Satin Hand Cleaner

Photo credit & recipe: Judy Stallings


Sugar Hand scrub - kind of like Mary Kay's Satin Hands...only cheaper! 
GREAT GIFT IDEA! - make, put in mason jar, tie with bow, add a tag! 
Cheap and easy!

Fill mason jar 3/4 of the way full with sugar.
Then add dawn dish soap (I use the pink one that has the olay in it, smells good and moisturizes)
 until it reaches just below the mouth of the jar.
Stir the sugar and soap together until it is paste like. 
If it seems to be too runny, add a little sugar at a time until it is the desired consistency.

Carpet Cleaning Solution Recipe

CARPET SHAMPOO SOLUTION:

1 Cup Oxyclean*
1 Cup Febreze*
1 Cup Distilled White Vinegar
*This homemade version works fabulously!

Pour contents into shampooer tank and mix with hot water to fill tank completely. This will not only clean your carpets it will also deodorize. It will smell slightly of vinegar until the carpet is dry, then will smell like febreze...

Be sure to test spot with the solution just to be safe, however this should be safe for ALL carpets.
