Wax on carpet?!?!

This morning we had a slight accident and spilled wax on the carpet....BLUE WAX!!!!

Wax on the carpet

After some research, I decided the best (and easiest) method involved a paper grocery bag and an iron in the lowest setting. Cut the bag in half and place it directly onto the wax on the carpet and rub the iron back and forth. Move the bag around until the wax comes off the carpet!!!

 

Unfortunately for us, the blue stain remained lightly visible but it looks a whole lot better!!!!

Removing grease/oil stains

Ok....so we live in the south and love our Southern cooking which means.....GREASE!!! And greasy foods means some grease stains. Here is a quick and natural way of getting rid of grease from your clothes or anything else!!!







1. Blot the stain with dishwashing detergent immediately. If that's not possible, skip this step.
2. If stain has soaked in:

1. Mix one part of vinegar with
2. Two parts water

This will make an all-natural cleaner.

3. Apply to the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes.
4. Wash
