How to Clean a Laptop



I don’t know about you, but my laptop seems to collect dirt and dust like small trophies. My screen proudly displays these small trophies over words I’m trying to read and pictures I’m trying to look at. Gross. Since I should probably do this anyway, here’s the scoop on cleaning up a dirty laptop…like mine.

How to Clean Popcorn Ceilings


There was once a time when popcorn ceilings were all the rage. Hard to believe, I know. Unfortunately, back then, this “desired” look was achieved with the use of asbestos. If your house was built prior to 1990, there’s a good chance that your popcorn ceiling contains this harmful chemical. That being said, it’s best to consult a professional and leave it alone. The best thing you can do is getting it removed, but don’t try doing it yourself. If your house was built after 1990 it should be safe to clean.

Isn’t funny that the place where we go to get clean can get so dirty? Over time, residual dirt, loose hair, hard water stains, and other debris can make your tub look filthy. No doubt this chore sucks, so gather the things you need and get it over with!



  • Start by rinsing the tub out. Take a paper towel and wipe away loose hair from the drain. Gross, I know, but it has to be done.


  • Choose your cleaner and get to scrubbing. Comet and other bathroom cleansers are good for this. If you don’t have any of those handy, you can use dish or laundry detergent.

Remove Hairspray From Walls



As anyone who has ever used hairspray knows, it doesn’t all just go into your hair. It floats through the air until it finally settles on the nearest available surface. Walls are of the victim of excess hairspray. If you’ve noticed that your walls are a little on the sticky side from hairspray buildup, here’s a few quick ways to get rid of it.

Vinegar and Baking Soda


http://www.greenideareviews.com

Vinegar and baking soda are great natural, cheap cleaners that can be used on just about everything. Baking soda is good to use when you need a safe abrasive to remove stains.
