Cat hair

I have 1 cat and she has one chair that she just loves to lay in. I call it the cat’s chair. It’s nice she has her own place to lay but… she leaves it full of cat fur. My vacuum just won’t pick up all the hairs and I need to find a quick, easy way to clean up all the fur.

If you have any good suggestions, please leave me a comment here. Thanks!

Candles

Candles are pretty and can make your home smell good but sometimes cleaning out the Votive candle holders can be a real pain in the neck. There are a couple different ways to clean the wax residue of them.

One way is to put the holder in the freezer for a little bit then you should be able to pop that bit of candle right out of the holder. Some say to put about an eighth inch of water into the holder before inserting the candle and that will make removal easier. (I haven’t tried this one, so I don’t know if it really works or not). Another way is to put the holder into a pan of very hot water, if it’s a washable holder, and wait a little bit and you should be able to scrape the wax out with a spoon or butter knife.

My preferred method is the freezer method. It takes about an hour and the leftover wax pops right out with a spoon or butter knife.
