Miniblind Spring Cleaning

After winter most people start cleaning their miniblind. So if you are going to the same thing on the spring then this tips will be useful for you. First take the blind down and take it outside. Then lay it on an old blanket preferably on a slanted area of the yard and let the blind out all the way and make sure all the louvers are flat.

Mix up a bucket of all-purpose cleaner or ammonia solution and then scrub with a soft brush then turn it over to do the back side. By now the blanket is wet and is helping to clean the blind and protecting it. After that hang the blind on a clothesline and hose it off. Gentle shaking will help it begin to drip dry.

Cleaning Wallpaper

Below is the tips on how to clean your wallpaper properly in easy way. Just follow the instructions I got in newspaper and enjoy cleaning!

1. To dust papered walls, tie a dust cloth over your broom and work from the top down.

2. To remove pencil marks and other non-greasy spots from non-washable papers, use an
art-gum eraser or a slice of fresh rye bread.

3. To remove greasy spots, crayon marks and food stains, apply a paste of cleaning fluid and fuller's earth, cornstarch or whiting. Let dry and brush off. Repeat the treatment until the spot is gone.

4. Wipe off fingerprints with a damp cloth, then sprinkle the moist area with fuller's earth. Let it dry and then brush it off.

5. To prevent splash marks when you're washing baseboards or other woodwork, mask wallpaper with a wide ruler, venetian blind-slat or a piece of rigid plastic.

6. When you save scraps of wallpaper for patching, tack them to a wall in the attic or closet. When you use them for repairs, they won't look so brand new.

Cleaning Cast Iron Skillets

There's another tip I've learned today. I really love reading different articles that talk about something useful for every life. I've learn about putting some salt inside the skillet to clean your cast iron skillets. After putting the salt, you need to wipe it with a clean and dry paper towel.

The salt acts as an abrasive to scratch off any stuck-on particles of food without using soap and water, which can remove your seasoning.
