Fabric softner sheets are great for cleaning crayon marks off the walls...

I have a question rather than a tip - How do you end the odor of cat spray that has seeped in through basement walls? The previous owner of our home had outdoor cats that attracted amorous male cats. When we experience a damp period, the smell of stale cat urine penetrates our basement walls and leaves or back guest room unusable and smelling of old cat. The walls are finished with dry wall, so attacking the actual cement walls from inside is not an option. I had once read that bleach along the outside walls will eventually cure the problem, but thought perhaps our saged experts here might have an alternative or clearer answer. Thank you to all!

Not a tip, just a question- Does anyone remember what Kim used in an episode to wipe down the walls and window sills in order to discourage spiders. Thank you.

how to clean cheap painted walls

Need suggestion. I had a fire in my kitchen which has left the walls and the roof stained with smoke. I could wipe off only a part of it though not clearly. was wondering if there is a way to clean the walls to avoid repainting.

To clean walls and tubs, use a Magic Eraser. No hard scrubbing!

Sorry, question not tip; we just bought a caravan and theres brown/yellow cigarette smoke stains on the walls and ceiling, which we can't seem to scrub off; does anyone know how to get rid of them? thanks

Purchase turtle car wax paste and coat your bathtub/shower walls and doors. You will find cleaning up easier. Do this once every two to three months and soapscum, mold and mildew will not be able to build up.

To remove/kill molds/mildow wipe surface with Listerine antiseptic Mouthwash. It will keep it from coming back as well. If you use Cool mint flavour, it will leave a fresh sent. (great for walls, floors, windows and even carpets)

Use blobs of toothpaste to stick posters etc on walls/wallpaper,wont tear or mark when taken off

help with all the rain my walls in the dinning room are gettin really wet and damp any help in noing how to stop this as its really horrible to look at and makes me ashamed when friends and family vist thanks jennie

If you have a particularly grubby bathtub, use shaving cream! You have to use the cream not the gel, all you do is squirt some into your hand and then wipe it evenly onto the surface, leave it for an hour or overnight and then rinse, no scrubbing necessary! Also works on walls! Pencil, crayon, marker, flarn, anything :)

not a tip a question, my house gets very bad condensation on windows and walls and i now have a huge mold problem in the bedroom where myself, my husband and my two babies sleep. im really stuck, ive got on to the council to help and they tell me that it is not an emergency or a problem!!! please help xx

I remember an episode where Kim and Aggie gave a great tip on avoiding spiders. It was something like lemonjuice rubbed onto the walls... anyone remember exactly what that was? I don't wanna ruin the paint!!!!

here is one tip I like to use . after you are done from getting a warm shower , grab the toothpaste and rub down your shower walls and the shower. then rise off the toothpaste and your shower will be clean and tidy!!!!

use a steamer to clean walls of grease and chip pan marks-also use it to clean mould from ceilings in the bathroom- my hubby used it to clean some really disgusting toilets in a scruffy old pub that were stained with goodness knows what bodily function fluids ( sorry if you were eating )-he dosnt work there anymore thank goodness.
