    Fast and Easy Way to Clean up Tee Pee

    We used to get Tee Peed a lot when I was in high school.

    It's not because I was popular.

    Fast and Easy Way to Clean Up Tee Pee

    It was all about the sheer number of trees we had in our front yard and the total lack of street lights. We were a perfect target.

    The first time we were tee peed, it took me nearly a week to get it all cleaned up.

    The second time, it rained on day 2, and we looked tee peed for months.

    The third time, I was fed up. Sick and tired of spending my entire weekend trying to pull toilet paper out of a tree. So I got smart (or really stupid).

    How to Clean up Tee Pee My Life and Kids Set it on Fire

    I took a box of matches, and lit the bottom of each piece of toilet paper. It was magic.

    The flames shot up the toilet paper and died out before catching the tree on fire. And the ashes were very small, and didn't even need to be cleaned up.

    From then on, I didn't mind being tee peed all the time, because it only took me an hour to set everything on fire.

    So the next time you get tee peed, grab your matches, and set that toilet paper on fire. It works - for real.

    That said, you do this at your own risk. I will not be held responsible if you set yourself, your house, your yard, your trees or anything else on fire. Seriously not my fault.

      This is hilarious, I can't believe you actually attempted to set it on fire in the first place. I'm glad it worked and that you didn't set the whole yard on fire!

      My husband swears this is the best way to clean up the mess.

      I've never asked him how he knows that. Hmmm….

      No. Way! You are a WEALTH of information, Anna! I'm going to have to test this out somewhere fireproof before I need to use this tip in a few years. Love it!

      I know someone who's house caught on fire when they did this, so be careful out there! We've learned that you can shoot it down with a hose. It works pretty well. We did have some rolls that got stuck up really high and didn't come down right away. Then one night a few months later, I was walking by the window and saw this glorious swag and thought we had been hit again. It was just one of those rolls that came loose and draped down the tree. It was pretty funny.

      OMG - that's brilliant and SO ANNOYING. I can't stand the whole tee-peeing phenomenon.

      That's actually a really good idea. Dangerous, but still, I bet it works. 🙂
