Do you have a recipe for DIY foaming hand soap tablets?
Thanks.

Jessica: I don't yet, but I've been thinking about working on one! I'll give them a shot and get back to you!

Hi. I have recently came across your website. I love it. I have just made your toilet cleaner tablets. Mine did not fiz so much though and I had to leave it for quite a while to dissolve.. Did I do something wrong?

Jessica: You may need to add a little more citric acid next time. Depending on the moisture levels where you live, they can come out differently. Hope this helps!

Just a compliment! You made my pre spring/summer planning splendid! I NEVER thought I'd find anything to rid myself from the carpenter bees!!!! I'm now following you on FB too!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH! Guess who's headed over to Amazon?!

Jessica: Thank you so much for the kinds words...you made my day! The carpenter bees here are so aggressive, so I'm happy to help! Good luck!

Your dishwasher looks fantastic after the vinegar cleaning. Would vinegar work on my new stainless interior dishwasher?

Jessica: Yes ma'am! Vinegar works great on stainless steel!

Hi, I would like to know how to clean the countertops around a glass top and where we prepare our food? The tops are wood. I have tried lemon juice, strong degreaser and the counters stay sticky?

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? My basement is mildewy and moldy.

Jessica: Damp Rid is probably the best product on the market unless you purchase a dehumidifier for that area. I wish I had a better answer for you!

Hi.
I have hard wood floors. What do you recommend to clean them that does not leave any residue? They have also slightly lost the shine in certain areas. What’s your recommendation to revive the shine without again leaving residue to show foot prints.

Jessica: Hands down, my favorite product for cleaning and restoring shine to hardwood floors is Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner. They even have a spray mop version if you like that kind of convenience. I bought mine at Target, and it can be found in most grocery stores, Lowe's and on Amazon. Hope this helps!

How to clean greasy kitchen cabinets?

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? Can you use the same stuff as for copper?

Jessica: Try rubbing it with ketchup! Apply a thin paste of ketchup or tomato paste and let it sit for about an hour, then wash with soapy water and rinse. It should help make your brass shine like new!
