Ten Quick Cleaning Tips

Cleaning Tip 1 - To remove candle wax from candle holders or tart burners (non-electric),   place the item in the freezer for an hour. The wax will slide right out.

Cleaning Tip 2 - Catsup can polish copper pots. Just rub a liberal amount of catsup on the copper and leave for five minutes. Rinse with hot water and dry.

Cleaning Tip 3 - For cloudy drinking glasses, soak them for an hour in somewhat warm white vinegar then scrub with a nylon sponge.

Cleaning Tip 4 - Remove nasty urine odors on mattresses with borax. Dampen the affected areas with cold water, and sprinkle borax over them; rub the borax vigorously over the affected areas and let dry, brushing off any remaining powder.

Cleaning Tip 5 - Remove wallpaper easily with the help of vinegar and warm water. Mix equal parts of vinegar and warm water and roll over the paper until thoroughly soaked. The paper peels off after two applications of the solution.

Cleaning Tip 6 - To keep your garbage bins smelling fresh, place a cut-up lemon in it. The lemon scent will keep your bins smelling fresh.

Cleaning Tip 7 - To prevent ruining delicate clothes when washing inside a washing machine, place garments inside a pillowcase and wash on a gentle cycle.

Cleaning Tip 8 - To remove crayon marks from walls, dab small amounts of toothpaste on the marks and then rubbing them off with a clean cloth.

Cleaning Tip 9 - Mirrors are best cleaned with newspaper. After wiping with a rag soaked in soapy water, rinse and wipe dry with crumpled newspaper. The mirror will be squeaky clean.
 
Cleaning Tip 10 -  For shiny wood floors, place a piece of wax paper under your regular dust mop. The dirt sticks to the mop and the wax paper shines the floors.
