I am hosting people three times at my house this week, and, like any homeowner, I want the house to look as good as possible. I say "as possible" because we've had some plumbing issues and there are still holes in the ceiling of the living room. After that incident, we decided to save up to repipe the entire house with copper. Not cheap. Alas, the holes remain. I suggest you get some of your own; they are wonderful conversation pieces.
Our house is also almost 30 years old, so it takes some major upkeep. The kitchen cabinets are original to the house. Despite them being old, they are VERY nice classic hardwood cabinets, and they are a great color. The frequently-used cabinets were a little worn out and grubby:
I had tried everything to get this stuff off: All Purpose Cleaners, Goo Gone, furniture/wood polish, etc.. It was really frustrating that my cabinets looked like that! I like clean!
Today, on my weekly shopping trip, I was in the cleaning aisle (No surprise there. I love it.) when I saw these things:
I put them in my cart:
I immediately went to work when I got home. I couldn't wait to see what would happen! I was not disappointed! I used the Scratch Cover on the worn/grubby parts and just the lemon oil on the rest of the cabinets and my dining room table. They look refreshed and pretty nice! I suppose we can put the kitchen renovation on hold for now!
This stuff is now on my list of favorite cleaning supplies. What are your favorite cleaning supplies?
