Someone got in my car with commercial floor was on his hand and foot. It's on the inside handle and carpet. How can I remove this without damage?
Is there a homemade recipe to clean larger silver items even brass items. Any suggestions beside store bought stuff?
By "store bought stuff" we assume you mean chemicals. Brass can be cleaned using ketchup. Rub a small amount over brass using a soft rag and then wash and rinse the it.
For silver, line the bottom of non-aluminum dish with a sheet of aluminum foil. In the dish, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with a quart of hot water. Soak the silver item for a half hour (the time may vary depending on degree of tarnish). Buff with clean, dry cloth.
I got olive oil or butter dripped on Ultrasuede slipper and can't get it out. I used Dawn dish washing soap, spray oxy clean and laundry detergent rubbed in before putting them into the laundry. None of these worked. It was good to learn that they went through the washing machine very well.

Oil stains on suede need to be treated immediately, usually by a liberal application of baking soda or cornstarch to soak up the oil. At this point you can try moistening a cloth with vinegar and brushing it onto the spot. Do not allow the vinegar to soak the slipper. Apply with a light hand.
Hi. How long do your cleansers keep?I'd
Like to make them once or twice per month I'd possible, but not sure if the ingredients keep well. The all purpose hand cleaner looks like oit would work as a scrub for the tub? Would it t? Thanks so much
The shelf-life of homemade cleaners vary. Cleaners containing herbs will lose their effectiveness after a few weeks, so use those up quickly. If the cleaner contains lemon juice, it is best to use it up within a few days. If the acidic component is vinegar, it will last years. And always remember to carefully label homemade cleaners.

|I have pets but of course want a neat looking lawn without the weeds and without toxic weed killers! A great weed killer that is harmless to my pets is one that I heard of on a radio home improvement show. 1 gallon of vinegar, one cup of salt and dishwashing liquid. Heat the vinegar slightly and add the cup of salt and 8 drops of dishwashing liquid. Stir till it is well mixed then pour into spray bottles. Will get rid of pretty well any weed, but will also kill grass, so be careful if using it for spot treatment of weeds. Harmless to my pets, so I use it whenever I need it.
