A Hometalker recently told me that the best way to clean grimy cabinets is to put some dishwashing powder on a damp cloth and wipe off all the grime. In my house, we have a toddler and a preschooler (if you're wondering how this cabinet got so dirty, that's how!) so our cabinets get pretty grimy pretty fast. I tried out this cleaning tip and, I have to say, it was amazing! Isn't that magic? So, back to how it all started...
When was the last time you cleaned your mattress?My mattress was discolored from my dark sheets and a few spills so I decided it was time for a thorough clean! Here's how to deep clean a mattress at home using baking soda and a few other common household items:
I won't lie, this was not my first dumpster dive and probably wont be my last!I got very lucky and found this great chrome coffee table base!
This method is for really sticky tabletops that no other cleaning methods have worked!This project was born out of frustration! While putting away my Christmas crate display, I realized some of the fiberfil "snow" I used had stuck to the top of the cabinet it was displayed on. It was time to do something!This mid-century modern cabinet was a Craigslist find that came out of the home of a smoker. There was decades of cigarette smoke, tar, nicotine and grime built up on it that caused the top to be sticky.Just a word of caution: This is an EXTREME method of cleaning. It worked on this teak piece, but it could have easily damaged this as well. Your results may vary so use this at your own risk. I was willing to try this because if it hadn't worked, I would have had to completely strip the piece. I was willing to take that risk.Note: Using acetone on a polyurethane finish will eat through it and you WILL have to totally refinish the piece. I know so because back in the day Steph spilled a bit of nail polish remover (acetone) on our dining room table and it left a quarter size mark in the finish. This teak cabinet did not appear to have a finish on it other than perhaps an oil finish. I don't know for sure.
