Cleaning Tip Of The Day!
For crystal clear windows after using Ammoniated Window Cleaner, use
a dry cloth and wipe one side of window with vertical sweeping motions
and the other side with horizontal sweeping motions. If there are any
remaining streaks, the direction will determine which side of the glass
needs to be wiped again.
(Wipe with long back and forth strokes to avoid streaking.)

Think you are the only one who has trouble getting your husband to
pick up after himself? Being made of clay doesn't seem to help the
situation any either!
PRODUCT REVIEWS
Since I spend a fair bit of time cleaning, I thought I would take notes and put some of my results with various cleaning products on Retro Housewife. As always, if anyone would like to add their own comments, they are very welcome to!
KABOOM - I received some samples of
Kaboom in the mail, so I think I will start here! My first impression? Funny name and purple
bottle...rest assured I don't think it is explosive, or that the
intention of this product is to eliminate dirt by going "Kaboom".
The name does lend itself nicely to "verbification" as in... "Mom,
can I watch TV? I just Kaboomed the bathroom." Read my full
review of Kaboom
Fun with Oxi Clean Versatile. (Yup, the
one from the TV commercials.)

Bugs! Don't you just love insects that creep into your house at night and chew holes in your beautiful rose bushes? How to Get Rid of Things is a site I found that discusses the nasty topic of ridding your home sweet home of creepy crawlies. If you have read my blog entry about ants or snails, you know I dislike things that go crunch in the night!
"How to Get Rid of Things" is obviously run by (a) (single) man/men! Judging from the pictures posted, they have first hand experience with the need to get rid of ants! I trust him/them completely!
