helpful tips: laundry

Grease stains on clothes: As soon as possible, moisten spot and rub with yellow Dial soap.  Then sprinkle with baby powder.  Let sit for a day and then wash as regular. 

Wrinkled?  Toss a wrinkled item in the dryer with a damp bathcoth or towel.  It will steam the wrinkles out.

Wine stain: If you're out and spill wine, sprinkle stain with salt to absorb it, then brush it off. 

Ball point pen: To get ink marks off of clothing, try rubbing alcohol or hairspray.

my husband works on tires all day long... when I have to wash his uniforms I throw a big glob of GoJo in there and they come out cleaner than if we would have taken them to the cleaners...

squirrel - I have asked around (to many restoration experts) about the metal marks. All have said that the porcelain is probably damaged. There are people out there who can re-porcelain your sink. We plan to have the pedestal sink from the original house repaired and re-use that in our guest bathroom.

I'll keep looking for any other solutions for this one! If I find one, I'll let you know!

Squirrel, try kosher salt and a plastic scubber

I found out recently that for bubblegum on upholstry fabric (ugly story), use cornstarch instead of WD-40 or Peanut Butter or freezing.

Sprinkle on and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes, scrape gently with a butter knife; reapply cornstarch as needed

Sqirrel...... If you have or someone else has used an abrasive such as 'comet' to clean porcelain there is no cure if the porcelain has been scratched..... I may not understand what you are referring as 'scuff marks'. You can use "Bar Keepers Friend" which is non abrasive or some of the liquid non abrasive cleaners.

what about getting metal "scuff marks" out of a white porcelain sink??

I use to keep some GOJO handcleaner or any other brand of handcleaner - in the laundry room. If you have a spot on clothes - you can rub it in and even wash it later.... You can buy this stuff at the local autoparts store and Walmart.
