not my thing.. A lot of readers asked me why I didn’t just go ahead and paint my cabinets.

So I used lemon instead.🙂 My kitchen, and the hair brush, both ended up smelling amazing.. Leave the brush to soak for about 30 minutes.

When the time’s up, you’ll see that all the gunk and debris from the brush has loosened up considerably and a lot of it will have actually fallen out into the water.. Take a regular, old-fashioned comb and start using it to lift out all of the hair, lint, and whatnot from the brush.I bought a two-pack of these combs that I use just for cleaning brushes for about $1.50 I think.. Look at all that lint coming out!.As a nice little bonus, those peeling star stickers came right off too!

I think those stickers have been on this brush since summer camp 2 years ago!.When you think you’ve gotten everything out that you can with the comb, swish the brush around again in the baking soda/essential oil water to rinse out anything else that may have been left in there, then rise the whole brush thoroughly with clear, clean water.

You can’t see it, but there’s actually quite a bit of baking soda clinging to the brush and if you don’t rinse it off, you’ll have a weird white coating over the whole thing..

I loved the lemony freshness of this brush so much after I was done, that I did my own brush as well!.Pumpkin patch – It’s never fun dragging a lopsided pumpkin home from the supermarket along with the milk, bread and TP.

Why not get out and kick off the Halloween season with a trip to the pumpkin patch?.Bake a pumpkin or apple pie – Once you’ve stocked up on apples and pumpkins, settle into the kitchen and bake a pie.. 4.
