Crayon On Painted Walls Or Washable Wallpaper?

Spray with multipurpose lubricating oil (don't let it drip on the floor). Then gently wipe, using a paper towel or clean white cloth. If mark is stubborn, sprinkle a little baking soda on a damp sponge and gently rub in a circular motion.

 If lubricants residue remains, dampen a sponge with a solution of one or two drops of mild dishwashing liquid to one cup water. Squeeze out sponge and gently rub in a circular motion. Rinse sponge; lightly moisten with water to go over area; dry with a clean cloth.

Drawers That Stick ?

If one of your drawers is stuck, there's no need to get angry. Rub a candle over the gliding plane and it'll open easily again. Never use soap! Soap draws humidity and it'll get worse.

Stickers Or Decals On Painted Furniture ?

Stickers and decals can be taken off painted furniture by soaking them with vinegar.

Lamp Shades

Clean ruffled or pleated lamp shades with a baby's hair brush. The bristles are soft and will not shag or harm the shade.

Squeaky Bed Springs ?

Squeaky bed springs can be silenced with a coat of spray wax.

Packing Lingerie?

Place the lingerie flat on a piece of tissue paper, and, starting at one end, roll into a medium weight roll. The tissue on the outside will protect it, and rolling should alleviate wrinkling. Also, the lingerie will take up less room in your suitcase.

Mattress Sliding Off Box Spring ?

Here's an easy solution: rubberized webbing, used to keep rugs from slipping on hardwood floors. You can find it at most mass merchandise/discount stores. It comes in different sizes and is relatively inexpensive. Just place the webbing between the mattress and box spring, and no more more slip-sliding away!
