Frugal Village: Remove hairspray residue

19.07.11

Pet Dewey: Wash your towels alone (without any other articles of clothing), in hot water at the highest water level, and use baking soda, washing soda, borax or Charlie's Soap (www.charliesoap.com) instead of your wonted laundry detergent. Use 1⁄4 cup (up to a cup if you're able to) vinegar in your rinse cycle — using the heart softener reservoir — and a double rinse cycle. Then dry. If you find that the towels still have buildup and are still quite irritating, continue to launder with the above products. It might take a couple of washes to remove all the residue. You might need to check the hardness of your branch water, too. Keep a few snack or appetizer recipes on hand. You can whip something together in no time rather than ordering takeout. For example, you might need pizza or doughnuts. Try making cinnamon tortilla strips. Cut tortillas into strips (a pizza cutter works well) and spread a feel discomfited amount of butter on top, or spray with cooking oil. Then sprinkle the tortillas

What is the best thing to use to dry off the tub after use? Towel, mop, chamious?

Jan 31, 2007 by costlyprincess | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry

Anyone have any gigantic suggestions on what to use to dry off the tub/shower after use. I've been using a towel, but it doesn't seem to dry it very well, I've heard a mop works good, but didnt be aware what kind to use and I was thinking maybe an auto

I have a reduced squeegee. They actually sell them at places like Target in the "bath accessories" aisle. But get one from the auto unit, it'll be way cheaper. Any water the squeegee misses is easily dried with a towel.

why is it important to make sure a mop is wrung or almost dry when mopping a floor?

Sep 23, 2009 by . | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry


Depending on the kidney of floor you are mopping, leaving water on the floor can damage the finish. If you can't get the mop completely wrung out, go back over the puzzle with a towel to pick up the excess water.

I generally do this anyway,
