Quick Tips

{Vinegar Magic}


Many of you know, I am cleaner by day and DIY'er by night! Therefore, do I know much about vinegar! I LOVE it... yes, cleaning... and vinegar! 

Let me share some tips...

*White Distilled Vinegar and water (half and half) will clean and shine your wood floors like you have ever seen*

* To remove stickers that have been used to "decorate" furniture and other surfaces, moisten with vinegar. Let sit for at least ten minutes, then remove.*

* For persistent room odors, place a bowl of vinegar in the room overnight.*

* To clean windows, spray with half vinegar, half water. Wipe clean with either newspapers or cloth.*

* Spray shower walls and shower curtain with vinegar to help prevent mildew.*

That's a start... try them and you will never go back!





{QUICK TIPS FOR CHANGING CABINET 

PULLS AND KNOBS}


*To remove old knobs or handles and replace them, loosen the screw on the back of the door that holds the old hardware in place, then remove the knob or handle.
*To simplify placement of the holes for the new handle, check your home improvement store for a template that serves as a guideline for lining up standard holes at the side or bottom of the door.
*Mark and pre-drill your holes carefully.
*Before putting your new handle in place, fill any holes left by old hardware with wood putty, and paint that area. 
Attach the new handles with screws.
