When your pet has an accident on the carpet (or your toddler), pour salt on it, let sit overnight and vacuum up. No smell, no stain! Preschools in California use this trick!

I cleaned my tub so much with tilex and anything else I can find. I cant get it white again. It needs to be refinished now. How can I get the brown spots off? This is an old house built in 1945.

If you’ve got water spots or rings on wood furniture from sweaty glasses, rub on either a little mayonnaise or toothpaste with a damp cloth. When the water rings are gone, polish the entire surface.

If you live in an older home or apartment and have a porcelain tub, you may have encountered rust stains. To get rid of them, just sprinkle some salt directly onto the rust and then squeeze a lime over the rust until it is good and soaked. Leave the mixture on for about three minutes and scrub off the residue with a piece of lime rind.

I found out the hard way that marble countertops stain easily, so wipe spills immediately and always dry them to prevent water spots. Also, don’t use vinegar or orange-based cleaners to clean them. The acid in them will damage the surface. But peroxide is safe for stain removal.
