Works For Me: Cleaning Magic


Today is Wednesday and I am again participating in
Shannon's Works For Me!

HOW TO CLEAN THE HOUSE

1. Open a new file in your PC.
2. Name it "Housework."
3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN.
4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN.
5. Your PC will ask you...

"Are you sure you want to delete Housework permanently?"

6. Calmly answer, "Yes," and press the mouse button firmly......
7. Feel better?

Works for me!

Okay, I actually do have a great tip for housecleaning. Monica mentioned this in her WWFM last week, but I think it is worth expounding on. If you have yet to find this product:



- it will change your life. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Allow me to illustrate with my wall:

Yes. I Did. No, I have not gone crazy. Just watch:

And, voila:

GONE, like Buttah!

Also, great for soap scum, black marks on floors and those scuff marks you thought you could only paint over! For a bucket full of other uses check here.

Works for Me!

PS. Momma Darlin and My Full Hands, I'll post the how to paint cloud instructions tommorrow!

  2. Great product!! I just found that Target has its own imitation Magic Eraser for cheaper. Not sure if it works exactly the same- thank goodness I haven't had to use it yet. If you have kids the Magic Eraser is a necessity.

  4. If only there was some sort of magic associated with your first idea so it would really go away.

    You are brave and must have a lot of faith in Mr. Clean. Thanks for the link.

  7. I used the Magic Eraser to make our house sparkly before we sold it a couple years ago. Works great for getting scuff marks off of a white dryer.

    I've found you do have to be careful using it on gloss or semi-gloss paint, though, because it can pull the finish right off with the crayon marks. I'm not sure which looks worse. ;-)

    Thanks for stopping by!

  11. Love the tutorial- LOL! Gotta love the Magic Eraser. They sell them at Dollar Tree too (an off-brand), but I don't think they are as good as the real deal :)

    This has been my favorite one today!

  12. Super tip and fantastic demo.:)

    I also like Goo Gone for more stubborn crayon artwork - it's safe for painted walls, even.

    And I am still laughing about deleting housework. If only...

  15. When my husband and I sold our home in WA we used 6 full erasers to clean our walls. The realtor said almost everyone who walked through though we had repainted for the sale. Works for me!!!

  17. A few years ago when the Magic Eraser was just released, I got a sample in the mail and immediately gave it to my friend with a 2 year old. She put it to the test and now I always have one on hand... and for like a buck fifty, you can't go wrong...

  19. I really loved the joke. You stole my WFM idea. Though I would not have done such a good demo. My DH is a custodian and they use this at work. It is pretty bad when it has to be used for the doodles of college students.

  31. Is the shading rich and glowing? Is the heap at an even tallness, and sheared appropriately? Is the size fitting for the zone in your home where you need to put the floor covering? Keep in mind, you are taking a gander at "unique" floor coverings and a portion of the measurements are a little odd. Carpet Cleaning Brooklyn NY
