How To Do Wednesday: Cleaning Tips

-

Well, it has been one week since I posted on my plans of starting to clean my attic and I have not done that yet. I did put away my Christmas decor and cleaned the house, which reminded me even more how much I need to get organizing in this house!

While I have featured a link to my Cleaning board on Pinterest in other posts, I have never made it a feature post. In hopes to motivate you all and myself, I have been updating that board recently and I wanted to share some great finds with you. I am thinking that you will get an update on some of this tricks for Trial Tuesday! The pictures below are not links but the link for my board with all of the original links is below.

    Congrats on your 100th post! I have loved your blog and read it all the time. I am amazed about the dove soap to fill nail holes! BUT the best are the orphan socks over the Swiffer mop!!! I still have a few pads for mine but I have since stopped buying the Swiffer liquid. I use lavender scented Pinesol now but didn't want to go online and buy the handmade swiffer pads that can be machine washed. NOW I know what to do with the mop and NOT have to buy anything more than the Pinesol!! Thank you so much!!!

    Thank you, Patty! And thank you for reading (probably) all of them.. I am judging this by your comments. The sock thing was a GENIUS Pinterest find!! I love the idea too, although I cannot take the credit as an original idea. I am glad that this post helped save you some money! :)

They are regularly found items so this project can easily be duplicated. Directions: 1. Remove all price stickers. These are glass and we are gluing them so you are going to want a clean surface.  2. Put hot glue around the rim of the candlestick holder.It will begin to dry pretty quickly so work fast, don't worry if the glue starts to drip. 3. Place square jar on the top of the candlestick holder while the glue is still hot. It will bond pretty quickly so make sure its straight! You also don't want it to look messy.

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.
