Plumbing the crevice

At some point in Life each housekeeper must apply the crevice tool. Today was the day. I had learned from a very reliable source  the team on "Hoarders" tv show) that much of the stink in grody old carpet is concentrated in the schmutz at the edge of carpets.  I was vacuuming today and realized it was time.
 I put on the Tool and started. Yep. Overdue. I also remembered that our cat had a spot she liked to sleep under the bed, right up against the wall.  Great Caesar's ghost. there was so much hair there I though for a moment that we had another cat.  Thank goodness the carpet kept the whole thing from moving, or I'd have perished from fright right then and there. Or beat it to death with the crevice tool. 

Everyone has a crevice full of stinky, yucky stuff, whether we admit it or not. It doesn't get any better if you leave it sit. Might as well take care of it now.

Do you have the courage to do it? 

Dig out the Tool you need and get it over with.  You'll feel better. Trust me.

EZ Laundry Soap

This is the easiest and cheapest way to make your own laundry detergent.

Grind up one bar of soap. I use my salad shooter, but a food processor or even a cheese grater would work. Add one cup washing soda, one cup borax. Stir it up and use 1/8 cup per load. It will not suds much, unless you use hot water. It will wash in cold water. Gets out just about everything!
