Who woulda thunk?


Have you ever had a vase that you just could not get clean because it was too narrow for a scrub brush? Or a stained container that wouldn't respond to any amount of cleanser and elbow grease? 


My secret for cleaning such stubborn stains and hard to reach nooks 'n crannies? Denture tabs. Yeah, that's right. Denture tabs. 


Just plop tablet or two in the bottom the stained vessel and let the fizzing power clean out all the spots and crevices you couldn't. 


I just bought a box of 90 tabs at CVS on sale for $2.99 that will last me for years. Yes, I felt the need to explain to folks in the checkout line because the cute the guy behind me kept looking back and forth between my pearly whites and the box that boldly announced Denture Cleanser Tablets. But once they understood the box's purpose, all nodded and said, "Great idea!" And cutie patooty had a nice chuckle. 


So if you have decorative items hiding in the cupboard because you can't find a proper way to clean them, here's your solution. Just call me Heloise.
