Also if you don’t have your heart set on Gallery Wraps, I recently ordered a standout print from my printing lab and I’m really liking it (for prints I think I might want to switch out sooner than others). The price is less and the effect is pretty similar.

When I’m tackling nasty, built-in grease on my stove burners, I add more vinegar to the same trusty spray bottle to make the mix a little more concentrated and spray the heck out of the grease. Then, take the box of baking soda and lightly sprinkle it over the vinegar so it sizzles and works its magic. Let it sit for a little bit (for cleaning the oven, I let it sit for like 30 minutes), then take your scrubbing tool of choice and work away. For really, really bad stains, I use a toothbrush. I keep a little mug of pure vinegar beside me and dip the toothbrush into the mug for reinforcement. Sprinkle on more baking soda and repeat if necessary.

I did the same recently for soap scum stains in my soap dish and in my bath tub. I had used bleach, 409, “green” cleaners but baking soda vinegar and elbow grease worked pure magic. I am a total convert.

Plus it’s incredibly cheap!

We have old couches from Ikea that I absolutely HATE, and the middle of the big couch is busted too. I sit there anyway, just so I can snuggly with my husband, but it is really NOT comfortable!!!!
