Homemade Edible Fingerpaint - Proven

I love when kids get to explore new things and especially when their little creative minds start to work. When I came across this pin for Homemade Edible Fingerpaint I couldn't wait to try it with Madison.

I followed the directions exactly and it was a pretty simple and fast process.

Madison loved to play in the goo that was created and she did take a taste of it but it was not to her liking haha. She enjoyed smearing it around the paper and feeling the paint for a few minutes. The project was rather short lived but it was a lot of fun. She seemed to enjoy everything about it.

I put her in the bath immediately and there are no stains left over, even faintly, on her hands. We will do this again soon....the recipe made a lot and we barely made a dent. The pin suggests that the paint will last a month or more in the proper container.

Can't wait to do this again!

Cleaning Microfiber with Rubbing Alcohol - PROVEN

My couch is long overdue for a good cleaning.  I have used other products before that weren't effective.  At the time a stain occured I would use carpet cleaner, which removed the stain only to leave a large water mark on the couch.

With a one year old and 5 animals inside the couch has always been a bit of a tough piece of furniture to keep clean, even when we don't let the animals on the couch.  (now we only have 4 animals and all the cats are "outside" cats now...makes it a little easier)  but still, babies and microfiber are NO match!

Don't judge my before pictures...they are terrible, but it shows even more how effective this process is.

The pin says to use Rubbing Alcohol in a spray bottle, a sponge of similar color to the couch and a bristle brush.  Well, I used a blue sponge (the white one shown started to crumble as I was using it!) and a blue bristle brush and there was no color transfer.

DURING PROCESS:

The results speak for themselves, but even the overall appearance of the couch it better, it appears "fluffy" and like new, not to mention that ALL the stains and water spots are GONE!  With a little help from the products I purchased and some elbow grease my couch looks awesome!

I am so pleased with these results that I will continue to use this process on anything and everything I ever own that is microfiber.  I believe they sell microfiber cleaner, but it's not worth the money.  I got the rubbing alcohol, spray bottle, sponge (assortment pack of 6) and brush from Dollar General for a total of $4, and I can use it more than once.

I am sure you will be just as surprised and pleased with the results on your microfiber furniture!  Enjoy!
