Sticky Situations

 

From gum to tree sap, sticky situations can pop up all over your house. Well, I have some easy solutions to get you unstuck!

Silly putty isn't so silly when it is matted into your carpeting. To remove it spray liberally with lubricating oil, let it sit for a minute and then remove as much as possible with a spoon. Then clean the area with warm soapy water and white cloths to remove any traces of the oil and putty.

If your child ends up with gum in their hair saturate it with some baby oil and comb out.

I will never understand why stores put price tags on the glass of picture frames rather than the backs. Anyway, to remove them easily put a piece of tape over the tag run your fingernail over it a few times and then peel the tape and the price tag off with ease! If there is any leftover sticker goo on the glass rub it off with a little waterless hand cleaner!

Tree sap and tar can be removed from your skin and floors with some petroleum jelly, just spread it over the area, let it sit for a few minutes and then simply wipe it away!
