TIPS 11 May

Mary Findley of GO CLEAN.COM has so many tips and hints for RVers. She offers mega free info on her site but she also has numerous magic products that simplify cleaning anything available on her site.

For instance – to eliminate GREASE BUNNIES, Mary suggests this easy solution to cleaning those dangling menaces on any carpeted ceiling – especially just above your stove – popular in many RV’s. Other than removing your glasses and ignoring them, try using a lint roller made for clothing and roll the ceiling. The Grease Bunnies stick to the roller without smearing into the ceiling. A piece of doubled or tripled over duck tape will work in a pinch. Read numerous more tips from Mary and the mega info in her column Here Be sure to follow links to her comprehensive site as well. While there check out her many no-cost tips & RV Kits.

Stores having problems may and/or may not honour their cards. Sooo, If you have any store cards, you should spend them. Rather than name stores please read the entire story here.
