HOW TO FIX LIFE'S LITTLE MISHAPS
Mishaps happen and it is important to know what steps to take in order to reduce their impact.
Crayon on Walls * Spray the marks with a car part lubricant and wipe with a soft cloth. Repeat as necessary, then wash the wall with warm water and dish soap.
Gum in Carpet *apply a small amount of muscle pain treatment cream and pull out using a plastic bag once the cream has heated the gum. Dab with warm soapy water and pat dry as soon as the gum is removed.
Wax on Table Cloth * Once cooled and set, scrape off excess with a credit card. Place one paper bag underneath and one above the cloth and run an iron over the area on medium heat. The wax will be absorbed by the paper bags.
Lipstick on Clothing * Use a clean, white, damp cloth to dab off as much as possible as soon as the stain is noticed, being careful not to rub. At home, dab or spray with any grease pre-treatment liquid, let stand, the wash in warm water.
