Right before all the rain from Helene started here, I brought in a few plants that I was afraid would blow over with high winds. One of the plants in particular is in a pot that’s in a dish. The dish was dry and I didn’t think it would hurt to set it on my Nanny’s old sideboard.
I was wrong about that.
The dish was evidently porous enough that it made a pretty ugly — and large — ring. I had someone tell me to use mayonnaise and claimed it worked for them. Said they were canning and put jars on a towel on their table and those rings were miraculously gone with a mayonnaise application. I tried it.
It didn’t work.
Before I hit this thing with a light sand, I’m going to try it once again following directions this time around. I didn’t know you’re supposed to apply a thick layer and lit it set for at least 12 hours.
I guess the egg yolks, oil, and vinegar, in mayonnaise work together to remove water stains. I’m going to try it again and let it set for its 12-hour timeframe… hoping Merida doesn’t lick it all off before morning. 🙂
I’ll share the verdict soon!
Now you know: Sir Ben Kingsley was born Krishna Bhanji but changed his name and noticed an immediate uptick in job offers, from “We don’t quite know how to place you” to “When can you start?”
