• Fingerprints on stainless steel appliances
  If your stainless steel refrigerator has fingerprint marks remaining from that holiday party, reach for the olive oil. Apply a small amount on a clean rag, then use the rag to rub off the marks.

 

• Remove those scuff marks in seconds by applying some non-gel toothpaste onto a clean rag, then rub the rag on the marks. They will be history in moments. Lubin says non-gel toothpaste can also be used to get rid of crayon marks, so make sure to keep some handy.

 

• Scratch marks on wood floor and furniture
  Not to worry, those scratch marks won’t be there forever. To remove, mix olive oil and vinegar in a three to one ratio. Apply the mixture onto a clean cloth and rub it onto the marks. The marks should disappear within seconds. Just make sure to buff it out so you no one slides on the mixture.

• Candle wax on the tablecloth
  If some candle wax poured onto your tablecloth during your holiday celebrations, simple sit up an iron, then grab a paper bag. But the paper bag over the wax, then begin ironing the area on top of the bag. It may take a few minutes but it should come out entirely.

• Water ring stains It’s a tried-and-true tactic: Remove water stains from wood furniture by rubbing mayonnaise onto the stain. “It actually lifts the moisture out,” Bruce said.

• Red wine stains on carpet
  It’s not a party unless some red wine spills on the floor. First, get a damp cloth and dab it on the stain to lift as much moisture as you can. Then make a mixture of half peroxide, half dish detergent and put it in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the stain, wait a few minutes, then rub it out with a clean cloth.

• Soot stain on the wall If that candle left a soot stain on your wall, grab the rubbing alcohol and rub some onto the stain with a cloth. The alcohol will remove the soot while not damaging the paint on the wall.
