Need your carpets cleaned?

 Do your own..........

We own our own carpet cleaner

or you can rent one.  We never

use soap only hot water and it

cleans very well and you don't

need to worry about soapy

residue that makes you have 

clean your carpets every time

you turn around.  If there is a

spot that doesn't come out just

employ some carpet cleaner,

to that area only, and then go

over it until you don't see any

more soapy water being sucked

up.We have found "Resolve" 

to be the best carpet cleaner

ourselves.

A dear friend of ours was in the

carpeting business,  he told us

to only spot clean our carpets

for as long as we could.  and

to vacuum them regularly of

course.  That was the best 

advice I have say.

Also, if you happen to have a

shop vac, they are invaluable

for spot cleaning.

Once someone spilled red punch

on our rug,  so we just dumped a
 glass of water on it and sucked it 

right up,  with no stain left behind, 

and You know how red dye stains!

You might have to do it a few

times, but it works like a charm.

Oh.....Have any pet stains???

Shop vac to the rescue once again.

Pour a lil water on it, then suck 

it up,  then put "Nature's Miracle"

stain and odor remover on it, and

let it set about 3 mins. or so and 

suck it up.  Again you might have

to do it more than once,  but it

really is like a miracle,  no stains,

no odors. A great discovery!

(You can get it at your local Pet

Store, we got ours a Pet Smart

I think it was)

Also I get no compensation in

any way for saying this,  it is

just a great product and think

everyone should know about it.

 Tired of trying to find scissors
or Scotch tape when you need it?

Keep Scissors and Scotch tape
in a number of places within
your home. I keep several prs.
in my kitchen crock, with my
other utensils, a pair in our work/
computer room, and in the bath-
room and with my gift wrap, and 
also keep tape in the kitchen, 
work room, and  where I store
office and gift wrap supplies
This is a real step saver and

you can buy great scissors
at Dollar Tree for just a $1.

#28
Have to look everywhere when
it is time to wrap a gift? 

Find a place to keep all the things 
you need for gift wrapping so it is 
one place.  I use a huge shopping
bag with handles doubled to keep
all my gift bags in and I have a 
basket to put all the tissue paper,
 Scotch tape and scissors in, then 
another box with bows and ribbon,
 and keep a few empty shirt boxes on
hand as well.  My hall closet works
well for this.

#29
Need to polish some silver, be
it a necklace or some tableware?

Keep those polishing clothes that 
they sell in the jewelry section at
 Walmart or Target handy. It is quick,
 easy and no mess or fuss........

#30
Hate those splatters when you
are pouring a liquid into another
container?

Whether you are pouring soup/sauce
or some other liquid or maybe
 making punch in the punch bowl.

Use the back of a ladle or a large
 spoon, and pour the liquid slowly
 over the spoon, and it will keep
 it from splattering.  Learned this
great tip from some of the older
ladies in my church while working
in the church kitchen.  This tip
has served me well............

Well, hope you read a tip that
sounds like something you
would like to try..........if you
aren't already employing them.


Have a great Day today and
Every Day.

Thanks for coming by...............

Hugs and Blessings,
Nellie
