When you rub the stain you are only making it bigger. So blot stain and check out Shaw Carpets<\/a> website for tips to help you clean multiple stains and keep your carpets in tiptop shape!<\/p>\n

Lumpy Pillows
\n<\/strong>If you\u2019re unsure if you should throw your lumpy pillow away, there is a way to test it! Perform the \u201cbreak test\u201d by folding your pillow in half and placing a heavy book on it. If it pops back into its original state it\u2019s still good to use. If not, your pillow is dead and needs to be thrown out and replaced. Also, the \u201cbreak test\u201d only works on fiberfill, down- or feather-filled pillows not on foam or any other type of pillow.<\/p>\n

Mildewy Vinyl Shower-Curtain Liner
\n<\/strong>This one is an extremely easy fix! Just take the shower-curtain down and throw it in the washer with some old towels. Make sure to put it on a short-cycle using hot water and bleach and it will be as good as new!<\/p>\n

Crayon Off The Wall
\n<\/strong>If you have any kids or grandkids they\u2019re bound to get crayon all over the place, especially the wall. A magic eraser will do the trick, but if you don\u2019t have one handy you could always use a blow dryer to heat up the wax and wipe it off with a rag and dish soap. Or if you have WD-40 handy, spritz it on the crayon markings and wipe it away!<\/p>\n

Musty Front-Load Washer Smell
\n<\/strong>One of the most frustrating things to deal with around the house is the musty smell front-load washers give off. To rid your washer of the unpleasant smell you should move your wet clothes to the dryer immediately before they get musty. That\u2019s easier said than done, but if you\u2019re able to it will help prevent the musty smell from manifesting. Also, keep the front door open to let the washer air dry. However, there are other measures you can take to combat against your washer\u2019s musty smell. Clean the door\u2019s rubber seal once a month with a half and half solution of water and vinegar. You can do a cleansing wash by running your washer empty on the hottest setting with a cup of baking soda in the drum and white vinegar in the detergent dispenser. Also, don\u2019t forget to clean your drain pump filter every few weeks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
