Question: Labels. Any tips on how to remove New Shower Labels from Fiberglas showers without damaging the finish? Thanks so much for your help? --
Answer: There are special preparations for removing labels. I usually use white spirit which is cheaper and in my house quite plentiful. Test for damage to the surface in an inconspicuous place on the shower. -- www.qznaz.com. xyz
Question: Request information. I recently bought a house and I'm trying to remove some kind of adhesive off the outside edge of the tub in the bathroom, some of it is hard and some still has a rubbery texture to it, any advice or tips on how to remove it easily without scraping for hours & hours and of course I want to preserve the tub. Please let me know, I need help -- tparks@qcnet.net Thanks, Teresa

Answer: Removing Sticky Residue from Tub. I have the ideal solution. Someone sent me an e mail about WD-40 and what all it can do. I tried on a sticky label that I couldn't get off and it worked. Judy Jackson -- jjackson31846. May 19 2006@carolina.rr.com
Question: Aphid & Insecticide Soap. I hope that maybe someone out there may have the "formula" for insecticide soap. I've got an outbreak of aphids and need help. -- Sandi Sandi Larson Answer: Try this, it's worked for me. Boil a whole bulb of cut up garlic until its soft. Put it into a gallon of water and add 1 tablespoon of biodegradable Detergent. Let it sit for a day, then strain and spray. Also, planting parsley around your roses will help keep aphids away -- Anon

Question: Moths. I have these little moth like insects that are living in my kitchen. They were in the house when I moved in. They mostly stay in the kitchen area. They measure about 3/4 inch in length and have a similar wingspan. As it has warmed up outdoors, I am seeing more of these. I have placed cedar blocks in the cabinets, and I kill as many as I see. Any idea how to get rid of these? -- Stephen Greene GreeneStephen1@email.msn.com
Answer :Re: Moths in the Kitchen : Dear Stephen, Once many years ago I had the same problem of tiny beige moths flying around the kitchen. In desperation I took everything out of the cupboards and found that the moths were coming from an old box of cornstarch where they were hatching out. In the trash, problem solved. Hope you find the source. -- Teresa West twestv@gmail.com Mar 12 2006
