2013 Weekly Challenge #15: Stretch!

2013 Weekly Challenge #15:  Stretch!

Taking care of your body is an essential part of any exercise program. And yet it is one of the things we are most likely to skip.

How to Remove Fingerprints From a Painted Wall

Every home eventually ends up with fingerprints on walls and doors. In some homes these are concentrated around doorknobs, light switches and thermostats, but in homes with children, they can be just about anywhere! Therefore the question is always asked, “How do you remove fingerprints from a wall?”

Unfortunately, some paints are not washable, and even a light scrubbing will remove the paint sooner than the actual fingerprint. If your door, trim, cabinets or walls are painted with a gloss or semi-gloss paint, they will likely stand up to a mild scrubbing from time to time and shine like new.
