I am a big fan of Martha Stewart. She always has a tip or two that I can use for my home. But some of the best house cleaning tips and tricks don’t come from her.

One of the best tips I have ever gotten about house keeping chore — Came from Ace Hardware on Marco Island!

Once upon a time, I decorated a home on Marco Island. In that process I have discovered something that changed the cleaning process for me — something that makes life easier.  It doesn’t matter if you are living in one of the luxury homes in Spaulding Lake or your very first home in Tonawanda.  This product will work for everyone!

When I go to a home to photograph for a listing I will be taking Dirtex Cleaner by Savogran and coffee filters with me!   Yes Coffee Filters! I used to keep Windex and paper towels, and thought I was really smart. I would have to use a lot of elbow grease to get the glass to shine and then I would have lint to deal with. There is an added bonus, it seems that the glass stays cleaner longer too!

Well my handy Ace Hardware shared a secret with me and I am a believer. And I am sharing this with you! This stuff is absolutely amazing and it works so easily. Coffee filters are lint free and perfect size for you to work with!

Now some coffee fans, might not agree with using their coffee filters for cleaning, but they are rather inexpensive and effective. I apologize if I offend anyone…

This is an example of cheapest isn’t always the best — the stuff is almost twice the cost of Windex.

Then again sometimes you spend a little more money but get better results.   Isn’t that what we want?   Quality Results.   Need assistance selling your WNY home?   Call the Best Buffalo Homes Team at (716) 650-0051 to find out the latest information about buying, selling and investing in Western New York.
