Crayons!
Did your little darling color outside the lines, and all over your tile floor? It's not necessarily easy, but it is effective. All you really need is a dry soft cloth or paper towel and a heavy duty application of elbow grease. Wax can just be buffed off the floor, but do not scrape or scratch. If you do, you will damage the finish and let dirt get in beneath it.

Red Wine Spills!
Red wine and grape juice spills can be a home-owner's horror when it comes to your carpet or upholstery. Your best bet is to get to it before it dries and sets into a stain. As soon as it happens, grab a soft, absorbent cloth and start blotting. DO NOT RUB or SCRUB. This is vital; it will just work the stain into the fibers. Put the cloth over the stain and press down firmly to absorb as much of the wine as possible. Turn to a clean section of the cloth and repeat until none of the wine remains.

What if the stain has set? Mix up a solution of two parts hydrogen peroxide and one part blue dishwashing liquid, apply to the stain and let sit, and then blot it up as described above.
