Question: Candle Wax on Brick. I recently had wax candles sitting on the brick hearth of my fireplace. The candle wax melted all over the bricks and I have been unable to find a complete process of removing the wax and the stains. I did contact a local brick company and they highly recommended not to use any type of heat because it would set the stain even deeper into the brick. They also recommended a product from Prosoco called Sure Klean Fast Acting Stripper, however, after reading all the information about it, it seems highly toxic and highly flammable. Any Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marina Luvagoodmartini@aol.com 25/05/2005 (Ref:1153)
Question: Limescale in my Toilet I have a really really bad build up of limescale underneath the rim of my toilet, even though the bowl itself is clean. Could you please tell me what I can use to get rid of it. I have tried everything that you can buy in the supermarket that say they will get rid of limescale but I'm wondering if there is an old fashioned remedy that will do the trick. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much Rachelle Rache11e0@aol.com 25/05/2005(Ref:1141)

Question: UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supply. Thank-you for the advice on your webpages (www.hints-n-tips.com/ups.htm) regards building a ups for home use they are very informative. Can I please ask you a question? Can I run fluorescent lights on a UPS. I have heard from a number of people that this is not recommended. Thanking you in advance Mr David Hart UK Manchester techlnical1@ukcopyprint.com 30 May 2005 (Ref:1137)
Answer: UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) Circuits and a Pure Fluorescent Load
The question has been asked by one of your readers whether a UPS can support a pure fluorescent lamp load. The answer is yes and no. It depends on the circuitry of your UPS. As most of them are rather inexpensive and every corner has been cut, then on smaller units it is safe to assume the "ballast" load has been removed. On larger units a 15 to 75 Watt Hour ballast is often considered insignificant. In either case plug two 7.5 watt incandescent night lights into the circuit. This is usually enough to give the UPS the impression it is supporting a traditional resistive load of motors, incandescent lights and power transformers. This is not the traditional solution but it will approximate that preferred solution sufficiently that you may consider 15 watts of incandescent load for every 1000 Watts of fluorescent load... But don't try to run an entire building on this formula. I'd say 5 kW is the maximum practical with this scheme.
The problem: How fluorescent loads initiate when power is applied. There is no point in going into all the gory details but a pure fluorescent load, that being several different kinds of fluorescent fixtures or all being of the same kind, send noise and Back EMF. These signals sent from the ballasts, starters and the lamps as they initiate can confuse the UPS circuits giving the impression that there is an infinite load. This can result in either a breaker flipping the load out of circuit or blowing a fuse accomplishing the same result. The latter is the most likely. On certain very inexpensive UPS units, the circuitry of the UPS will simply give up the ghost. The resistive loads will take the power from the UPS and also take the power from the noise and Back EMF from the fluorescent lamps thus stabilizing the load on the UPS.

I am trying to get ballpoint pen ink stain out of two polyester soccer jerseys that belong to my son. I have used hair spray, Chlorex for coloured clothing, and oxi clean. Most of the ink is out.

Answer: Ball Point Pen Removal
Try using aerosol hair spray applied directly to the stain. ( I usually isolate the stain with an old cloth) spray it, leave it overnite and launder as normal. Good Luck! The cheaper the hairspray the better. jlangelaan1@cogeco.ca 21/07/2005Question: Coloured Printer Ink Removal I can't get printer colored ink off my hands can you help?
