Hi Everyone,
If your carpet is starting to take on unpleasant odors due
to pets or spills, use this cheap and natural method to make
it smell as good as new. Lightly sprinkle baking soda over
the carpet and let sit 20 minutes. Vacuum, and any odors will
be done. The baking soda sinks into the fibers so it helps
remove deep dirt and any odors.

Hint 1:
Spill something on the carpet? First, soak up the spill with
a paper towel, then blot with a baby wipe or pre-moistened
facial wipe. Turn the wipe over on the stain until everything
is absorbed and the spot is gone. Then lightly rinse the area
with a damp cloth and let it dry.

Hint 2:
To get rid of a scratch on a glass vase or drinking glass,
rub with non-gel white toothpaste and a soft cloth. The
paste's abrasive properties will smooth the glass to make
the scratch invisible.
