Get Rid of Chair Stains with an easy DIY cleaner. Many chairs are now made with microfiber upholstery making it a challenge to clean. Spray the stain with rubbing alcohol and wipe with a clean sponge. Alcohol evaporates quicker than water so it won't leave a mark. Worried the alcohol will fade your fabric? Create a solution of one part dishwashing liquid to two parts hydrogen peroxide--spray, rub in, let stand and wash.

You’ve probably heard that commercial polishes can, over time, lead to buildup. That’s because they contain silicone to offset the effects of other ingredients. Since silicone bonds with itself, every new application is putting down yet another layer of it. Dust and humidity get trapped between those layers, so eventually, your furniture looks dull and grimy. Like your skin, dry wood cracks and looks dull when it’s not properly moisturized.

Is there anything worse thing to clean than dirty blinds? I use to hate cleaning blinds until I figured out an easy way to dust and clean the blinds. Gone will be the days of taking the blinds down and soaking them in the bathtub. I use a dry paintbrush to easily get between the slats. For heavier jobs, wrap the ends of kitchen tongs in a rag or towel and secure them with rubber bands, then dip in a mixture of water, vinegar and dish soap. Close the blinds, and go to it! The tongs make it easy to get on both sides of the blinds at the same time. In a matter of minutes your blinds are clean.
