At some point, we&#39;ll all spill chilli sauce on our clean white shirt, knock a glass ofcoldrink over at dinner or find that the cat left a &quot;present&quot; on the carpet. Luckily, there are simple ways to clean these unforeseen accidents with products that you probably already have sitting in your bathroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water Marks and Toothpaste<\/strong><br \/>Water marks can appear on vinyl furniture when water, or another liquid, has seeped through and taken up permanent residence deep within the fibers. They also happen when a beverage glass &quot;sweats&quot; and moisture forms a puddle at the bottom.<br \/>Remove water spots or other marks from vinyl furniture by rubbing them with non-gel toothpasteon a damp cloth. If the mark doesn&#39;t come clean on the first try, apply toothpaste again and leave it on longer this time. After a couple applications, the spot should be gone completely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&quot;Accident&quot; Cleaner<\/strong><br \/>cats don&#39;t value a clean carpet as much as their owners do. Don&#39;t fill your house with chemicals that could harm the new family addition. Shaving cream makes a great emergency spot cleaner for removing pet stains from carpeting. Work it into the stain, then rinse and blot thoroughly. Be sure to use the foam kind rather than the gel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shaving Cream Upholstery Cleaner<\/strong><br \/>When cleaning any fabric, it is important to keep it as dry as possible. Even though you may think water will lift and remove a stain, it actually seeps into certain fabrics and makes a bigger, more noticeable stain! Try not to spill anything that contains acidic acids on your furniture because it will ruin the color.<\/p>\n<p>However accidents do happen. Shaving cream makes an excellent upholstery cleaner in a pinch. It sticks to all the tricky parts, such as chair legs or backs. Just spray on a small amount, and work it into the fabric with your fingers or a soft brush. Sponge off the excess, and blot the area to encourage drying<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scuff Mark Removal<\/strong><br \/>Here&#39;s something that actually works: toothpaste removes scuff marks on vinyl or linoleum floors. Rub the paste into the mark and wipe with a damp cloth. A little baking soda added to the toothpaste can provide scrubbing power. Use white toothpaste instead of gel, unless you want sparkly blue floors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scratch Removal<\/strong><br \/>Glass can be scratched and damaged by many different surfaces, like fingernails and other pieces of glass. Even loose dust in the air can land on the glass in your camera lens or on yourcell phone face and scratch the surface.<\/p>\n<p>You can rub out tiny scratches on your glassware by using a dab of toothpaste. First, wipe down the glass with a cloth, so the surface is clean. Then, completely coat the scratch with the toothpaste and gently scrape off the excess. Let the toothpaste dry before wiping it off with a cloth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dusting Grooves<\/strong><br \/>Wood furniture with intricate molding and carved designs can be beautiful accent pieces in bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms. However, these pieces can also seem intimidating to clean in any home. Small grooves are a perfect place for dirt and dust to hide.<\/p>\n<p>Make the job easier by using a cotton swab to deep-clean the small spaces. Additionally, a swab dipped in furniture polish is a great tool for shining and protecting your beautiful furniture.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#39;s face it &#8212; accidents happen.
