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.

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.

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

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.

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

Squirrel, try kosher salt and a plastic scubber

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!

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...
