Frugal Tips

Baby formula can create ugly, hard to remove stains. Here's a tip that sometimes works.

Using cold water, make a paste of unflavored meat tenderizer and rub it into the stain. Let it sit, and then wash as usual. The same enzyme that breaks down and tenderizes meat also attacks the protein in baby formula that causes the stain.

Here´s a cheap and effective homemade tile cleaner. Mix 3 parts borax and 1 part hydrogen peroxide. Stir into a paste. Apply with a brush, then scrub. This is atomic powered stuff - once or twice a year should do it.
