MABEL’S WISDOM
Brighten Up Your Lampshades!
Back in my day, we didn't have fancy cleaning products, but we still kept things spick and span! If your fabric lampshades are looking a bit dingy, here's a simple remedy that worked wonders for me.
First, mix up a gentle cleaning solution with 1 cup of warm water and 1 teaspoon of mild dish soap.
Dip a soft cloth into the solution and gently wipe down the lampshade, being careful not to soak the fabric. Let it air dry, and you'll see those shades looking as good as new!
Remember, a little elbow grease and some simple ingredients can go a long way!

TIP OF THE DAY
Does Your Car Smell Like Last Week's Takeout?
Start with a deep clean! Grab a vacuum and tackle crumbs hiding in the crevices. Use a gentle cleaner on surfaces, and don't forget the windows for that crystal-clear view. Add a few drops of essential oil to a cotton ball and tuck it under the seats for a fresh, lingering scent. It's like a spa day for your car! |  |
