MRS. CLEAN a =E9crit :
> Fabric Softener
>
> End clinging dust on your TV
> Are you frustrated to see dust fly back onto your television screen,
> or other plastic surfaces, right after cleaning them? To eliminate the
> static cling that attracts dust, simply dampen your dust cloth with
> fabric softener straight from the bottle and dust as usual.
>
>
> Remove old wallpaper
> Removing old wallpaper is a snap with fabric softener. Just stir 1
> capful liquid softener into 1 quart (1 liter) water and sponge the
> solution onto the wallpaper. Let it soak in for 20 minutes, then
> scrape the paper from the wall. If the wallpaper has a water-resistant
> coating, score it with a wire-bristle brush before treating with the
> fabric softener solution.
>
>
> Abolish carpet shock
> To eliminate static shock when you walk across your carpet, spray the
> carpet with a fabric softener solution. Dilute 1 cup softener with 2
> 1/2 quarts (2.5 liters) water; fill a spray bottle and lightly spritz
> the carpet. Take care not to saturate it and damage the carpet
> backing. Spray in the evening and let the carpet dry overnight before
> walking on it. The effect should last for several weeks.
>
>
> Remove hair-spray residue
> Dried-on overspray from hair spray can be tough to remove from walls
> and vanities, but even a buildup of residue is no match for a solution
> of 1 part liquid fabric softener to 2 parts water. Stir to blend, pour
> into a spray bottle, spritz the surface, and polish it with a dry
> cloth.
>
>
> Clean now, not later
> Clean glass tables, shower doors, and other hard surfaces, and repel
> dust with liquid fabric softener. Mix 1 part softener into 4 parts
> water and store in a squirt bottle, such as an empty dishwashing
> liquid bottle. Apply a little solution to a clean cloth, wipe the
> surface, and then polish with a dry cloth.
>
>
> Float away baked-on grime
> Forget scrubbing. Instead, soak burned-on foods from casseroles with
> liquid fabric softener. Fill the casserole with water, add a squirt of
> liquid fabric softener, and soak for an hour, or until residue wipes
> easily away.
>
>
> Keep paintbrushes pliable
> After using a paintbrush, clean the bristles thoroughly and rinse them
> in a coffee can full of water with a drop of liquid fabric softener
> mixed in. After rinsing, wipe the bristles dry and store the brush as
> usual.
>
>
> Untangle and condition hair
> Liquid fabric softener diluted in water and applied after shampooing
> can untangle and condition fine, flyaway hair, as well as curly,
> coarse hair. Experiment with the amount of conditioner to match it to
> the texture of your hair, using a weaker solution for fine hair and a
> stronger solution for coarse, curly hair. Comb through your hair and
> rinse.
>
>
> Remove hard-water stains
> Hard-water stains on windows can be difficult to remove. To speed up
> the process, dab full-strength liquid fabric softener onto the stains
> and let it soak for 10 minutes. Then wipe the softener and stain off
> the glass with a damp cloth and rinse.
>
>
> Make your own fabric softener sheets
> Fabric softener sheets are convenient to use, but they're no bargain
> when compared to the price of liquid softeners. You can make your own
> dryer sheets and save money. Just moisten an old wash-cloth with 1
> teaspoon liquid softener and toss it into the dryer with your next
> load.
