My sisters and I used to mix potions and test them out. Usually water, shampoo, toothpaste, other house cleaners we could reach.

First, they’d have me taste it. If it tasted bad, then it was probably a magical cleaning potion.

Then, we’d test it in the bathroom. If it didn’t instantly clean up some random dirt or whatever, then it was probably a powerful stain remover!

Finally, we’d pour it on the carpet. It would often bleach the carpet and we’d call it a success. If it didn’t, then the potion was a dud.
