answer to microfiber couch- I have 2 boys (3 and 1) and I sit for 2 girls (almost 2 and 1). I use my carpet steam cleaner once a month with the soft brush attachment to clean my micro fiber couch. Resolve carpet cleaner is what I found works best for stains and keeps it smelling fresh and soft.

The best way I've found to get rid of moths is to use cedar chips in the bottom of drawers, wardrobes, cupboards etc. You can even use them as a pot - pourri without anyone commenting adversely (if you care a sh** about what friends, family and neighbours think, anyway !). They need to be refreshed from time to time with cedar oil to keep things active, and the smell is wonderful. Sprigs of dried lavender may also be used if you find cedar too strong or masculine.

About the microwave, the best thing that I have done is put a cup of water in with some lemon juice and let it boil for a few minutes and then wipe out the microwave and it smells good and all the goop comes out as nice as pie. crazyknittincook

I found the best way to clean a dirty toilet is to use 5 tspoons of baking soda mixed with boiling water. If you leave this in the toilet overnight the dirt should just fall off the next day. And for an even nice odour use the zest of a lemon aswell.

The best cleaning brush I've ever used was a denture brush with a plastic pick on the handle. They're heavy duty enough to handle tough stains (especially when used with baking soda-bicarbonate for those not used to us Americans- water and dish soap), but gental enough not to scratch anything. The pick can get into the hard to reach places.

Here's how I keep my kitchen clean and sanitary. I keep my wiping rags in a bleach water solution. I use a plastic margarine tub filled with water, a capful of bleach, and a tap of dish detergent. I keep my rags in there all the time. They are sanitized and ready to disinfect my counters. Best of all, they are always white! I usually throw away the old tub when I have a newer one empty. You recycle at the same time.

f you have a dirty pan that you just can't seem to get clean or you burned something this really works! Squirt a little dishwasher detergent in the pan and fill with hot water. If it is encrusted inside and out then fill the sink and immerse the offending pan. You can leave it overnight but if it is just stuff burned or dried on a few hours will suffice. Works great even on old baked on stains! Scrub with nylon brillo pad. It usually wipes right off with no effort. The best brand I have found is Cascade Complete. It eats right thru all the food and grease. It only takes about a teaspoon for the average pan. You can also use it on stovetops and ovens.

Be careful to NEVER use ammonia based cleaners for floors or other cleaning (such as a trash container, or even windows) if you have pets. I was scrubbing my floors and patio doors with ammonia and hot water. Cleaned great but the dog mistook the ammonia smell for urine and now "marks its territory" where the ammonia cleaner was used. BAD! Ammonia smell will last long after another cleaner is used over it-- a dog can still smell it when we can't. Antibacterial is best.
