Removing Mold

 Queen of Clean Linda Cobb,

PHOENIX -- Today I want to go over some ways to remove mold and mildew from showers.

One of the most natural ways to do it is by spraying the mold and/or mildew with undiluted white vinegar or lemon juice. Heating the vinegar will make it even more effective.

Spray, walk away, come back in about 30 minutes, re-spray and scrub with a firm brush such as a scrub brush or nail brush for small areas.

You can spray caulking that has mold or mildew with undiluted cheap vodka. Spray it, wait 30 minutes and then scrub.

For bad mold and mildew in grout and caulking, combine baking soda and chlorine bleach into a paste that will stay on the wall and not run. Apply, using adequate ventilation and removing towels etc that might be bleached by the fumes. Wait for 24 hours and then re-moisten with the bleach and scrub. Remember to wear old clothes.

Last, but not least, to keep soap scum, mineral deposits and mold off of glass block or glass showers spray them with Rain-X. Find it in an automotive store or where automotive supplies are sold.

You can also apply this to CLEAR glass shower doors to keep mineral deposits and soap scum off and make it easier to clean.

WARNING: DO NOT USE on frosted glass, etched glass, plexiglass, fiberglass, acrylic, and plastic.

Rain-X is a spray-and-wipe product for windshields. It's formulated for use as a rain repellent. It is not a natural product so please wear gloves and have adequate ventilation.

New Years Eve is almost upon us. Everytime we had a party in our family we asked my cousin Charlene (I called her Chi Chi because as a baby I couldn't say Charlene) to bring the Guacamole. Her dip was fabulous. Even though she is gone her fame lives on and I make her dip for parties all the time.

1/2 cup canned diced green chilies (your heat preference)

No More free coffee in your Hotel Room.

For Thanksgiving this year we escaped to Las Vegas staying at the Rio Casino.

I realize that what happens in Las Vegas is suppose to stay there but I just have to share this.

While I am not a person who enjoys in room coffee, it is nice to know that it is there free and waiting for me. I could not believe my eyes when I was greeted by this in room coffee service.

Biscuit Waffles

Take canned biscuits either five (5) or eight (8) count.  I find the 8 count best as four (4) half a package makes one waffle.

I butter the first batch both top and bottom to lube my waffle iron

Heat wafflle Iron to your normal heat setting.

  

Place youe buscuits on the grates spaceing them close in the center.

I check my waffels at about one min 45 sec to see ifthey are the color I like them.

If they meet the eye test I butter them while still on the iron and quickly close and 

open the lid to melt the butter.

Remove place on plate and enjoy.
