I woke up this morning to an interesting development in my dryer. Along with a full load of my twin’ clothes, a BROWN CRAYON jumped into the laundry. Of course I didn’t notice this until it effectively tarnished the whole load of laundry with very questionable looking brown smears. (Insert very horrified face!)
If this was a red crayon or a happy yellow crayon, I might be able to look past the melted on marks that are all over all of the clothes. It might even be considered art! 
In light of it being a brown crayon, unfortunately, it can’t be looked past. People would definitely not see these brown smears all over their clothing as crayon marks, and I would get a reputation around town as having the kids who wear clothes covered in…well something far yuckier than innocent crayon marks!
So does anyone have any ideas on how I can get all of this crayon out of the laundry? The whole load has crayon smears all over it, with nothing being spared. White socks are now covered in brown smears. Jackets, jeans, shirts, everything.
Can anyone help me save this laundry?

Here is what Carol has to say this week!
Did you know????
Would you like to keep your faucets looking sparkling clean during the holidays for company (or anytime for that matter)? After you do your regular sink and faucet cleaning, take a rag and put a dab or two of baby oil on it and wipe down your faucets! Wah ~ Lah no water spots for a few days! The baby oil keeps the water beading up and falling off! You can also do it in the shower…it won’t last as long…but it will last for some time! And for a nice finish on your bathroom sinks…..a light spray of funiture polish…and it too will bead up and down the drain it will go!
Merry Christmas! And Happy Cleaning!
I know that now, more than any other time, I am looking for all the short cuts I can get to keep things looking cleaner longer, while not taking a lot of time! What a fast, easy idea to keep the faucets sparkling! Thank you for sharing this with us Carol!

The first tip Carol has submitted over to us is something you can do to get some extra uses out of your Brillo or SOS Pads! Here is what Carol has to say:
Store your Brillo or SoS pads in a plastic container like the kind you get when you buy a small can of Folgers. When you use a Brillo or SOS pad, cut it in half! It will double the usage of the whole box! It is like using an Alberstons doubler without having to go to the store!
Now for the best part! After you cut one in half and use it, place the used 1/2 into a baggie (it can be a fold-over cheapie, which really are the best for this use, or a zip-top bag). Just make sure the end is folded over and the air is out of the bag, as this will prevent the pad from rusting! How cool is that!? Just place the baggie back into the plastic container and it will be good for another time! You have just tripled your savings!!! That is better then an Albertsons doubler anyday!
I am really excited to hear more of Carol’s tips! The next step to saving money on your grocery bill, is doing simple things to save money at home!
You will see Carol’s Cash Clips once or twice a week, whenever Carol has a great idea to send our way! My son is heading out right now to bring me my box of Brillo pads! 8)
