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

Silly putty We have silly putty on light color berber carpet, it is right in a door way, so I hate to experiment & maybe leave a bigger stain. It had been there quite some time before we discovered it--that may make it harder to come up?? Thanks. Please don't use my e-address on the web. Thanks again.

Answer: We are not absolutely sure what will work but you could try applying ice or dry ice and breaking up the material ( the common solution for chewing gum) You would probably have to do it PDQ or the bits will soften and fall back in to the carpet. You could also experiment with cooking oil, white spirit or WD40 -- Fiona McIlroy Please let us know if it works
Answer#2: In regard to removing the silly putty from my carpet - I tried the ice cube - nothing happened. I have some GOO GONE , it says not to apply directly to carpet, so I placed some on a cloth & blotted the silly putty -- I worked! Took a little effort but can't tell where it was! Thanks for your help anyway -- J. Hammond

Answer: Cous Cous: It seems that a French company has produced big machines to make the fake stuff and we have been gullible enough to fall for it. If you find a source of millet in the Bay Area please let me know. Reply to qznaz

Question: Attaching the Rear View Mirror Hi I would appreciate any suggestion: My rear view mirror fell from the windshield six months ago. I've followed the direction and have used the two products I've found to glue the tab back on. Once a windshield glass company glued it back. It fell off three months later. Likewise a mechanic glued it on. It fell off the next day. What's going on? Thank you. Yours truly, Frank Belsky -- fjb49@usadatanet.net (Ref:0455)
