IT COULD BE ARTISTICAL, BUT NOT ON THE WALLS.
MySpace Graphics & Myspace Layouts
I know we love our kids and when they start expressing themselves, it's an unforgettable moment, but when they do it on the walls????
To remove crayons marks from walls sprinkle baking soda on a damp cloth then rub gently. The baking soda should be gentle enough for most wall coverages, including paint and wallpaper.
OH; THE GARAGE CLEANING
GARAGE CLEANING AND ORGANIZING:
*STORE TOOLS IN LABELED BOXES: the garage is one of the hardest areas in the home to organize because of the large numbers of items confined to a small space. the culprits are usually tools. there are different tasks, so often times, they can add up and cause big clutter in your garage area.
One solution to this is tool storage, Organize the tools in your garage into different categories using different size brightly colored plastic tool boxes, each choosen with specific tool categories in mind.
LABEL them clarly, so that the next time you go to reach for a specific tool, you know exactly ehere to find it. Storing them in tool boxes also protects them from be stepped on or dropped frequently as well as from water or heat damage.
*FLAG and Organization: A way to combat this is to install shelving throughout areas in your garage. Allow each family member to have portions of the shelving for their individual items. This will allow everyone to have storage options without unorganized clutter. Be sure to group items together, such as gardening items, home repair items, car accesories, etc. Label each shelf so that you know where each item is located. Use the higher shelving for toxic cleaning supplies and other items that should be kept out of the reach of children and the lower shelves or the ground, for heavier items.
SMOKE ODOR ELIMINATION:

EXTINGUISHING A CIGAR properly helps remove smoke odor. Or at least prevent an unpleasant smell. Allow your cigar to naturally go out. It is poor etiquette to smash out a cigar. this will also create an foul order to those around
SMOKE ELIMINATION SPRAYS: there also sprays that help remove smoke odor. this odor eleminator type of product will do away with the small spray. As everyone knows there are a variety of products on the market to remove this uncomfortable odor. Much of its are enviromentally friendly, not to mention friendly to the human senses.
DO YOU HAVE ONE OF THIS?


TO REMOVE Pet urine stains and odors from wood floors you can use a product such as PAWS (pet accident washup solution). spray paws on the stain and let the paws sit for few minutes. Blot the area with a clean absorbent cloth to remove as much moisture as possible. Cover the area with baking soda and let the baking soda sit overnight to absorb any remain moisture, in the morning weep away the remaining of baking soda. However if the urine has deeply penetrated the wood, there will be no choice but to sand it down and refinish it.
A MUST HAVE: a clean kitchen
Add Glitter to your Photos
GETTING grease build-up off a kitchen surface (any one) is a heavy task sometimes, but as everyone knows there's a whole varierity of them in the market (green ones and the traditional ones).
I am a cleaning person that had always start my cleaning jobs from kitchen first, unless you ask me to start from other areas of the house. The job should be easy enough with just hard work, heavy duty nylon pad and the degreaser.
A WARNING HOWEVER: depending on how heav the build is and of course the finish in your kitchen, it usually requires bit of elbow grease to get rid of it. The problem is that we have to be careful as I mention before not to ruin the finish of it. Whatever that build-up has latched itself onto. If you are not concerned about the surface, scrub away with a heavy duty nylon pad and a degreaser. If the surface is a concern, forgo the scrubbing pad. Spray the area with a degreaser (testing a small patch for colorfastness first) and clean with a rag dipped in the hottest water a rag dipped in the hottest water possible. wiring out your rag in fresh hot water often and change rags when necessary. If build up is really, really heavy, soak the area on degreaser and scrape off the build up with a putty knife. Then use the heavy duty scrubbing pad and/or the hot rag method.
LEATHER FURNITURE:

LEATHER FURNITURE: adds a rich, luxurios feel to any room. Many people are choose to have their couches and chairs in different fabrics because they don't know how to go about cleaning leather furniture.
It's actually quite simple. In fact, most leather furniture can first be wiped clean with a damp sponge. Every now and then common household cleaner can be sprayed on giving an extra shine. When you consider what you have to go through when removing spots and stains from upholstered couch, leather furniture cleaning is clearly a more convenient option.

TO REMOVE WHITE SPOTS FROM WOODEN FURNITURE: you should work hard to remove white cloudy film on your wood can be permanently damaged.
*Rub the surface of the wood with a soft cloth that has been dipped in one half cup of ammonia and water.
*wipe furniture dry inmediately and polish.
*If the white spots are still visible, use 3/0 steel wool and olive oil and rub lightly with the grain of the wood, then wax.
*For very deep spots, rub cigarrette ashes in the wood.
*And in the last case and the worst one in terms of money, you will have to strip off the old finish.
LINT-FREE MIRRORS:

CLEANING mirrors to a lint free shine can present a challenge. Paper towels and dust cloth leave little bits behind. don't use the wrong window cleaning supplies!, you'll have everything you need right at home (if you haven't go green yet), try newspaper, coffee filters or a cloth diaper.
YOU'll never go back to paper towels again--nothing against any brands. is just my vaste experience.
TELL CANDLE SOOT STAINS: goodbye, au revoir, adios, sayonara, ciao
if YOU HAVE CANDLE SOOT ON YOUR WALLS, you many want to think of moving your candles. They may be to close to your walls. "EUREKA": joke.

RUST REMOVAL FROM SINKS, TUBS, TOILETS AND TILES:
CLEANING a bathroom shouldn't be a daunting task. The appearance of rust on sinks, tubs and bathroom tiles can be enough to put off even the more creative Hosecleaner "not me". cleaning a bathroom rust isn't difficult however. It can be accomplished with several items found in the kitchen. Lemon Juice left to sit on the offending spot for at least 30 minutes should be enough to remove the rust. white vinegar works much in the same manner. It may take a couple of applications, but either of these household staples should be enough. If they're not, you may want to try something a little stronger such as ordinary household bleach or a product containing OXALIC ACID.
