How To Clean High Chairs #Tipsters *

I have so enjoyed sharing great tips for using Q-Tips Cotton Swabs over the past year. Actually, I can hardly believe it has really been a whole year!

I have one more great tip for moms that I know you’ll want to check out. You can also enter to win one of 2 Diapers.com gift cards in a special FLASH GIVEAWAY!

How to clean and sanitize your baby’s high chair

I like to use baking soda to clean our high chair. I hate the idea of spraying harsh chemicals on a piece of equipment that my baby sits in and EATS on, and baking soda not only gets the high chair clean, but it also removes odors. It’s amazing how funky a high chair can get, but we’re talking about a lot of food!

I make a baking soda paste and clean all surfaces of the high chair. Of course, there are some really tight cracks and corners that need to be de-crudded, and that’s where our Q-Tips Cotton Swabs are vital to the cleaning process. I dip the Q-Tips in the baking soda paste and scrub away. It’s a really effective way to get those additional food and dirt particles out of the small places in the high chair!

Works like a charm!

    I love q-tips because I can use them on so many things! I use them to clean my ears (I know, big no-no), I use them with my make up, I use them to clean, and I use them for art projects for the kids!

    My favorite use for Q-tips other than helping with household cleaning in small places would be using it to apply eyeliner. I do not purchase my eyeliner seperate when I can have my eyeliner in any color by using eyeshadow. I just damped the Q-tip dip in eyeshadow & apply :)

    My 4-year-old daughter loves putting on make-up to play dress-up. We always use Q-tips to apply the makeup. They are the perfect size for her pint-sized facial features and I don’t have to worry about my cosmetic brushes getting ruined when she gets overzealous with the lip gloss or eye shadow. When we are done we just toss them in the trash.

    We love Q-tips because they are fabulous not only for personal care and household cleaning, but also because they are wonderful for art projects (as one who has a background in art education I find this of importance, lol). Every year on Australia Day, in particular, I use Q-tips to teach a lesson in my daughter’s classroom on Aboriginal dot art – Q-tips are the PERFECT tool for the little ones to create their Aboriginal masterpieces. :) (And WOW, I could really use this gift card – I just had my third child two weeks ago, and the diapers are desperately needed, lol – thanks for the chance!!!!). megancrose@gmail.com
