So, today, Mark, my dear husband, accidentally pushed my lit “Juicy Black Cherries” candle off the counter. It spilled over the countertop and onto the linoleum floor. It looked like a crime scene.
I thought, “How are we going to clean this mess?” Mark’s input: *crickets*. I suggested we wait until the wax cooled and then scrape off the wax. I quickly googled and the news wasn’t good. Suggestions that the color had already permeated the linoleum (perhaps down to the sub-flooring…Yikes!), made the outcome pretty bleak.
While Mark scraped the wax with an old license plate (don’t use kitchen utensils), I went to the cleaning cabinet housed in the laundry room. Scoping, I thought, Windex? Nope. Pledge? Nope. Goo Gone? Maybe.
When I saw half of a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, I thought, hmmm…Maybe?
I quickly dampened the sponge, got down on the floor and rubbed those horribly dark stains. It worked! I now feel like world peace is possible!
The dull spots on the linoleum should shine up when we shuffle our stocking feet over it the next few days.
Magic? Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are the crack of cleaners!
Lol, I’ll try to remember that trick! 🙂
