    Some great tips here, will be tackling our windows this weekend…ugh! Wish I had known about the Lego tip back in the day. I just used to fill the laundry tub with hot soapy water and let em soak for a few hours, rinse and dry outside in the sun on a picnic blanket or a few beach towels.

    Any of the dawn dish soap for fleas or just the blue.

  3. Rya

    ONLY the blue works!

    Enjoyed your cleaning tips, especially how to clean between the glass on oven door. The tip on cleaning old cookie sheets would not activate, so unable to view. Will let my grand daughter know about clea
    ning the legos.

    Gardeners should always keep the original blue Dawn with them when working outside. If you think you may have come in contact with poison ivy, immediately wash the affected area with the blue Dawn. It is known for cutting grease and oil and the worst part of poison ivy is the oil it leaves on your skin.

    The paste she made is hydrogen peroxide and backing soda. Leave it on for a few hours, then “scrub” it off…

    What do you use for #9 and 12. How-to did not come up.

    Please do not clean your dryer vent like this. I am a fire inspector and this method is not correct.

    Great tips! I love the tip about throwing the trash away every night. It’s so simple but true. It can really make your home smell better if you pick up that habit. Thanks for sharing!
