Answer: Hi Nancy saw your query on QZNAZ.COM I am afraid it is bad news as almost every solution will bleach the leather. If you can get a piece of the leather to experiment on or if you can use a part of the couch that nobody sees then you could try methyl alcohol or sodium percarbonate applied with a cotton bud or an even finer pointed applicator. if it bleaches then you could use a felt tip pen of exactly the right color to restore the leather color. The alternative is a leather specialist or stain expert! Regards Axel P. Klystron axlegrease@nspnospam.com
Question: Sticky Residue I found that this works well for me. To remove sticky marks from labels etc, use a small amount of lemon essence (the type used as a flavouring in cooking) on a cloth to remove the mark. Removes the sticky mark and leaves a nice lemony smell too Cheerio -- Megan Scott granvu@nspaustarnet.com.au Jul 2002 (Ref:0777)

Question: Blackfly Hello! I have some very nasty small black flies in my garden. they are wiping out my veggie patch, herbs, and even indoor plants. they are quite miniscule - about a quarter of the size of a match head, they run around on the soil and around the drainage holes in pots, and they slowly demolish the leaves somehow (maybe eggs?) while the plants get really sick and eventually die. (sniff sniff) As I have an organic garden I need a natural recipe - and could you please tell me what these beasts are? Many thanks for your help Krysten -- Krysten Leopardi krysten@nspaijv.com.au 16 Jul 2002 (Ref:0243)
