A party or a movie night is bound to leave marks of awesomeness all over the place! Long hours of washing is not going to be of any use and dry cleaners or carpet cleaners are too costly to be a frequent solution. Housing Corner Tip – Try baking soda. Spread it on the stain and let it cure overnight. Vacuum later to see the magic! Smart Duster Dust is easy to remove – almost any cloth or material can be used to clean dust. However, most dusters unsettle the dust and cause allergies. Tailor-made dusters for this purpose are costly and also cannot be reused all the time.
