Hey everyone!
Yesterday was our first customer appreciation day. We all had so much fun washing cars, eating hot dogs and candies. The weather was beautiful!! The turnout was amazing too. We barely got a chance to take any pictures though, we were all too busy having fun in the sun.  Thank you for everyone who came out, and enjoyed themselves. At the end of the night we we're exhausted, sunburned but happy. Look out for our upcoming events....all summer long!

SIX NATURAL WAYS TO REMOVE STAINS FROM YOUR SOFA

So, You've just spilled (insert here) on your sofa! With panic you get a wet cloth and start dabbing, blotting, rubbing your sofa and the stain is not going away! Even worse it looks like it's getting bigger! What do you do now? Throw it away, cover it up and pretend it never happened? Live with the unbearable stain? Or you can learn how to remove that stain, naturally and effectively using these tips.

OPTION ONE:
-Create a natural mixture using three tablespoons baking powder and one tablespoon club soda.
-Grab a towel/cloth and rub the mixture over the stain you should see the stain starting to come off. 
-let it sit for a little while (a minute or two)
- Then wet a cloth, drain the excess and wipe down the sofa

OPTION TWO:
On a microfiber sofa which is said to be the easiest sofa to remove stains from.
-Grab some baby wipes and wipe the stained area until the stain start to loosen.

OPTION THREE:
On a suede sofa using some denatured alcohol and letting it sit would be a good option. 
Tip: Just remember every sofa respond differently, so test a hidden area first before you do the whole sofa to prevent discoloration. 
-Yes, there is a difference between microfiber and micro-suede and they respond differently to treatment

OPTION FOUR:
- A cotton sofa can easily be cleaned by throwing them into the washing machine. That's the plus side to this material. I would suggest not putting it in the dryer, but again every material is different use your discretion.
- If you don't want to machine was you can also use dish washing or detergent and water. Make sure the water is not very soapy and wipe down your sofa to remove the stain. After you have done this grab a fresh cloth with warm water and re-wipe the area.

OPTION FIVE - HOW TO REMOVE PEE STAINS
Oops, your furry friend just went pee all over your sofa. What now? Leave it to dry and pretend to company....and yourself that you're not laying or sitting in pee? No, thank goodness, just a little vinegar and water gets this stain and smell out of your sofa. You can also sprinkle some baking soda on the spot to take care of the smell as well. Just be use to clean it up after.

OPTION SIX:
Doing homework on your sofa, balancing the books, whatever it is... and the ink from your pen leaks onto your sofa. You think your sofa is ruined forever. We all think "Ink does not come out!" How do you get ink out?! Before you throw out your sofa, resent it, etc. use this natural stain remover tip.
TIP: Remember, never rub in an ink stain, it will only make it worse! Always blot.
-Step 1: Spray hairspray onto a towel and then blot the stain, redo this with a dry towel
-Step 2: Next, using a clean towel add isopropyl rubbing alcohol. BLOT the ink stain and then dry with a towel
-Step3: Then use a clean towel and apply nail polish remover to the stain(please test sofa area first)

Tips :
-Remove dirt/dust with a lint roller
-You can buy ink stain remover such as Carbona/Afta to clean the stain
- Vacuum furniture is also a good option to removing dust/dirt
-Scotch guarding your sofa is also another good option. This allows for easier cleaning.

THE 'ENTRY WAY' A MUST HAVE IN ANY HOME!

An entry way is probably my most admired part of the house. You don't even need to have a big home to do one either, and it takes limited funds to get one together. Whether you're in a small condo, or a large lavish home an entry way is a must have! It helps keep you less stressed because you won't have to run around looking for your keys in the morning and you'll feel much more organized and put together. Organization and de-cluttering is also very important in a small home condo owner. Don't be discouraged by adding an entry way to your home in fear of lack of space, in fact I encourage you to do it.

An entry way is located in the front hall of a home. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, simply a place to take your shoes on and off, place your keys and things you may need to have in the morning. A good idea is to have a mirror either hanging on the wall, or leaned against the wall on top of the table. It functions as a place to check yourself out, and as a focal point to open the room up.  You could also use a small or large painting to add dimension to the entry. It is a central place in the home to make your coming and goings easier. Add a plant, maybe a figurine or ornaments that make your home more welcoming and inviting as you walk in. Include a standing lamp, or some sort of lighting and voila, your entry way is complete.
