Out, danged [grease] spot!
December 16, 2009
If you have a grease spot on a piece of white clothing, Barbara says to wash it with a load of clothes in hot water, and add a cup of bleach to the load (a bit less if it’s not a full load), which usually gets rid of the grease spot. If the spot is on a piece of colored clothing and you can’t use bleach, make a paste of baking soda and water and apply to the spot, along with a few drops of dishwashing detergent. Then rub it in for about two minutes (rub with an old toothbrush if the spot is very stubborn) and then wash as usual in a load of colored clothes. That will usually get rid of the spot.
The Magic of Endust
November 23, 2009
Barbarock loves Endust. It helps her do her job. Here are a few ways Barbara uses Endust to keep things nice and clean.
- Spray it on a glove and dust mini-blinds and venetian blinds with your hands.
- Spray a little on a dust mop and let it sit and dry for 10-15 minutes. The mop will get up more dust without leaving streaks.
- Spray a little on a duster or rag, and get the dust off furniture while you also give it a shine.
- Don’t use endust on swiffer products. Barbarock likes swiffer dusters for quick dusting, but says they don’t add a shine to wood furniture.
So break out the Endust and add a little Barbarock shine to your home!
