It's a lazy, hazy time of year for most people... and the last thing anyone wants to think about is cleaning! So we will move forward gently--easing into the idea of cleaning. If you're up to being more aggressive or are more motivated, there's plenty more to review on the site to help you along!

TIP OF THE WEEK: Removing a cherry stain is done opposite of how most people are accustomed to stains being removed: Boil some water. Stretch the fabric (any washable fabric--not delicate!!) over a cup or a glass such that the stain is centered over the opening, then pour the boiling water over the stain. You may need to do it a few times, but man--was I stunned when this removed the cherry stains my 4 year old got on his favorite shirt!
