Removing Nail Polish from Leather

1. Dab off, don't rub, most of the nail polish using a paper towel. Then test the

leather for colour fastness. This will help you determine if the leather can
withstand the chemicals needed to clean it. Take some acetone and dab
an area of the leather that cannot be seen or is inconspicuous. Acetone is
a non-oily fingernail polish remover. Wait a few minutes to make sure the
leather does not change colour.

2. If the leather can withstand the acetone, dab the affected area with small
amounts of the acetone using a paper towel. Keep dabbing until no more
nail polish is coming up on your paper towel. If the acetone damages the
leather you can try using rubbing alcohol. Be sure to test the alcohol first
before using. Use the same method of dabbing.

3. If neither one of these methods work on your leather, contact a leather
professional. They have access to more chemicals and should be able to
remove the stain.

Cleaning Grout

CLEANING GROUT


Grout seems to act like a magnet for mould and dirt, especially in the bathroom. Luckily, the most stubborn stains and mold will surrender to a little bleach and elbow grease.

1. Mix 1 cup bleach with a gallon of water.

2. Put on some rubber gloves and make sure the area is well ventilated.

3. Scrub the grout with a scouring sponge or scrub brush soaked with the bleach solution. Really dig in to get the dirt and mold out.

4. Let the bleach solution sit on the grout for 15 minutes.

5. Rinse the grout with clean water and let it dry.

6. Now you should seal the grout now that it's clean. Two coats of grout sealer applied with a small paintbrush will help keep it clean.
