Green House Cleaning Tips
Microwave Ovens
Happy New Year! The first Tip Tuesday of the new year. 1 down and 51 to go! This leap year doesn’t really effect the delivery of your weekly tidbits from the Fig. 🙂 Friends, I have a peeve. I’d say a pet peeve, but that implies only one. Who really has only one peeve? This…
Read MoreLeather
Mmmm, leather. It can be strong and rugged or soft, buttery and giving. Leather is sexy, useful and can be very long lasting. If you take care of it properly. As usual, I’m here to help. I recently had a client (okay, my very favorite client) ask about where to get her leather coat cleaned.…
Read MoreKill Mold – Volume II
You know that quirky little video I did last week, trying to kill the mold? I did another one this week. It was great! It went very smoothly. Until I imported it and noticed that the second half some button must have been pushed that made it a very artsy sepia tone. Lovely. Unless, of…
Read MoreAction!
Hello kids! I believe I promised you a little journey last week. Well, we aim to please. Today I tried to clean up that mold we talked about in my corner of shame. I used our usual cleaning implements, vinegar and baking soda, and on the other side I tried lemon juice and salt. I…
Read MoreOn a Mold Mission
I’m on a mission, people. You know that mold in the shower? Not the pink stuff we’ve already talked about, but the black mold. There has to be a natural way to eradicate this mold. I’ve done my research and I know the ways to avoid getting the mold: Open a window while/after showering Get…
Read MoreDust. Again…
Here we go with the dust post again. I know you’re thinking I’m obsessed with dust, but really; I’m only trying to meet your needs and answer your questions! How do we do it? Dusting is the one thing our clients tell us that they will skip nearly every time they clean themselves. I used…
Read MoreTiming is Everything
I have had many clients ask how we do so much in such a short amount of time. The first thing I ask them is, “When do you ever have 3 or 4 uninterrupted hours in your home?” The answer to that is always never, or they wouldn’t need us! But to truly address the…
Read MoreDon’t Be a Sucker
Today’s Tip Tuesday covers those sucker-bottomed tub floor covers. You know those mats that you stick in the bottom of your tub so that you don’t slip? The ones with the hundred little sucker cups on the bottom? Yes! Those! I hate those. I know, I know, they keep little Johnny or Susie from falling…
Read MorePurple Figger Confesses to Laziness
This Tip Tuesday is more like an anecdote with a lesson in the end. ‘J’ doesn’t clean very much. That sounds like a complaint, but it’s not really. I’m never quite happy when someone else cleans. I feel they either do too little or concentrate on the wrong things during a quick-y. I was doing…
Read MoreThe Pink Scourge
We’ve all seen it. How did it get there? How do you get rid of it? And why does it look like Barbie put it there? The pink stuff you find in the shower or tub and inside the toilet bowl right at the waterline is actually a bacteria. Nope, not a mold as it…
