Recycle Buttons

Posted by admin | Posted in Cleaning Thrift-opedia | Posted on 23-08-2008

Buttons for sewing projects can be expensive.  Don’t believe me, check some of the prices out there.  If you’re serious about sewing and are going to throw away old clothing from your closets, collect all the buttons off the clothing you are throwing out.  If you are looking for alternate sources, visit a thrift store and buy the cheap clothing with the buttons you love.  This is a good, cheap way to scavenge instead of purchasing brand new.

Vinegar, the Ultimate Cleaner

Posted by admin | Posted in Cleaning Thrift-opedia | Posted on 21-08-2008

Don’t spend money on Windex or other glass cleaners when you can make your own that’s just as good or better.  Mix some white, distilled vinegar and water, add it to a squirt bottle and go to town.  It not only cleans glass but counters also.

Vinegar is also a great cleaner everywhere else because the acidity kills bacteria, mold, and other nasties!  Add some baking soda to the mixture and it becomes a great scouring agent for bathrooms.
