Question: White Sugar Storage: I have an ongoing problem with white sugar solidifying and clumping in my ceramic sugar container. Is there something I could put in, with the sugar, to prevent it clumping together?? Thanks so much.......Lynda "Lynda Lister" braveheart52@sympatico.ca Lynda Joyce ICQ#: 163376328 2 Dec 2002
Answer: Sugar-Storage On the white sugar problem, use air tight containers for storage. I use Rubbermaid clear so I can see when I need to buy more. And for brown sugar also use the air tight container and I put a piece of bread in to keep it soft. The bread will get hard and can be used for months. Hope that helps.

Question: Wood stain on Berber carpet Any ideas? Elmo Xo01 dcrac1@hotmail.com 5 Nov 2002 (Ref:0869)
Answer: Stained carpet I have successfully used Oxi-Clean to do this. You first must do a colorfast test on the carpet. REMEMBER that it continues to bleach for up to two days after using the product. If you over do it, you may end up with a big bleach spot. It is best to apply it in several applications.

Question: Carpet Creep My wife and I have an area rug in our living room that sit on top of a wall to wall Berbers rug. Every time we walk past it the carpet bunches up in one corner. Is there a way to keep this from happening? We've tried 2 sided carpet tape but to no avail. -- Steven James Lay Executive Chef The Pines Restaurant chef1973@telus.net 12 Dec 2002 (Ref:0886)Answer: Regarding Your Area Rug Issue... Hello! You said that your area rug bunches up when you walk past it and that the two-sided carpet tape wasn't cutting it... What my aunt used to do was use two-sided carpet tape to stick the area rug into place, then lightly baste the carpet and area rug together with thin fishing line so no one could see the stitches. I don't know how you are at sewing... I hope that helps! -- l.r.nospamsmith@verinspzon.com 27/09/2005

Question: bleach Yea, I know this was dumb of me, I used some bleach to get a red stain out of the carpet, and now it is just orange. I don't think that using more bleach will make it better. Any suggestions? -- Cassandra Drew flipster23@earthlink.net 26 Dec 2002 (Ref:0890)
Answer: Regarding your Bleach Stain I know it's been a while since you posted your question about the bleach stain on your carpet... Since you posted you might have recarpeted or something! If you haven't and the stain is still there, find a matching shade of sugar-free Kool-Aid. Mix the Kool-Aid with about 1 cup of water, and "spill" it on your carpet where you need it... Trust me, that stuff WILL stain everything! :o) After it's sat for about an hour, you'll want to soak up the moisture with a rag towel and vacuum thoroughly. Have a good one! -- l.r.nospamsmith@verinspzon.com 27/09/2005
