How do you clean armpit stains on white shirts?

Many people perspire heavily (body chemistry) or when stressed. STAY AWAY FROM SYNTHETIC SHIRTS! BUY ONLY 100% COTTON OR AT LEAST A COTTON/SYNTHETIC BLEND. Synthetics don't let the body breath. You need to get to the problem to stop the staining. This is an American non-prescription under-arm roll-on called "Certain dri" to be used every other day and it works according to the chat boards. Make a paste out of Oxy-clean and smear a light paste on all areas in the armpit area of the shirt. Leave on for an hour or so and then wash as usual. We have a product in Canada called "Gal Friday" (don't know if you can get in the States) it's liquid and gets many stains out. It's sure saved on my dry-cleaning bill! There is also a product out called "Yellow Out" that DOES get stains out. Persperation reacts with minerals in the water, causing yellow or brownish stains on clothes. This is especially true of whites. Bleaching only makes the problems worse. To get these rust stains out I use a product full strength called Rust Stain Remover from Whink. You can see the stains (rust) dissolve before your eyes. Do not get this on your washing machine or sink, however, since it takes off the glaze. It is also expensive and does not work as well when diluted with water. For general rust caused by hard water I use "oxalic acid". The best and cheapest place to find this is in boating stores (call first). It is used to clean up teak wood on boats. Oxalic acid comes in powered form, but be aware that it is a poison so store it carefully. Every once in awhile I put a couple tablespoons in the empty washing machine and run it through a cycle. This cleans up all the "rust" that has built up in your washing machine. You will see the sides of the washer go from yellow to white. Then run a load of white "rusty" clothes through with another couple tablespoons. Let them soak a little. The oxalic acid also cleans up the inside of a yicky looking dishwasher and makes it look like new, but run it through an EMPTY dishwasher, since it is poison. Put some in the water storage comparment of a toilet and it will clean out all the mold and slime (but make sure your dogs do not drink from the toilet!!)

Will white vinegar remove under arm smell from clothes washed in cold water with detergent in the washing machine?

If you google vinegar and clothes (or even body odor) you will see many links on the subject. I use vinegar for several things - including removing body odor from under arms of clothes. Spray vinegar directly on the clothes under arms and let it dry (for potent smells). The next day -wash regularly. I have also rescued some suits that can only be dry cleaned with vinegar - spray it under the arms as well & let it dry out. The smell eventually dissipates. You can also toss 1 cup of vinegar in with a regular load of laundry to keep it fresh (use detergent too).

How do you replace VW Bug torsion bar system?

Your best bet would be to purchase a Haynes manual. Remember... safety first! Jist: disconnect brake lines,remove hub cap , loosen lug nuts, remove cotter pin and 36 mm, jack up car and secure on jack stands, remove wheel, remove drum brake, remove emergency brake cable, remove the clip holding brakeline and disconnect brakeline from the trailing arm. remove lower shock mount, notch the trailing arm and spring bar to ease realignment, remove driveshaft. remove 17 mm Allen nut on trailing arm and the three bolts holding trailing arm to torsion arm... remove trailing arm. Put a jack under the torsion arm and jack it up until the arm lifts slightly off of the stops. Remove the four bolts and the torsion plate, remove the outter bushing. IMPORTANT: (do at your own risk) do not get any part of your body underneath the torsion bar while in this position... you could get hurt. With a prybar, pry the torsion arm past the stops and slowly lower your jack. Once the torsion arm is under no stress, use an angle finder to find the angle (will help with reassembly). Remove the torsion arm and inner bushing. Remove the torsion bar. Assemble... in reverse probably... haven't done it yet. Hope this helps.


How do you remove the windshield wipers from a 2002 Mitsubishi?

There is either a nut under a cap on the arm that is holding it on, or a lock lever that you need to pull or push on under the arm, or it is just stuck, and you might need to spray it with something to loosen it from being rusted.
