Cleaning Tricks

Crayon on walls: WD-40 works like a charm. Almost as easy as wiping dry-erase off a whiteboard. I've heard toothpaste does the trick too, but requires a bit of elbow grease.

Pen on walls: Rubbing alcohol and cotton balls. This is SO much easier than just trying to use soap and water.

Stickers stuck to the wall: If these don't peel off, get your hair dryer and a plastic scraper. Blow right on the sticker with the hair dryer to melt the glue, then scrape off. If this doesn't take off everything, use some eucalyptus oil for the remaining residue.

Spots on the carpet: Oxy-clean carpet and upholstery spray is my favorite for getting spots out of the rugs/carpets.

Dirty microwave: Put a dishcloth soaked in water and microwave it on high for 30 seconds. The steam will cover the walls and top of the microwave and make it easy as pie to wipe down. This also sterilizes the dishrag!

Any tricks up your sleeve?
