      Hi Jessica! Vinegar saved my behind this week. I was using my goo remover for a transfer on a piece of furniture and sprayed the wall by mistake. It was an oily mess. I rubbed it with water and soap and next day I see the oil stain hasn't budged. Since my husband loves to say I told you so, I was determined to get rid of it before he noticed. I rubbed the wall with vinegar, then wiped it with a damp cloth and then a dry cloth. Stain is completely gone and nobody needs to know about my messy experience! Lol. Love this stuff. It actually cleaned that huge spot so well that now the rest of the wall looks dirty!!

      we keep vinegar in a spray bottle and use it full strength when one of the dogs pees on the carpet. Keeps it from staining and removes the odor too.

      I have only been using Pinterest for about two weeks, but I am addicted. I love all the ideas that pop up almost instantly when I type in a few words. So far my interest has been with healthy/healthier versions of food I like. Also, trying to find a solution to my yucky old light fixture in my dining room...I want to make one out of something unexpected. Some of my pins are related to one of my now adult children or my job at a school(with special needs students). Right now I am looking for cleaning products that I can make inexpensively that will not harm my family, pets, or environment. We have a septic tank as we live in the desert and must be careful what goes down the drain. Right now I mostly spray on white vinegar or use some baking soda.

        Hi, Rochelle! Mix 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide and 1/4 cup of dish liquid together. Pour it on your stain and give it a light scrub. It should wash right out and won't hurt colored material. Hope this helps! Jess

        I've found that as long as the fruit is fresh and hasn't been made into jam, jelly or baby food. The fruit doesn't stain and I don't have to do anything special. I toss it in the washer and it comes out clean.
