Jessica: Have you tried some Dawn dish liquid? I find it removes most stickiness from just about anything. If they wood doesn't lose its stickiness after that, you may want to sand them lightly and add some mineral oil to season them. Hope this helps!Do you you have a DIY for Damp Rid?

Jessica: I like to wipe my cabinets down with a mixture of ½ water and ½ vinegar. I simply spray a damp cloth with the vinegar mixture and wipe down all of my cabinets. If your cabinets have a thicker coat of greasy buildup on them, you can use some Castile soap or Murphy's Oil soap and warm water to wipe them down!Are there any tips for cleaning brass?

There are darker areas on the places I use most, such as the drainage area around the sink and the work surface I use the most.
The places less used are the original colour.
How do I get the original colour back please.
I live in Spain so do not have access to the American products.
Thank youJessica: I'm sorry you are dealing with that! First, I have to say...make sure you never use vinegar on the marble...just in case. You can try to sprinkle some baking soda on the spots and rub them in with a soft cloth. Let the baking soda sit for a bit, then wipe away. It may absorb some of the discoloration. I'll be doing some research to see if I can find a better solution for you! I've heard Spain is beautiful!What is the best fly deterrent? I am overrun with these pests!
Jessica: I wish I had a really good answer for you, but flies seem to be something that I cannot battle...they are horrible here in the summer. You can try a lemongrass scented spray to keep them away, but I find that doesn't work well outside. Mix 10 drops of lemongrass essential oil with a cup of water and a couple of drops of dish liquid to make the spray. Good luck!Do you have tips for getting perfume smell out of a vinyl/fabric purse?

You may have to do this several times to completely remove the smell. Hope this helps!How to clean stainless steel fridge?
Jessica: Here ya go! How to Clean a Stainless Steel Refrigerator and Keep it Smudge and Fingerprint FreeI tripped the other day when walking in the kitchen to put a empty plastic soda bottle in the recycle bag. I think it was two liter size. I had just realized I turned the oven on to preheat to make banana bread. I changed my mind and turned oven off. I left the door open for some heat. So, I trip and I don’t know how the soda bottle ended up on the electric oven coils! I was or am horrified. I rent and the stove was new when I moved in last month. How do I clean the coils?
