Putting Pinterest to the Test
Today is my mom's birthday. The woman has a good tip for just about every household disaster and so in honor of her birthday, here are some of my favorites:
Tiaras and Bowties-5 stars (because boys are disgusting and this method is much easier than waiting until they all grow up and move out)
Salt Tree-Great tutorial on how to print on any fabric w/ your regular printer. 5 stars
Transfer any image to wood-I never thought this would work, but it did 4.5 stars.
Behind the Studios-How to clean your glass cook top-4.5 stars
Embrotique-How to clean the hard water build up off the fridge water thingy 4.5 stars
Life, Crafts, & Whatever-5 stars -Amazing shower cleaner. I will never use anything else. Seriously, if you haven't tried it-you should.
Natural Drain Cleaner-3.5 stars. It works for mild clog, but for serious ones, you still need to get some toxic chemicals. You also buy a little plastic snake drain for a few bucks-5 stars!!
Unique Just like Everyone Else-Grout cleaner. 2 stars- It works, but is just so time consuming, that I decided to just have dirty grout.
One Good Thing by Jilllee 2 stars- Maybe I just have the wrong pans?
Kissed by a Frog-Cleaning your shower with pledge. 2-stars It worked but when I did it a second time, there was just so much waxy build-up. It made me concerned that I would clog my drain.
How to weather wood-5 stars
Death to snails-Kill slugs w/ yeast. 5 stars
How to remove oil-based paint out of carpets-5 stars. I was so happy not to have to re-carpet my house!
Sewing patches-tip-5 stars
How to clean up a finger-print powder at a crime scene-4 stars-worked on furniture, but not as well on carpet.
Removing sunscreen stains-3 stars. It might have been better if I had tried immediately and not half-way through the summer.
What pins have you tried that actually worked?
Great post!!! TFS!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun post! Thanks for sharing all of these results! Many of these, I have been thinking of trying but doubted their reliability! Thanks for taking the guess work out of it!

I'm super curious about the cleaning of fingerprint powder at a crime scene...is there a story behind this???? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these great ideas!
Sadly, there is a story behind it. You can read about it here: http://trophyw.blogspot.com/2012/11/how-to-clean-up-crime-scene.html
