Question: Hairspray. I clean for a Beauty Salon and there is a sticky residue on the Vinyl chairs the hair dresser uses to fix peoples hair. I've tried several cleaners and nothing works. Does anybody have any Ideas? Thanks. -- Kathi Conrad kconrad@daviscomp.com (Ref:0628)
Answer: Sticky residue on chairs at hair salon You might not be able to remove this "residue" as it could be the actual plastic finish has decomposed and there is nothing left to clean. BUT here is something that might work if the vinyl finish on the chair is still intact. Try using a product called "Goof-Off" available at Walmart or Home Depot or any hardware store. Use it GENTLY. -- robglory@mts.net 04/01/2005

Question: Perfume atomizer Does anyone know how to remove old perfume (liquid and odor) from a glass atomizer? -- "Snyder, Mary Ann" MaryAnn.Snyder@us.gambro.com (Ref:0625)
Answer: Removing Perfume Odour from Atomizer Have you tried filling it with baking soda and water (use lots of baking soda) and letting it sit. You can even use dry baking soda in it and leave it for a few days and then repeat. This usually removes the odour. 04/01/2005 (Ref:1056)
Answer: Perfum Atomizer. A long time ago I read to use alcohol--put it in the bottle and use the atomizer. Good luck --Fran Bornosghere Dec 13 2006

Question: What is a GUID?
and how can I stop spammers and spyware
companies from sharing information about me -- Lorenzo O'Neil Lonzonospam115@aol.com 17th

Answer: What is a GUID?. I came across this definition the other day: Many advertisers and marketers assign each person A global unique identifier to track, monitor and gather unique information on the user. When a person downloads and installs freeware or shareware programs that are Ad supported they are assigned a GUID and this information is then supplied to the Adware firm or firms that sponsor freeware/shareware developer financially. In many cases users are unaware that 3rd party software is also being installed or that any information will be gathered about them and possibly sold.

Question: How to remove odor from old musty leather handbags I have old leather handbags in great condition, but they have this awful, musty, smell that irritates the sinuses/allergies. I can't use them until I remove the smell. How do I get rid of the odor, if at all possible? -- Bicenten76@aol.com 22 Nov 2002 (Ref:0863)
Answer: Musty Leather
Leather Goods
To remove mildew from leather goods, wipe them with a cloth moistened with dilute alcohol (one cup denatured or rubbing alcohol to one cup water). If mildew remains, wash with thick suds made from a mild soap or detergent, saddle soap, or a soap containing germicide or fungicide, then wipe with a damp cloth and dry in an airy place. Polish leather shoes and luggage with a good wax dressing.
Shoes contaminated with fungus growth on the inside often develop unpleasant
odors. You can remove this kind of mildew with low-pressure sprays specially intended for freshening shoes; these sprays are available at shoe and department stores. Use these products as directed.

Question: Dying Bleach Stains How can you cover up the bleach "stains" on clothing? A friend has 2 sweaters, and a sweatshirt that have been damaged by bleach. They are small but noticeable spots. 2 are blue and the other is red. They are not solid colored items, so I need to know how to "spot" dye. Thank You. dmpturnr@nemontel.net (Donna Turner) (Ref:0450)
Answer Bleach Stains. I got yellow stains on my white canvas tennis shoes by trying to bleach them to remove dirt. I was able to remove the yellow bleach stains by soaking the shoes in a solution of 1/2 cup cream of tartar (I bought it from a store that sells bulk spices) and 1 quart of hot (almost boiling) water. The tip I read said to soak for 30 minutes, but it took 1-1/2 hours for my shoes. --TD Pitts 10/07/2004 Note this will probably only work for white items with yellow stains caused by chlorine bleach. - Ed
