vases,

pots and alot other things that are stained and hard to get into.

Ok, thats just a few off the top of my head. What are your tips??

ok.. I use just plan on vinegar and water to clean window.
Goo gone will remove just about anything off of anything.

Pine sol to remove cooking/car oil or greese off of clothes.
Spot cleaning carpet I use baby whipes ..

.. I don't have babies but I still but baby whipes.. You can use them for cleaning dirty hands and feet if they have been running around outside bare foot. (Cheaper then replacing nasty washcloths) I something use them on counters etc...

That's all I can with of!

I love

ful hints.

Here are two of mine - When I run out of cleanser for the kitchen sink, I put some dishwasher detergent on it and spread it around for a while. (Use gloves if you have sensitive skin or cuts). Rinse out and your sink will sparkle like new. I have also used this method in the

tub. It's nonabrasive and takes out all the stains.

I also use dryer sheets to dust with. It's a shame to throw them out after using in the dryer, they still have a fresh scent and hold the dust nicely. I haven't used them with polish only dry dusting.

Looking forward to seeing all the other new tips we can share.

Have a great day.

Polident tablets are also great for cleaning the toilet bowl. Drop 2 in & let the tablets fizz all the way out , scrub with toilet brush.
Murphys wood oil soap is great for treating

stains.
Save old

hbrushes and use them for cleaning tile grout up or cleaning in small hard to reach places.
