Tip - Getting Rid of Stubborn Smells

If you have children then you know that when toddlers are sick it is THE most horrendous smell that seems to linger for weeks.

My youngest is a sickie child, I have lost count of the times she has vomited in her bed, over the carpet, on my living room rug (which I ended up throwing out as I didn't know this little gem then), in the car, in fact she has been sick more in one year than Amelia has in total. She is a nightmare!

This is my tip for removing the smell of sick and any other unpleasant smell.

Mix washing powder with bicarbonate of soda and brush gently into the area, leave overnight then vacuum.

No more smell

This works like a charm

I also use it to freshen up my carpets and it makes your room smell wonderfully clean and fresh.

Tip - How To Remove Stains From Oil Cloth


If like me when you first purchased your oil cloth, did you think stains would just wipe off?

Yes?

So did I!

So you can imagine my horror that very first day I used my brand new Laura Ashley Amelie Oil Cloth and the girls had spaghetti bolognese (yes you can see what is coming...) and lets just say they aren't the tidiest of little eaters but I wasn't concerned, it would wipe straight off..... Right?

Erm no, it wouldn't come off

In fact, it stained bloody awfully.

I tried everything to get the stain out from bleach to toothpaste and nothing worked.

I was mortified so I put a distress call out to the wonderful people of Twitter and someone heeded my call.

The tip was from the marvellous @_Ger_Foley_ and I was advised to leave the oil cloth out in the rain, yes that's right the rain!

I thought they were bonkers but I had nothing to lose and we were having the wettest summer on record so my washing line wasn't getting any other action, I gave it a go.

And guess what?

It only went and worked

No stain... At all!

I was impressed to say the least and apparently the rain removes all sorts of stains including biro!! (Not that I've had to try that one)

It does make me question what's in our bloody rain though, but hey who am I to argue with the great Mother Nature who obviously likes Laura Ashley.
