Sharing entry #3: DIY / home&car maintenance

[yvi]

Third verse, same as the first two:

Over the next few days, I will be trying to post one entry per day where people can share general tips and tricks they think could be valuable to others. No matter how basic they are or how few people you think would profit from them. Just think about how you do things and share this with others.



This entry is all about Do-it-yourself, home and car maintenance

not sure if this is maintenance, per se, but i'm going to post it anyway!

water spots on wood: when i get ugly white spots on my wood coffee tables, etc. from spills or lack of coaster use, i put a bit of mayonnaise on the white spot. let it sit for a bit, then wipe it off with a paper towel or cloth. it should take the spot out. you may have to reapply or let it sit longer for more stubborn spots.

(note: it also works when you accidentally spill nail polish remover on the wood, use a wet sponge to clean it, and then get unsightly wood damage. not that i have personal experience with that or anything.)

That is a handy tip. I'm a little careless with my cups *cough* so I'm going to remember it for the future.
