Timely Tips XII

Vibrant colors vector felt pen stains

Here are more great timely tips for you! 

I love it that we can save time and money by using these fantastic tips!

*******************************************************************

Musty old towels can be refreshed by washing them in 1 cup of white vinegar on a hot cycle;

then repeat with 1/2 cup of bicarbonate of soda

***************************************************************

Clean patio stones with a solution of 1/2 water and 1/2 white vinegar in a spray bottle.
Leave for 10 minutes and rinse off. Some soiled areas may require a little scrubbing.

  Thanks, Thrift Culture Now, for this tip!

********************************************************************

I love the look of copper pots, but I don’t love the tarnish that sometimes mars them.

Simply slather the pan with ketchup and leave for 30 minutes.

The acid in the ketchup will break down the tarnish; simply rinse clean and buff with a soft cloth.

**************************************************************************

Save old aluminum foil and form it into a ball.

This makes a great glassware scrubber!

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.

Order out of Chaos
