Spring Break Cleaning?

Most teenagers on Spring Break are hanging out with their friends, going on dates, going to parties, where as I on the other hand watch RuPauls Drag Race and decide to start cleaning.

I absolutely despise messy things, I have always been a pretty clean person. I keep everything neat and organized (Even with my excessive knick-knacks). I love cleaning, I love the look of areas being clean and open unlike my little brother. Yes, he is only 10 years old but boy does he collect dishes! I wish he kept them clean and organized. My grandmother has excessive amount of knick knacks as well (I think she gave the disease to me). So I woke up this morning just feeling the need to clean! I pulled everything off my bed and stuffed it in the washer after nagging my brother to get the close out of the washer that he offered to wash first. He loves to offer to help but when he offers the underlying meaning is "Here, I will do the cloths, then decide I don't want to so you can do the rest". So as I type this the washer is going and going and my grandmother I believe is working on her blogs as well (Still trying to teach me how to do cool things, I already told her she can be the design manager of my blogs!).
      I see some people with extremely messy houses and rooms, it drives me crazy! Here come sit on my bug infested couch and enjoy a fresh glass of lemonade with Oh! with a bug in the glass. No thank you. So all of you people, I know my blog is becoming so tantalizing that you can't bear to walk away from it, but get up and clean! 

Tips from Ashley's Corner

•       For those guys who love their cars out there as well as women, You know that bottle of Power Steering fluid you have or that bottle of break fluid? Well You can use those bottles to get that white film off your headlights! Just take an old shop rag and dab some of the fluid onto it and rub over your headlights! BAM! No white film! The bottle of break fluid works well with taking some oxidation off of cars as well as trucks. I have a truck (1998 Ford f150!) Now for those of you out there also with trucks, take the break fluid and put some on a rag and rub it on the liner of your bed! You know when it goes from a deep clean lovely grey to a light spotty grey, it takes it back to it's beautiful color! It takes a few treatments though.

•  Any of ya'll have any kids that just LOVE to stick stickers all over your new windows? Take a bit of break fluid, put a little bit on a rag and rub it on the window and it'll take it right off! It also works great with taking old tint off if you have a little bit left, but for that you require a razor blade. Lastly! Remember to use a bit of window cleaner afterwards to make that window beauteous!                                                                                                        
• Did you know that newspaper works best for cleaning windows with window cleaner? I had no idea. 

• Anyone have those pesky ants roaming the home? Home Owner vs. Ants. Well my grandma and I did this, We boiled hot water and put salt in it while it was boiling, let it cool, and placed it inside a spray bottle and sprayed the walls, it worked to keep em off the walls and the counters, also if you sprinkle cinnamon powder it works, but it looks so bad! The best way to get rid of them is to locate the ant hill though. 

• Diatomaceous Earth works wonders on just about everything, well everything with an exoskeleton! If you get the food grade one it's fully organic (Won't harm your pets if they ingest a bit, same with children). You can get it from Lowes (not food grade but still wonderful, and amazon. Just remember it dehydrates the exoskeleton of the bug so it does takes about two weeks, however it does kill eggs too which most other bug killers do not. It's definitely worth it for the patience.
