Looking for ways to spruce up those hidden gems from the thrift store? Sometimes you might stumble upon the perfect item only to find it has stains, sticky residue or water deposits that seem impossible to remove. Luckily, Thrift Core has some great tips for how to clean up thrift store or garage sale finds.
Brillo steel wool soap pads
These steel wool soap pads are great for removing hard water deposits and other stains. They can be reused multiple times as long as they aren’t completely soaked in water (which isn’t necessary for cleaning). And if you need to stuff holes or cracks around the home, the old pads can be reused that way, too.
Goo Gone
This cleaner is great for easily removing sticky residue. Use it to clean up products left with residue from tape, stickers, price tags and more.
Magic Eraser
The Magic Eraser has a lot of benefits — it removes sticky residue and marks from markers and pens, and it could even brighten dull finds.
