Great tips. Aspirin?
sugar on a burnt tongue? really? I always burn my tongue. Will have to try that!
Excellent tips. I will definitely be using these. I read recently that you can use toilet bowl cleaner to get rid of rust stains. I left my shaving cream can on the side of the tub and it had left a rust stain....tried this trick and it worked:)Thanks for your tips. Stopping by from the Lady Blogger's BBque. Enjoy the weekend!
