OK, the post below is just for fun to show you how different topic blogs can live together within CEOExpressions.I've just started this blog and I need really to spend some time and focus on what will be useful and helpful. That being said, the discovery below it is a fabulous tip that stunned me when it actually worked!
This blog will be irreverent and hopefully interesting. I will also be asking other ExecuDivas to be guest editors--maybe even a guy or two :-)
I am horrible at housekeeping, but I'm no longer "depressed" :-)(Category: Home Diva)
I have a fabulous housekeeping tip for you. (Gentlemen, you will love this one too)
So, I am into deacquisition these days. I am giving all my furniture to my nieces who are graduating from college and decluttering and streamlining my house and my life. I am buying new, 1950's style furniture and leaving as much floor space empty as possible. No more "chotskies", only photos I have taken on holiday and family pictures. That's it. China? Gone! Crystal? Gone! Silver? Gone. YAY!!
Well, the other day, I moved my heavy, round french country dining room table that had been sitting in the same spot for ten years. It is going to a niece.Needless to say there were deep, 4-inch diameter depressions where the legs had been.
Something in the back of my brain reminded me of a tip I had read somewhere about putting ice on carpet depressions. So, I placed large piles of ice cubes on each depression and went to bed. Nothing to lose I figured. Well the next morning, the depressions were about 70% gone. I did the ice trick again and after it was dry I vaccumned and Voila! Carpet depressions gone--after 10 years of a heavy table. Seriously gone. Is that a good tip or what? I thought I was going to have to buy new carpet just to get rid of the depressions. So, I love this tip and I wanted to share it with my friends at CEOExpress.
