2 easy steps to clean the stains of your couch with out spending a fortune!

Hello readers,

Today's blog will be about couch cleaning and how I manage to clean my corner sofa couch with just £3.50 (British pounds).

 The couch is a corner 3 seater that can be turn into a double bed and its color is light brown.  The poor couch has been through a lot recently. Such as coffee spills, cats rolling on it after their play time, shoe stains, pen stains and dust. I believe anyone who have a very active family can relate to that. Also I believe that not everybody cant afford to have their couch professionally washed but they still want to have a clean house even if it last seconds. I surely can't afford to have the couch professionally cleaned. But I don't want them to be dirty either. So I head up to the store in search of finding some cleaning products that will help me to get rid of couch stains. I searched all the store isles but I couldn't find any product specifically for the couch and the products that I found were way too pricey for me. At one point I ended up in the laundry/detergent isle and that was the moment that I had an idea. What if I use laundry detergent to wash the couch? So I search for liquid washing soap for cloths and at that point is where I saw the spray stain remover which was perfect for the purpose I wanted it. Since it was already in a spray bottle and was perfect for white and color cloths which means the liquid wont leave any stains itself. The spray itself cost £1.50 and I bought a pack of 4 microfiber sponge which cost me £2.00. I will link the items I used at the end of the blog if you would like to take a look at them. 

Step 1:  Spray the couch area by area and waited around 5 minutes so that the stain remover does it work!

Step 2: With the use of the microfiber sponge I rubed all the areas where the stains were very visible and spray them again and leave it for another 5 minutes.

Step 3: Fill a small bucket with warm water and by using the microfiber sponge start washing the couch. You may need to change the water at some point as the water will become really dirty at one point! I was very amazed that all the stains were removed including the pen stains which I never thought that was possible to be removed!

Then you just let the couch to get dry and the living room will smell and look almost good as new for few seconds! Then life happens! The two products I use are the pray https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-oxy-stain-remover-spray-750ml/p/0469990 and the sponges https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-microfibre-sponge-scourers-4pk/p/0328252 you don't have to buy the same products from the specific store as you can find similar in other store if you prefer. Just make sure that they are ok for white and color cloths as you want to remove stains and not to add any.

How I lost my job because of Corona virus/ Covid 19

I am writing this blog to express my frustration and disappointment with government, employee rights and life in general.  I started my new job right before Corona virus hit this hard and toilet paper disappear from every where.  I do live in the UK and got hired as a contracted worker through an agency. It was a job that I was more than qualify doing and the environment seemed too good to be true.  A week goes by and Corona virus was just a meme. Another week goes by toilet paper vanished from the face of earth.  Another week goes by schools/Universities rumored to be closed down due to lock down.  In the news the updates we were getting was how bad the virus is and that people will die as it is inevitable (how nice of them), no measures were taken.  Another weeks goes by all the produce, pasta and basic necessities are gone from the supermarkets, schools getting ready for close down and businesses were told to have thei...

An alternative healthier way to enjoy egg fried rice/ 207 calories for 1 cup of egg fried rice

Hello readers, Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is not as easy as it sounds. It requires a lot of effort and most of the times planning ahead. However there are those times that the constant  lack of time and those non stop cravings  make it harder for you not to dial that fast food number. Most food experts say that food cravings last only for 30 seconds and if you occupied yourself enough eventually you will just forget it. I say no if you want to eat something that you crave really badly then go ahead and eat it but with a smart way. Not only there is an alternative healthier way to satisfy your craving but a more financial sustainable way as well and it doesn't take that much time. After all the most important asset you have is your health and that is your first priority to invest. If your time is limited I suggest you to invest in a rice cooker as it takes 15 minutes to 20 minutes maximum  perfect rice without you being stack in the kitchen. If you are a fan of the...
