The Forgotten

Many times the little things we forget about make a big overall difference. The small scuffs, dings, and marks on one thing are no big deal but usually they're on lots of things and can give a shabby appearance. So as part of my cleaning before the holidays I try to spiff all that up. Today I'm concentrating on trim and doors.

All you need is paper towels, windex or a bowl of water, magic eraser, and maybe some touch up paint (white out can work too!). Start in whichever room you want, my suggestion is to do the hardest room first. Wipe down the trim with a paper towel and cleaner, use the magic eraser to get off most scuffs and marks. Do the same around the doors and on the doors. Use the paint or white out to get anything the magic eraser won't take off. If the doors are really dirty, scrub it then paint it, same with the trim.

Make sure you do all the rooms including the bathrooms. This gives a nice sharp appearance to the rooms.
