Tip of the Day- Black ring on your stove stop

Question from a reader: "I left a pan on high on my stove top, and now there is a black ring on my glass stove top. I have tried to get it off but it will not come off. What can I do?"

Ultimate Housewife's tip:
1.) Rub the stain with a silicon spatula; small circular motions will loosen debris and fade the color. 
2.) Make a paste with 4 tablespoons of baking soda plus a little water and spread it on the stain. 
3.) Place a warm damp rag on top and let it sit for 30 minutes. 
4.) Wipe the area clean.

If the stain persists, make another paste using 4 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of distilled vinegar. Let the mixture sit for about a minute on the stain, scrub it in with a microfiber cloth, then remove the residue with a wet cloth. 

The next time you clean the stove, apply a glass cook top cleaner to the stove top, then polish with a paper towel.

Hope this is helpful.

How to Fix Scratches & Holes in Hard Wood Floors!

Oh no! When moving into our newly remodeled home, I dropped the sofa on the new, perfect hard wood floors, leaving a big ugly hole right were everyone could see it. 
Of course it wasn't in a spot that I could just put something over it! So sad I wanted to cry! My hubby just looked at me in shock like "what just happened" with a very sad look on his face. 
Him and I worked so hard on installing the floors! It was so sad seeing this!
The hole & some scratches from me dropping

I had to do something to fix this!
So here you, go this is how I did it!

- Damp cloth

*do not push the cloth in tje hole

*If you need to, add more fill.

Step #4

Yes, you can still see some little scratches because they were too small to get the fill to stay. But at least no big ugly hole any more!
