help.... question not a tip... how do you get water stains out of dark wood furniture...

use cream of tarter in a sink of hot water and vinegar let set over night then clean the electric stove pans,salt and lemon juice work well too

put water in a ziplock freezer bag,tie a string to it and hang it up at the door or where ever the flies are this keeps them away

To easily remove burned on grease, pan drippings etc. from stove burner grids, soak them in a strong solution of hot water and laundry ammonia. I use a Dutch oven covered with a lid to protect against the fumes. You can leave it outside if you want. Soak them until the spills just wipe off. If your grids are very bad, you can soak them overnight. It doesn't hurt them.

I have seen a few microwave solutions that include a bowl of water ad a slice of lemon and I agree but would like to add that if you alow the bowl to sit for five to ten minutes and then come into the microwave with a clean dry cloth starting from the top nearly every bit will just wipe away from the soaking in the steam.

To remove deodorant stains from shirts etc., soak in white vinegar and warm water for 30 minutes before putting into the washing machine, the vinegar softens the deodorant and the detergent does the rest.

I have window air conditioners. In humid weather I collect the water which discharges from the air conditioners by placing a bucket on the ground under the drip hole. I use this water to water my garden and potted outdoor plants. By washing my garden spade in the bucket after turning my compost, I also add fertilizer to the water.

This one is simple and effective. I clean my bathroom by adding a small amount of bleach and dish detergent to a bucket of warm water. I sprinkle baking soda on surfaces and wipe them down with the solution in the bucket. My tip is this: I dunk the hem of the plastic shower curtain liner into the bucket before starting. The solution settles into the heam and prevents mildew. I also do the same with the plastic window curtain which is inside the tub enclosure.

Thanks Kryslyn, is there something to click on to get the recipe for these tips that Kim and Angie talk about from the show? I have an easy tip for Hairspray that gets on the bathroom walls and door and mirrors. Use Clarifying Shampoo . I mix up about two dime size dollups into a small spray bottle add a small amount of water and spray the area and let sit for a few seconds. Wipe it off with clear water. Use more shampoo if needed . I have this way of getting hairspray all over my bathroom door and my mirrors and this really works for me.

we have a white cast iron sink in the kitchen. it gets pretty stained over the course of a week. i use an electrosol tablet and fill the sink with hot water and let it sit till the water is cool. drain, and just wipe out.

I've heard of using rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, I think mixed 50/50 with water, instead of shower fresh.

Mold! This is in response to the question regarding "All you need to clean mold" Bleach. I think it was a 50/50 or less with water. I used it on an old mold spot that I thought I owuld NEVER get out and it was gone almost instantly! Thank you Kim and Aggie!

Children's toys, get you kids to clean them. Bring them in the tub with bubble bath and scrubber, or outside play in the baby pool with warm water and bubbles.

Water drips up your arms when scrubbing up high? Fold your gloves once around your wrists. The water is trapped in the fold, then falls towards your fingers when you lower your arms

Kim & Aggie used several drops of citronella essential oil with water, to wipe down surfaces and discourage spiders.

Heavily Iced Freezer: Empty & Unplug Freezer. Sit a pan of HOT water inside the freezer. Before you begin scrubbing, Throw a hand towel in the pan. Wring out the thoroughly wet hand towel around the perimeter top edge of the freezer. Use a PLASTIC putty knife to separate the ice from the wall of the freezer. Ice sheets pop off the wall. Proceed to clean with baking soda & dish soap. Freezer cleaned in under 5 minutes! Now... to get the foods organized... hummmm.

To clean burnt food from under the stove, try a mixture of baking soda, salt, and water. It works wonders as a cleaner, and if you make a separate batch, it can be used as toothpaste, as well!

I add a cap full of bleach, and a drop of dish washing liquid to hot water in my sink and soak my dishcloths over night. In the morning the cloths are clean and sanitized and the sink is sparkling and disinfected.

as 4 getting rid of ants in the kitchen, make sure counter and sink are clean and dry! also no leaks in the faucet or under sink. ants love water and crumbs. try leaving a cup of bleach around sink area or were you see them coming from. or use granule insect bait in cracks and around outside of windows
