Tuesday's Tip~Vacuum Your Table

We recently got a new dining table.  It was BADLY needed.  We hadn't sat together as a family for a meal at a table in our new home at all.  Yeah, we're talking a couple months of kiddos on a blanket on the living room floor and mom and dad with plates on their laps.  Good food?  Yes.  Good times?  No.

Along with a table comes one more chore but it's well worth it for the laughs and memories shared around it.  My table happens to have lots of cracks in it.  They're meant to be there, they're beautiful, but they catch a lot of crumbs.  Here goes real life; I'm about to show you the mess in my cracky table.....don't judge...lol!

Yes, loads of crumbs.  It happens.  Six people, including four kids, we are going to get messy.  I quickly learned that digging out the crumbs with a toothpick was NOT going to work!  So what's my solution?  Vacuum the table.  Sounds crazy but it really works!

Get out your hose and put the brush attachment at the end.  Vacuum away.  In about 60 seconds you will have crumb free table cracks.

See?  Nice and clean.  Give it a try and be sure to come back and tell me how it worked for you!

I really want to know, do you have any tricky tricks for getting odd places clean?
