My landlord is going to hate me and take my $600 bond!
I love my flat/apartment. It was built in 1930, big old solid thing, huge windows, pressed ceilings, dark wood moulding. It's magic. I'd link to photos if I had a camera.
I spilled a cup of tumeric tea on the light blue carpet however which turned it a pleasing pea green. Well, pleasing if it had stained every inch.
Any clues as to how to clean it? I haven't yet tried bought stuff, but I thought maybe something simple and traditional might help. I'm in Australia so brandnames might not help, but ingredients would.
Best decor and dwelling advice ever? Let someone else do the work and fund it for you. I found the perfect contest and sadly, I can't enter and it is killing me. I would love to see this won by someone who is a blogger. I think they would make better use of the things they learn. Besides, who couldn’t use a 50,000.00 home make over.
This is a contest with The Style Network and Niecy Nash. It is the search for The Messiest Home in America. They ran this last year and only redid one room. This year they are doing the whole house. (And yes, I am hating it that I can’t enter.) It’s super easy to enter. You make a video of your home and family that is 1-5 min. Mail it or upload it along with sending in the entry form. Wahllah!
Last year there were only 50 entries. My last update (just before Christmas) was that there were only about 5 entries so far for this year so you stand a REALLY GOOD chance of winning.
Anyway, check out some of the videos and then enter on your own. Clear some clutter and support your habit. Happy Holidays every one. Oh, and if anyone wins I want to move in with you after it is done. ;-)
Has anyone ever tried using baking soda to remove tarnish from sterling silver? I've heard that taking a small amount of dry baking soda, and rubbing the item will remove tarnish without damage. It sounds like this might scratch though?
As a Baking and Pastry student I run into a common problem in my school, keeping whites white. I just wants some tips. I've been using gentle on fabric bleah (clorox), shout (on staints) and my detergent (Era). Is there anything else I can do? I'm just wondering
Question: What removes chocolate? Please if anyone know tell me, no matter how silly.
It's become kind of a tradition for my husband and I to gift some sort of fattening-but-delicious treat to one of our family members each year. Today, I made some candy bark for Ari's brother's Christmas party this weekend. It was really easy to make, and REALLY tasty. It was just white chocolate chips and candy canes. I got two bags of white chocolate chips, and melted them (Over very low heat, stirring constantly. White chocolate burns easy.) I then stirred in 8 crushed candy canes (Ari had alot of fun crushing them up with a hammer.) Then I poured the whole concoction onto a wax-papered cookie sheet and spread it out flat with a spatula. Ari crushed two more candy canes for me, and I sprinkled them over the top. I let it cool, then stuck it in the fridge to harden and stay out of the way so I don't eat it. When I'm ready to package it up for the party, I'll cover it with another sheet of wax paper, and let Ari break it into large chunks with a hammer, then I'll arrange them on a plate (I'm using a holiday-themed Precious Moments serving tray, that I intended to give as a gift to the family who's throwing the party anyway, and wrap it up with cling wrap. It should be good. It's pretty quick, and might make a good last-minute gift. Hope that's useful for you. :)
First off, I make my own laundry detergent. This is my first method of saving money at laundry.
My recipe is this: 1/3 bar Zote laundry soap (Really cheap... 2 7 oz. bars for a dollar at the 99 cent store)
½ cup washing soda
½ cup borax powder
An old cat litter container, about 2.5 gallons capacity with a spout and a small, easy to manage, screw on lid (I believe it originally contained Tidy Cats Scoop, Small Spaces cat litter.)
I shaved the soap into a pan and added 6 cups of water, heating it until it mostly melted(I admit, I was impatient and I didn't wait until it was all completely melted, there were still a few small chunks...). I added the washing soda and the boraz slowly and stirred it in until it dissolved. I took it off the heat and added another 4 cups of water to the pan. I put a little less than a gallon and a half of water into the cat litter bucket, and then poured the soap mixture into that. I sealed up the container and shook it up, and set it aside. It's now sitting and (hopefully) gelling. I'll report back as to how the texture comes out. The mixture is very pleasantly pink.
I accidently spilt some of the pre-diluted mixture on the floor. It quickly solidified into a greasy pink ickiness. Probably got my floor a little cleaner when I had to mop it up, though.
I figured it out to cost about $0.004375 a load, roughly. Not even a cent! I like it! I'm assuming a load uses 2 oz. Costs for the batch were 16 cents for the zote, 18 cents for the washing soda, and 22 cents for the borax.
I realized, though, that my biggest cost for laundry wasn't the detergent, but the apartment complex's laundramat. It costs $2 a load. For what I've paid in laundry costs in the last year of living here, I could have easily bought myself a washer and dryer. I only wish I had a place to put them.
That said, my second method of saving money with laundry is this: Doing everything by hand.
I went and got an eighteen gallon rubbermaid tub at walmart, and this is my new washing machine. It resides in my bathtub unless I'm trying to take a shower. I measure in a little laundry detergent and put in the clothes that need to be washed (sorted as usual by color) and fill the tub with water, until the clothes can easily soak. I mix everything up a bit just to get everything good and soapy, and let it soak for fifteen minutes. Then everything gets good and squished and stirred and generally swooshed about. I toss all the wet clothing into a laundry basket I keep for this purpose (For one, because the basket fits nicely in the tub when it's not in use, and for two, because it doesn't have any solid walls, which means it's GREAT for draining laundry) I squish as much of the water out of the clothing in the basket as I can, and empty the laundry tub, then all the clothes go back in, and I refil the tub and swish everything around as well as I can to rinse. I drain it again and repeat. Then everything comes out of the tub, and the tub's drained, and I wring everything out as well as I can and hang it up to dry on the retractable clotheslines I had hung in the shower. It works quite nicely.
This way, I've cut down on my power costs (by not using a washer and dryer), I've cut down on my detergent costs, and I'm not wasting all sorts of packaging buying a new tub of laundry detergent every few weeks. Every ingredient in my laundry detergent comes in a easy-to-recycle package.
