Water Stains Be Gone

Water stains can be a pest to get rid of, but there's a trusty little secret to cleaning up the mess. Before simply painting over the stain, make a mixture of one cup bleach to three cups of warm water and apply it to the stained area. This will help clear up the stain and get rid of any remaining mildew or dirt left behind. Then paint over it once it's dry and you're all set!
