Get Rid Of Stains With Toothpaste!

Did little Emmie Lou get into the permanent markers, again? Don't panic, Domestics! Toothpaste (not the gel stuff) is your answer! It works on painted walls, wood, even porcelain! Simply rub it into the stain and let it set for a few minutes. Then wipe it clean with a soapy damp cloth!

A Side Note: Be cautious of the abrasive types of toothpastes. The buffing could do damage to precious your pieces!

Thinking about refinishing your porcelain bathtub because of the stains? Well save your cash, people! We found a way to get those white tubs sparking white!

How to clean a stained bathtub:
Materials: Easy Off Oven Cleaner, yes! Easy Off!
Getting it Ready: Make sure you ventilate the bathroom by opening the windows! The strong smell of the cleaner can be a bit overwhelming!
Make sure you have at least 2 hours time to let the product sit on the bathtub.
The Process: Spray Easy Off generously on your bathtub and let it set a few hours before thoroughly rinsing it off. You will see the product working almost immediately.

Recommendations: We don't recommend this product for brass finishes. It will definitely discolor them! If you have an acrylic or plastic tub try soaking it in hot detergent water for a few hours-it works fabulous!
This product is should be tested on a small area of colored porcelain, you just want to be sure it doesn't effect that gorgeous color!

Make Your Own Homemade Baby Wipees

Okay, after years and years of cleaning the fastest most efficient way possible we have noticed busy moms, dads and happy pappy people on the go are using wipes more and more. These are not exactly a cloud on our wallets but since we love clean we make the financial sacrifice.
Well sacrifice no more! We found a way to make your own baby wipes or those unexpected sticky, messy situations!

How to make your own baby wipes:
Materials Needed: Paper towels (Viva works the best),  A round plastic container with a seal-able lid,  a sharp serrated knife,  cups of boiled water, 2TSPS of baby shampoo or baby wash (smells divine, doesn't it?), 1 TSP baby oil.
The Procedure: Cut paper towels in half with your knife and remove the cardboard tubing. After the boiled water is room temp. mix all your liquid ingredients and place in the plastic container. Now sit the paper towels in the solution and let is set for ten minutes....then place the lid on and flip it to set for another ten minutes. Hum-dee-dum-dee-dum....
Voila!: Sit it right side up and be sure to pull from the center of the roll to get your wipees. Always keep it sealed tightly to prevent dry out. Just save the next roll for next time you make a new batch!
