Pretty much every mom and dad know the key to sane survival is efficiency, a good sense of humor, google research, a lot of patience and today toothpaste tops the list as well ;)
Today I took on the task of deep cleaning the kitchen. And I mean DEEP CLEAN...dusted all accessories, cleared and cleansed granite counter tops, even emptied the crumb tray and polished the toaster!!! My biggest challenge of the day is what inspired today's post...mystery marks on the cabinets and drawers...
I may never really get the full story but the fact is that there was red gook all over the cabinets in front of the sink and the drawers by the refrigerator. Though Noah admitted and advised me that it was marker from when he was a baby (ha, yeah it was so long ago at the ripe old age of 4!), there is a possibility that it is simply from a stool that the kids have used for years that is painted red on the top.
After scrubbing with hot soapy water and clorox cleaning spray I went to the save all stain/marker remover...toothpaste. And after a few minutes it scrubbed right off (thankfully).
So, there it is...the tip of the day is when in doubt use toothpaste to get it out :)
(well, after you google it and make sure you are not going to ruin anything- ha!)
BONUS TIP: Toothpaste will also clean silver jewelry and accent pieces and help remove redness on skin blemishes in a pinch (a little dab overnight will do it). I have found that it's best to use the white versions and not the blue gels.
As always Happy Monday!
