Small kids at home?

Small kids at home?

If you have some little imps at home running around  and spoiling your  furniture or the walls of your house, here are some tips that might prove to be helpful:

1. Walls:

• To clean dirt-stained walls without having to get a coat of paint on them, keep a box of coloured chalks handy.
•  Select a shade that is closest to the shade of paint on your wall. For all light shades, white chalk also works equally well.
• Rub with the chalk as you would with an eraser.
•  Take a clean piece of cloth or some cotton and dust off the extra chalk.
•  Pencil marks can first be rubbed with a clean eraser and then the same chalk dust treatment can be resorted to.

2.  Wooden furniture:

·       If the sunmica/formica has chipped off from some parts and the wood underneath is peeping out, find a marker pen closest in shade to the sunmica/formica and colour the wooden part with it.

·       Find some interesting stickers that go well with the decor of the room and cover the broken part with the stickers. Put some stickers on matching but unbroken parts too in order to maintain the symmetry and the look.
