Question: To remove water marks from stainless steel sink, I clean as normal then polish it with furniture polish. I've heard baby oil works but it's a lot more greasy (so you see smears) and the polish smells nice. If this doesn't work (as I have cleaned some people's sinks where that didn't,) CLR works well. -- shastacanastais@yahoo.com (Gayle Christianson) (Ref:0460)

Question: 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:0462)

Question:
Iron Burn. I had the iron on too hot and burnt the fabric of my top. The fabric is 100% Nylon. I now have a shiny iron imprint on my top - it is not a really dark burn mark though. Can you suggest a way I might be able to remove or fade the burn??

Question:
Burn mark how can i remove a burnt mark on a blouse -- trish22lax@hotmail.com 5 Nov 2003 (Ref:0945)
Answer: Burn Mark: I'm known as someone who can fix anything, but, there are limits. If some spot is unfixable, I use iron on patches. Cut the burnt place out, cut a patch from someplace & put the patch around the patch & Viola! it's gone. Depends on the place, of course, the fabric. Can you sew it into a dart or a seam? Can you put a decorative patch on the area? See it as a challenge. Can the area be cut off & made into a shorter garment, or have shorter sleeves. Hope this gives you some imaginative ideas. b -- bobbi koch bobbinospam41@comnspcast.net Apr 21 2006
Answer: Burn Stains. Light burn marks can be removed by placing a dampened cloth with vinegar over the stain. Iron with hottest setting possible for the fabric. For white cotton, cover the stain with a dampened cloth of a water/peroxide solution and press a hot iron over the cloth. -- Clara' saxnosppon@fronspntiernet.net

Question:
Linoleum stains. My Linoleum has discoloured around our
refrigerator so that it has a yellowy tinge to it. It looks AWFUL and the options I've tried
(Clorox with bleach, rubbing alcohol, Zap etc) haven't made a
difference.
Can anyone help? I'm getting desperate. -- Karlene@TheRobinsons.gen.nz (Ref:0466)
Question:
Mould. We have discovered mould on the inside of one of our bedroom windows and are unsure how to go about removing it successfully. We are renting a property and have had to cut out cardboard templates to fit into the windows in the kids rooms to block out excessive light, as the cloth roller blinds installed are not very effective. We have noticed moisture build-up on the windows in the past, and are unsure if this is caused by the cardboard templates.
I would also like to know as well if anyone has any suggestions as to what we can do with the existing blinds to darken them in some way so that we do not have to use the cardboard templates.
Thank you very much. --

Question:
Parasites. I recently heard wd40 will eliminate fleas (and
ticks?) from my dog if I spray a small amount on the back of the neck. Is this true or could this harm
my pet? -- blkennedy@alltel.net (Ref:0468)
Question:
Rubber on carpet. I recently had my foot on a space heater not thinking it was hot enough to cause a problem.
Unfortunately, the rubber on the sole of my shoe melted and when I stepped on the carpet the melted rubber stuck to the carpet. The melted rubber seems to have slightly
penetrated the carpeting. Any ideas??
