Household Cleaning: Removing Stains on Leather Sofa

For those moms who are having a hard time removing stains on the leather sofa; here are some useful household cleaning tips that you can apply for your leather furniture.

Tip #1 - to remove ink stains, all you need to do is to spray it with your hair spray then gently wipe it with clean cloth and that will do the trick.

Tip #2 - grease stains would not look good on the furniture, so to remove it apply talcum powder and corn starch. But remember do not rub it on the stain, just let it stay on top of the stain for couple of hours then wipe it using clean cloth. This will make your favorite furniture grease-free.

Tip #3 - water stains get into the furniture because of improper way of cleaning it, so to remove the stains use leather conditioner and allow it to dry up.

De-clutter the Bedroom

When we went to Mariott Hotel yesterday, I really envy the room; it was then I realized that I need to de-clutter our bedroom. My hubby and I share the bedroom with our youngest son; so our room has little toys too. For a couple of months, we did not place a television inside our bedroom. My reason, it is a place to relax and not to watch TV. But later on, I gave in to my little son's request to have a TV in our room.

Going back to de-cluttering our bedroom, I checked our closet and I need to remove clothes which were stuck in there for a couple of months. Then, I saw my collections of bags- oh my! some of them needs a little cleaning and store them properly.

I guess I need to exert extra effort to make our room look more like a bedroom rather than playroom and entertainment. Hopefully I would be able to maintain the cleanliness of our bedroom so it will be a relaxing place for me and hubby.
