Keeping Towels Absorbent

Overusing fabric softener when you was towels can decrease the absorbency over time. Instead use just the recommended amount.

Heavy Duty Grease Cleaner

Mix this: 1/2 cup of sudsy ammonia with enough water to make 1 gallon. Clean soiled areas around the stove or oven and the floor. Ventilate well while using.

Loose Pet Hair

Before throwing away a pair of pantyhose, use it to help clean up your dog or cat. Put your hand inside and as you pet the animal, loose hair will stick to the nylon instead of floating through the air or landing on clothes, furniture, or the floor. Turn the nylon inside out to keep the hair inside, and toss it in the garbage when you’re finished.

Hairspray on Your Mirrors

“To remove hairspray from a mirrored surface, pour a bit of rubbing alcohol onto a microfiber cloth or terry towel and rub over the surface; the hairspray with lift off and the alcohol also will make the mirror shine.” – Heloise.com

How to Clean the Toilet

  1. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and put both lids up.
  2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
  3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. (You may need to stand on the lid.) The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. (Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.)
  4. Flush the toilet three or four times. (This provides a “power-wash” and “rinse”.)
  5. Have someone open the door to the outside (Be sure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.)
  6. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
  7. The now clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself off. The toilet will be sparkling clean!

Sincerely, The Dog
