Pine-sol tips
Do you use Pine-sol to mop your floor? I do too. But I don't use it the way you might think. You see, it all started when someone told me that Pine-sol is great for removing wallpaper. My mom was in the process of redecorating her kitchen, and I told her to buy some Pine-sol. I then went over and helped her strip the wallpaper. It worked. We used a cap full of pine-sol and filled an old squirt bottle with water. Once you got the wallpaper very, very wet it came off in two parts. It was not easy to get off, but the pine-sol helped.
While we were stripping wallpaper my son spilled something on the kitchen floor. Without thinking about it I used the squirt bottle to spot clean the floor. What a fantastic idea! You see, I have a two year old. I almost never get to actually mop my kitchen floor; but I can squirt the pine-sol mixture on the floor and wipe it up in sections. So, now I keep the pine-sol in a squirt bottle. I'm hoping that when my son is a little older he will find squirting the floor "fun". haha

I love the smell of lemon pine sol! Sometimes I use it on my tile floors I always rinse it but my whole house smells like lemons. I would have never thought to use it to strip wall paper. I always used hot water and vinegar. When I moved into my house....this is a believe it or not moment...they even wallpapered the cabinets! I wish I had know that then. I stripped every room myself.
