Hump daaaaaay! Howdy, kids! Scroll on down for Today's Tip.


SPIFF UP YOUR FURNITURE

Do you have any upholstered or leather furniture that has accumulated bits of dust or lint in the tiniest nooks and crannies, perhaps around buttons or tucks? Sometimes vacuuming, even with a brush attachment, just isn't enough to make it look clean and spiffy.

Not to worry, though! There's a fast and easy way to clean out that miniscule debris. Simply use a can of compressed air and spray it out! After using the compressed air, vacuum up any bits that are blown loose and remain on the surface.

Cool.

That tip is spiffy! A good additional use of those air cans.

We have a big dog now that finds all those loose tidbits. Like a vacuum cleaner you take outside and he self empties.
Seriously, good tip Pam. I use the canned air for cleaning the computer and keyboard. Get's $$ for general cleaning. I'd suggest a decent size portable air compressor. We keep one in the closet. There are many things compressed air can do that a vacuum just can't.

Yep agree, those dust cans are very versatile in and around the home. You can get into every nook and cranny with them. I use them to also blow out little parts that fall behind cabinets or furniture that can't be moved. Good tip Pam...

... and when I spray it out, the debris will just nestle in another tiny nook or cranny...
