Petroleum Jelly

If you have ever hosted a "black tie" dinner, complete with linen napkins? If so, then you know the dread of having to wash the napkins used by all your lady guests. Lipstick stains! But never fear! Simply rub the stain with petroleum jelly and wash in hot water!

White Whine

Ok, so I know that some videos are all fake and you can't believe even half of what you see, even on video these day, but...I did read that if you have a red wine stain, you can remove it by simply blotting the stain and...wait for it...pour white all over it! Wait 30 minutes and everything should be back to normal. (Disclaimer: This one is probably worth a trial run on an old t-shirt first.)

Mayonaise and Cigerette Ashes?

Supposedly, if you have water marks on your favorite table, you can simply mix mayo and cigerette ashes together, rub some on the stain, leave overnight, and in the morning wipe it away to find the stain gone. Now, I don't know if this is true, as I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but I would recommend using it on a table that doesn't matter to you much before trying it on the priceless antique table!

Everyone has stain removal secrets. Trouble is, knowing which ones really work and which ones don't. So, what's your tried and true stain removing secret? Please share with me!

Toothpaste! If you have permenant marker or pretty much any stain on plastic, rubbing toothpaste on it will remove the stain :)

My fiancée, unknown to him until an hour after we got home somehow managed to get black motor grease on a brand new pair of shorts the other day. The first thing I did was reach for the WD-40 can and sprayed the spots. Then I soaked the shorts in VERY hot water for about 2-3hrs. Scrubbed the area every 1/2 hr or so and finally threw them in a laundry cycle. When I u pulled them outta the dryer, the grease was COMPLETELY GONE.

For oil stains on clothes put baby powder or any kind of powder and leave it for a day then wash in machine , it works even the old stains

For ink stains (especially the liquid ink type) dribble on pure glycerine work it in we'll then wash. This can even be used on stains that have already been laundered.

Tons of tips right here! Just message me!!! Love to hear your tips & time savers! I love to clean, so meditating!!!

For red wine spills, shake Borax onto the spill, let sit for half and hr or so until the borax dries then vacuum up

What about coffee stains?

Colored pencil on walls; windex and clean cloth. Now I just use any brand magic eraser type cleaning sponge. Add water and one pump of dish detergent foam, the kind that takes grease away, work up a foam it's great to go on anything!

If you get hair color on your clothes hairspray is amazing. Just spray on wait for it to dry then wash out. Works every time!

I never knew :) I could get used to this!
