Bad kitty + Leaky diapers = No problem

Have a cat or dog that has urinated on your bed due to bladder control issues or just out of spite? Or maybe your baby's diaper just couldn't last overnight?

Now you have a huge smelly urine stain on your mattress, what do you do?

I have the solution that works wonders and it even eliminates the odor from cat urine! You just have to grab some everyday items you already have in your cabinets.

For wet stains:

Baking soda

Vacuum 

White Distilled Vinegar

Warm Water

Washcloth

Directions: Poor baking soda onto the wet area and let it pull the urine out, which should turn the baking soda yellow. Vacuum up the baking soda.  Repeat this process until the baking soda is white. Then mix 1 part vinegar to 2 parts warm water and wipe over area with washcloth to get any odors out. 

For dry stains:

2 tablespoons baking soda

2 cups hydrogen peroxide

2 small squirts of liquid dish soap

Spray bottle

Directions: mix the solution in a spray bottle and saturate the stain.  Let it soak for approximately 5 minutes and then blot any excess mixture. Then take a warm water washcloth and wipe over the stain removing any excess solution. Reapply solution to areas where the stain has not lifted. Make sure to "rinse" the area with the warm washcloth every time the solution is applied and then let dry. 

You will be amazed at how easy and well this simple DIY stain remover works. I have used it to remove urine stains, as well as soda that was spilled on my mattress pad by my toddler after he slung my soda can around like a carnival prize!  

Next time you change those sheets and ugly yellow stains are staring back at you or your pet has an accident, give this DIY stain remover a try. You won't be disappointed! 

Attention Online Shoppers!

Have you heard Ebates is now Rakuten? What's Ebates you ask? To answer simply, it is another way to earn "free money."

It's as easy as signing up. After your first purchase of at least $25, you get $10 just for signing up. After that it's as simple as shopping at your favorite online retailers and earning a percentage back. 

The percentage changes per retailer, as well as qualifying categories. For example Walmart may have up to 5% back, but then maybe only 3% on baby or 2% on apparel. It's best to just get in the habit of opening the Ebates app and shopping through it for any online purchases, so you don't miss out on any extra cash with the retailers you love. Lets face it, you are making the purchases anyway, why not take one extra step to earn money? 

Another great way to earn money through the app is to refer your friends! They make $10 just for signing up and after they make their first purchase you earn $25 for each referral.

Let me break down how simple this really is...

How it works after sign up:

Open Ebates app.

Find the retailer you want to shop with and click the shop icon.

You will be redirected to the retailer's website where you shop and checkout as normal.

Your savings if the purchase qualifies will be added to your Ebates account.

A paper check or your linked Paypal account will be credited with your savings quarterly.

There you go folks! It's that simple to earn extra money. I have only had this app for six months and have earned $71.40. 

For my family that paid for my son to play baseball in one extra league this year just because I added one step to my online shopping. What will you spend your extra money on?
