Cleaning a Dirty Vase:
To clean a stained vase, mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 tablespoon each of vinegar, cooking alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide (volume 10). Apply this mixture to the vase and let it sit for a few minutes before adding water and wiping with a cloth. If stains persist, use a dampened pumice stone gently to avoid scratches.
Removing Odors from Sofas and Mattresses:
For odor removal, especially from pet accidents, apply 10 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to the affected area and let it dry. For persistent smells, combine hydrogen peroxide with baking soda and apply to the area. Test this mixture on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t lighten the fabric.
These tips will help you tackle cleaning and deodorizing tasks effectively, leaving your old house feeling fresh and welcoming.
