Some great tips. I particularly like the water+lemon in the microwave for 10 minutes having tried it myself!

There's a number of things you should never put down into a septic tank system, solids like wipes and other material are the usual cause of blockages. Anything that also stops the system breaking down the sewage like harsh detergents and chemicals, fats and oils decrease the performance of your tank, also on a side note you should have a septic tank empty every year or so anyway.

I found that: 2 parts water, 1 part vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of Dawn Liquid Dish Soap (has to be Dawn!) all mixed together in a water bottle is the best carpet cleaner, it gets puppy pee-pee smell completely out! I have 2 puppies and every one thinks they are perfectly potty trained.

And I just discovered BORAX….it's pretty amazing! I am still experimenting with it, but for deoderizing a garbage disposal, it's PERFECT! Really, I have tried everything, and this is awesome.

Hey some nice tips! I have read somewhere that we should replace the wooden toilet sinks with the plastic ones as it can easily cause rashes in children. CCTV

We use the cheap toilet deodorizers on the wire in our diaper pail keeps the smell way down and they are not very expensive. I also have a small box on top of my dryer for lint, we use the lint stuffed in a empty toilet roll for starting our woodstove. My recent post Be careful what you wish for

Sounds like it's time to stock up on the vinegar and go rent me a carpet machine!
