This article will be a housewife's bestfriend on busting that dirty grime and stains. Ever experienced feeling frustrated in taking out dirt or a stain that you scrubbed for ages and is still as visible as it once where when you first saw it? Are your kids imaginative and creative by drawing in their masterpieces in your painted walls?

This article will help you big time in battling those dirt and stains. Based on the article by Real Simple, we will be giving five helpful tips for those stain headaches.

Tip no. 1: Cleaning Rugs with a Shower Squeegee

This is helpful because some furs are left on the rug fibers when you vacuum, so to do this, just "run a dry squeegee across the rug in overlapping rows. Collect clumps as they form and discard." -From Melissa Maker of Clean My Space Cleaning Company.

Tip no. 2: Use Packing Tape as a Duster

This works great for lampshades, speakers and sides of drawers, to do this, just "Press a foot-long stretch of tape onto the surface, then pull it back to pick up the grime." While for drawers, just ball up the tape and tap the balled tape in the dust and pressure press on the stubborn pieces. - Maeve Richmond of Maeve's Method.

Tip no. 3: Use Polymer-based Car Wax to Prevent Bowl Stains

This works wonders as the wax coats the surface of the bowl for months and makes it non-stickable to anything. To do this, just clean first your toilet then shut the water valve of your toilet then plush out remaining water. Once dried, apply the protectant wax and let it stay still for 10 minutes, to prevent water rings to form, pour ½ cup white vinegar every three months in your bowl.- Mary Findley of Mary Moppins

Tip no. 4: Quick-clean your Mattress with Spritz of Vodka

We don't know but vodka is an odorless disinfectant and it really does great wonders for cleaning. To do this, just fill a spray bottle with vodka then sprit some on your mattresses and pillow when you are scheduled to change the sheet.- Pam Young

Tip no. 5: Get Rid of Crayon Stains by Using White Non-gel Toothpaste

White toothpaste has a baking soda that is very good in rubbing wax. To do this, just gently scrub the surface with stain with a toothbrush then clean it with damp cloth.- Cheryl Sousan
