So today I am going to give you a great tip... when you need to clean the sparkle up, grab this!!!

yep.. a lint roller!!!  It works like magic!

Washing outside windows

Oh what a day!!! My windows were looking horrible- and have needed to be washed for a while now.  So I had seen this way of washing them here & I decided to try it.  It worked!!  First I took out all my screens, rinsed them off with the hose- sprayed the all purpose cleaner (you can get the recipe for it on the blog under cleaners) on and scrubbed them- then rinsed all of them and let them set to dry.... 

This was really pretty easy to do- first use a high powered nozzle on your hose & spray the window down

then dip whatever you are going to use to scrubb the windows into the soulition-  (the recipe for it is at the end of this post)  and scrubb each window.

then.... take the nozzle again & squirt it down really good to rinse them off.  You don't need to dry them with anything, just watch as the water ripples down the window & sheets off into a shine.

I don't know if you can really see how clean they look from this picture, but trust me... it's amazing!!   So if you want to try it yourself, here's what you'll need!!

Oh ..... it feels so good to have nice clean windows!!!  Now I'll enjoy it while I can, until the next rain/wind storm!!  :(

Life looks much better through a bright clean window!! Have a good week-end!

Keep Oders out of your fridge!!

Here's a tip I learned a few years ago... If you put a piece of newspaper in the bottom of your crisper drawer in your refridgerator, it will help absorbe the oders you can get from your fruits & vegetables.  

and it also makes cleaning easier too.  So there ya go, try it and let me know what you think!!  What are some of your best tips?

Pefect Carpet Cleaner

I have been looking for the perfect carpet cleaner for my car. I have tried a bunch of different things and finally came up with something that works PERFECTLY!!!

Things you will need
Ammonia
Hot Water
Spray Bottle
Hydrogen Peroxide
Cleaning Rag

-First, vacuum your car.
-Mix 1/4 cup ammonia and 1/4 cup hot water in your spray bottle. Mix together slightly.
-Spray the mixture on your stain. Then put a small amount of hydrogen peroxide on the stain.
-Let it sit for a few minutes and scrub with your cleaning rag.
-If your stain is deep in the carpet, you might have to repeat the process.
-Just vacuum one more time and VIOLA! The stain is gone.

This is a picture of a stain that someone didn't tell me about. This stain is between the drivers seat and the buckle of the seat. This is the before picture
