Here's something I learned after my daughter turned 2 years-

After kids play with clay(the store bought type),
Put some baby oil on their hands
Then just wipe off with a clothe!

I am sure many of you have tried,tested and easy tips around the house-
Share it please...

Dow Bathroom Cleaner will get most stains out of a carpet. Just apply liberally, and let set for an hour or so, then wipe/sponge up with a damp cloth. Try not to RUB it, as that will generally just spread a stain. Press on it hard and reapply if necessary.

This won't work on permanent marker, paint, motor oil, or pet urine, though.

Will have to check if we have that brand available here...
Thanks

2 ideas;

1.) baby wipes clean stains on carpet
2.) sprinkle your hands with baby powder before you go to the beach, sand come off very easy

If you don't have any drain clog remover you can use iodized salt, baking soda some hydrogen peroxide let it foam then flush with hot water repeatedly. My mom taught me that :)

To get candle wax out of a candle holder---stick it in the freezer for a bit. The wax become brittle when frozen, and easy to remove.

This is an excellent tip!!
Really works great!! Wax will pop right off what ever it's on or in!!
Also works for removing wax scented melts out of the potpourri burner!!
They pop right out!
