So you decided to rearrange the furniture and you see that little spot of carpet thats matted down. Well give your carpet a lift from a fork. Yes, forks! Forks have another use besides chowing down food. Use the prongs to gently fluff the carpet back up to its original position.
As much as I love my dog, our carpet can sometimes smell like a wet dog. Does anyone else have that problem? Dog smell or not, carpet can get smelly and no one wants to pay to have they're carpets washed. What's a quick fix? Baking Soda. Sprinkle some on your carpet, let it sit for an hour, then vacuum up the powder and no more stinky carpet!
Uh Oh! Who made the party fowl and spilled red wine on your pearly white carpet? It is possible to get out red wine, but you have to act fast, before the stain dries. My secret weapon, vinegar and laundry soap. First, gently blot away any wine. Then apply the vinegar over the stain and top with the soap. Let it soak in for a few minutes then rinse and wash away.
Planning ahead that there may be a few stains after your next big bash? Oxy Carpet Cleaner does a great job at getting out red wine stains. It's available at target for $5.99.
Are you like me and can't balance on a stool and clean the ceiling corners without falling off and creating an embarrassing bruise on your face? Well problem solved. Fasten a micro-fiver cloth to the bristles of a broom with a rubber band, then use the long handle to reach up into the corners.
Anyone else have any tips for keeping the house clean? I know it's hard to keep your house clean all the time, but I hoped these few tips will help you out so you can spend less time cleaning and more time living.
Stay tuned tomorrow when I talk about "How to choose the right lamp for every room".
