3. Tissue Paper

Ever spill water on your favorite silk dress or blouse? All you have to do is let the stain dry and gently rub it with tissue paper! Who knew?

I have no idea what is in those little sponges, but it works! I have cleaned up stubborn bathtub stains that not even bleach took out! My only regret is that they don't last longer.

6. 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.)

7. 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!

What about coffee stains?

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!

Mop n glo build up on floors is a big time bugger to get off linoleum, tile or anything! Don't bother with the directions on the bottle for removal. Just go to the hardware section and get the orange scented paint stripper, it took me 1/4 the time. After I had already spent 4 days on my hands & knees scrubbing.

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

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!

For ink stains on items I.e phone, use rubbing alcohol or perfume, lets it sit for a bit then wipe off

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

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.
