Fix up my house - clean, organize, repair, maintain, decorate (read all 19 entries…)
Living Room 16 months ago

Drastic measures on the living room. Letting kids bring food in takes a toll. I decluttered all the shelves down to nothing. Zip. Nada. Took out all the furniture. Scrubbed the walls, baseboards and floors and then cleaned each piece of furniture: front, back, inside and out, before moving it back into a new arrangement. Kids video games are out of the living room and looking for a new home.

I just need to put all the pictures back up and get some black baskets for dvd’s and remote controls.

And if anyone has any clue how to get dried pancake syrup out of microsuede, I’d love to hear it.

Microsuede

Wow! This sounds exciting! I bet all you have done has made a world of difference…and even though it is work, even scrubbing baseboards seems to give a room a renewed refreshment!

As for the microsuede, I have not tried it so you might want to google it, but I do know that I had amazing success at one point removing cherry italian soda syrup from a very “bleach sensitive” rug with Oxyclean. If Oxyclean is good for microsuede, I say give it a shot. But check on it first, and test in an obscure area before attempting the spot. All the other cleaners I had used on the rug had bleached the rug, etc. but the Oxyclean took a stain out that nothing else would touch, and did not bleach the sensitive rug. Makes me think it might be gentle enough for microsuede…. good luck!

A weeks gone by

and I still haven’t tackled the syrup on the microsuede. But I will try your oxyclean suggestion, got it in my cupboard and everything.

I think I have housework ADHD.
