Fish Bowl Rocks


Posted Sunday April 6 2008, 4:49 pm

Any tips for getting rid of that fishy smell that seems to stay on them FOREVER?

I've tried cleaning the rocks in a colander with some soap and hot water, but the smell is still there. I hate that whenever I change my fish's water, I can clean those rocks over and over, but they still smell!

HELP!

Cleaning Suede Shoes


Posted Tuesday April 1 2008, 7:39 pm

I have these suede shoes. I have noticed that if they get wet with like snow or rain they dry and are ok, but like if something gooey falls on them they get messed up. They are starting to get dingy and I would like to clean them cause I just bought them. Is there a way to clean them without having to take them to the dry cleaner? Like can I wash them by hand or will they get ruined? Can you tell me the steps to washing them, toothbrush, cloth, soap, only water, what temperature... all that. Thank you so much! Peace

Sand stain - not coming out of pants


Posted Friday January 11 2008, 2:27 pm

As part of a New Year's Eve tradition (Brazil) - jumped in the sea with white pants. Bottom cuffs of pants loaded with sand stains. I figured, no big deal, it'll come off. I've gotten grease off of white pants.

I've since

- been to the cleaners
- used regular bleach
- used a bleach pen
- used a solvent remover (MISTY)
- used oxidizing powder

I can't make a dent in this stuff! It's just sand. I mean, it doesn't even seem to lighten. Any clues?

Sick of going it alone!


Posted Thursday December 20 2007, 4:09 pm

I live with my fiancee (we're both students), and I'm sick of always coming home to a mess. Laundry hasn't been done in 3 weeks and our bedroom is a mess!

My program is incredibly demanding. I have over 30 hours of class a week plus a ridiculous amount of homework. He is taking two classes, for a total of 9 hours a week. All he does is stay at home playing video games, but he expects me to do at least half, if not most or all of the cooking and cleaning. He's never actually come out and said it, but it's what keeps happening. I can't just leave stuff, because he'll wear the same clothes for a week without thinking twice about it.

I've tried talking to him about it, and he always intends to help, but video...

Rubber Cement in Carpet?


Posted Sunday December 9 2007, 10:27 pm

Hi, I accidentally spilled like an entire bottle of rubber cement on my beige carpet. I didn't realize it at the time, and it's dried now. There's no stain, but the carpet is... crispy? I'm not sure what to do- should I blot with water? I just don't want to mess up the carpet in an effort to make it better- my mother would have a conniption fit. Thank you all!

Bug problems!!!


Posted Sunday October 21 2007, 11:13 pm

Please Help! I'm terrified of bugs and roaches and my bedroom is in the very back, windowless part of my basement!

I live in Georgia and get centipedes and roaches. What type of repellants would you recommend? Preferably something that does not use chemicals, because like I said, it is my bedroom.

I would also like to buy one of those plug-in electronic pest control repellants. What type would you recommend I buy for centipedes and roaches?

There are flies EVERYWHERE!


Posted Sunday October 21 2007, 4:40 pm

Like everywhere in my house there are flies. My house is not dirty or unclean, and the only reason that I can think of that they flock around my house is that it's getting cold outside. They are really wearing on my last nerve, and I'm tired of swatting at them whenever I just want to take a nap, surf the Web, or make dinner. How do I make them go away??
