She used to remove leftover wax with a knife, and that often resulted in ugly marks on the glass. Oh, I can't wait to show this to her. It's gonna be the end of those wretched lines on our beautiful recycled glass containers!Jhames Stewarthttp://www.trycycleglass.com/decorative-pieces/candle-holders.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422401.post-53955369058625066462007-08-24T07:49:00.000-05:002007-08-24T07:49:00.000-05:00Those your tips are so wise and discovering! I wou...Those your tips are so wise and discovering! I would never think that Alka Zeltzer is good not just for my morning health but for cleaning as well. They say, Cola contains so active ingredients that may be used as solvent liquid. And there is a method to clean CDs with bananas. The world of human imagination is boundless indeed..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422401.post-80218195904367556162007-06-22T05:57:00.000-05:002007-06-22T05:57:00.000-05:00Silver cleaner:Aluminum foil 3/4 cup of DRY TidePl...Silver cleaner:<BR/>Aluminum foil <BR/>3/4 cup of DRY Tide<BR/><BR/>Place foil in sink shiny side up, add dry Tide and warm water.

Even just a tiny amount of wax holding the wick disk will fall out in a little solid slice. After they come to room temp I wash them in a little soapy water and they're good to go. I don't recommend washing used candle holders in the dishwasher unless you want all your dishes to smell and taste of "fresh linen" or patchouli, LOL.<BR/><BR/>Re the S.O.S. pads: You can put them in a small lidded plastic container (like a margarine tub or yogurt cup) and store them in the freezer between uses. It keeps the pads from disintegrating/making a gooey mess and they last a lot longer.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the chalk line thing works with the ants, really! I think maybe they don't like the feel of chalk on their tiny feet??? My husband and kids thought I was nuts the 1st time I tried it but we were amazed at how well it works.<BR/><BR/>Re using baking soda to remove crayon marks, it works, but those Magic Eraser sponges are incredibly useful for removing everything from everywhere. Scuff marks, pen, crayon, kool-aid, spaghetti sauce...just a few of the things I've wiped right off my painted white kitchen walls. And they are wonderful for removing that sticky build-up on white appliances, refrigerators and stove, toasters, coffee pots, can openers, you name it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great tips!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422401.post-76881371198272604602007-06-18T17:09:00.000-05:002007-06-18T17:09:00.000-05:00is very very nice your siteis very very nice your siteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422401.post-36469540276634091542007-06-15T15:17:00.000-05:002007-06-15T15:17:00.000-05:00Used dryer sheets are also great for cleaning spot...Used dryer sheets are also great for cleaning spotted bathroom fixtures and I've heard that you can kill ants with "blue" sugar - I think it's "Equal"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
