Have you noticed all of the “amazing new” products that will remove sticker residue, unclog the drain, prevent mildew, remove rust, degrease the garbage disposal, and get rid of toilet bowl ring? Of course there is a special product for every little situation—and none are cheap!
But before you go shopping, take note of some of the uses you can get from common products already in your home. I hope these tips come in handy very soon. And remember, if you need help with any real estate matter, I’m just a phone call away.
