How to Remove Leather Stains


Who doesn't like to own something made of leather; whether it's a leather couch, a leather coat, a purse or shoes, it's durable and flexible, soft and supple, and looks fabulous.

So what happens when you get a leather stain?

Hopefully either the leather you purchased was pre-treated or you were advised to pre treat your leather with a good commercial cleaner and protectant. Leather protected from the elements is less likely to stain. Then - you need to get to the stain immediately for best results.

Stains are not always noticed right away but don't panic - see our tips for removing stains on leather using household products.

7 Steps to Cleaning Your Vacuum

Image
  Cleaning the Vacuum Cleaner We try to clean our home and keep up with the housework on a regular basis. Maybe it’s every few days, once a week, or less often? But how often do we think to clean the vacuum cleaner? No matter what kind of vacuum you use, I’m pretty sure it’s a veritable work horse with all the dirt, debris, hair and who knows what else we have it suck up.

I know you see posts all the time about the using white vinegar to clean around the house and I as well post about the many uses. These are some of the questions we get asked often by our clients. You may not realize it, but white vinegar is environmentally friendly, it’s a germ fighter and you probably have it on a kitchen shelf already as you may use it to cook with time and again for tenderizing meats, pickling your garden veggies and bringing out the flavor of some foods.

Did you get around to winterizing your plumbing? If not, it’s not too late to avoid unpleasant plumbing surprises. Cold weather is notoriously rough on plumbing systems. There are sure to be more days when the mercury dips and water freezes. Here are a few ways to make sure your home is ready for cold weather. Outdoor Precautions First of all, head outside. Disconnect all hoses, drain them and put them away; any leftover water trapped in them can freeze, expand, and ruin your equipment. Check your faucets to make sure they are not dripping, leaking or cracking. Frozen pipes and expanding ice turn minor cracks into major leaks.
