Well, I am not Norwegian, but I am Danish (neighbouring country and we are quite alike) so I feel safe to say that the customs in Norway are pretty much the same as the rest of the western world. Kithen-stuff, bedlinen etc.
How do you remove orange colored stains of unknown origin possibly rust from white bedlinen when bleach doesn't work?
You can remove orange colored stains of unknown origin, possible rust, from white bed linen when bleach doesn't work by first pre-treating the stain with a good stain remover. Allow the stain remover to work for several minutes before washing the bed linen on a 90 degree cycle.
Will bedbugs return if you buy a new bed and new sheets?
Yes because unfortunately it is unlikely if you have had bedbugs previously in your home that you will get rid of the problem completely just by buying a new bed and throwing out the old one. Because in many cases bedbugs will have already created their hiding place and laid their eggs somewhere other than in the bed or mattress, such as in nearby furniture, or in the carpet or in crevices in the walls or floor nearby. Eggs laid nearby when the old bed was there may well hatch and new bedbug nymphs will be born after the new bed has been installed so that simply will not solve the problem. Also unfortunately bedbugs do not seem to be particular about human cleanliness. The sad fact is they seem to equally like feeding off people who are spotlessly clean with nice new sheets as off people who are smelly, do not wash very often and do not change their bedlinen for weeks at a time and bedbug infestations occur in the cleanest of homes as well as the filthiest.
How is terry cot used?
Terrycloth, terry cloth, terry towelling, terry, or simply towelling is a fabric with loops that can absorb large amounts of water. It can be manufactured by weaving or knitting.Towelling is woven on special looms that have two beams of longitudinal warp through which the filler or weft is fired laterally.[1][2]There are two types of terry fabrics:Towell Terry is a [woven] fabric with long loops that can absorb large amounts of water. Its content is usually 100% cotton, but may sometimes contain polyester.French Terry is a fabric, used in men's, women's and children's clothes. One of its sides is flat, while the other side is with cross loops. It is either 100% cotton or contains polyester with elastaine (Lycra). It is often warp knitted, and the term French Terry is colloquially used for all warp knitted Terry.It is the length of loops that determines how much fluid is absorbed by the cloth as longer loops provide more surface area to absorb and come in contact with the fluid.Items that may be made from terrycloth include babies' nappies (UK English) or reusable diapers (US English), towels, bathrobes, bedlinen, and sweatbands for the wrist or head. Terrycloth is also sometimes used to make sweat jackets. Terry toweling hats with a shallow brim were once popular with cricketers (like English wicketkeeper Jack Russell) but are no longer in fashion.An alternative fabric used for towels is waffle fabric. A modern synthetic alternative is microfiber.
What is the properties of the poly cotton fabrics?
Cotton-poly fabric is made combining strands of cotton and polyester. This blend is usually quite comfortable because it combines the natural effects of cotton for softness and moisture absorption with the no-iron crispness of polyester. Usually, whichever fiber content is listed first is the dominant fiber, meaning in a cotton poly mixture that is 51% cotton and 49% polyester cotton would be listed first. A standard everyday poly cotton mix is 65% Polyester 35% cotton, normally the contruction of standard bedsheets, bedlinen etc
How do you keep bedbugs out of your apt when another unit has them in multi-unit building?
It depends on how close to your apartment the bedbug infested apartment is. The most obvious precaution is under no circumstances buy or borrow anything from that apartment. In particular whatever you do, do NOT buy or borrow any furniture any bedlinen or any mattresses. If you do you will almost certainly get a bedbug problem as there will almost certainly be unhatched bedbug eggs in such items. Similarly do not let anyone living in the infested apartment or anybody that has visited it, such as the landlord come into your apartment after being in there, because it is possible he or she will carry bedbug eggs or even one or more live bedbugs in his clothes or shoes or some such item with him. If it is very close another danger to you is that bedbugs find hosts by human breath emitted by some person when asleep. So if a nearby apartment has an infestation do not leave any windows or doors open facing there when somebody is asleep anywhere in your apartment Bedbugs can detect human breath of anybody asleep as far away as 50 metres and once they detect it, if where they are is already over crowded with other bedbugs, they might try to move to somewhere else, like your apartment after being enticed by the sleeper's breath of anybody in bed in your apartment. It makes no difference if the breath if from a man or woman, adult or child, all are equally enticing to an adult bedbug or bedbug nymph wanting food.
How do you sanitize your home for heart transplant patient?
It is the first few weeks (typically the first twelve) directly post-transplant in which hygiene really matter, since this is also when levels of immunosuppression which the patient has to consume will be at their highest. These weeks are when they are most vulnerable. To help prevent infections, it really does help to keep their recovery environment clean and sanitized, for example:-Keeping antibacterial handwashes in all bathrooms (try to get everyone who lives in the same environment to use them, not just the patient). "Hand hygiene" is crucial, e.g washing your hands before cooking.- Wash bedlinen, towels and other laundry on the highest temperatures they can tolerate. (I appreciate this isn't eco-friendly, but being safe and healthy seems far more important).- If you have household pets (e.g cats or dogs), it would be best to keep them away from the transplanted person for a few weeks immediately post transplant. (This is particularly true of cats, which can pick up things outdoors). If the patient is desperate to see their pets, it is beneficial to wash the pet first. Also, hand washing after petting is essential (for both the patient and the others in the household, especially before cooking/eating). Similarly, immunosuppressed patients are advised not to be the ones who clean up after their pets, due to various risks associated with handling pet waste.- Using a dishwasher is useful, since it guarantees that the wash is hot enough and thorough enough to kill off germs. However this may not be an option for everyone. The alternative (which I personally use whilst at university, as a liver transplant recipient) is to spray Dettol Surface Cleanser over your dishes after they have been handwashed.-Similarly, if you choose to handle raw meats, especially on chopping boards etc... in the kitchen, it is best if the work surfaces which you used are thoroughly and immediately disinfected afterwards. (E.g some sort of anti-bac surface cleanser over everything, plus the addition of a kettle full of boiling water over all utensils used, before putting in the dishwasher/handwashing again). If you choose to wash up the chopping boards by hand, throw the cloth away afterwards (then anti-bac spray the sink and taps, then wash your hands).- Make sure the patient's toothbrushes are changed frequently, especially after colds /mouth ulcers/ vomiting bugs etc... Same goes for mouthwashes in which the liquid is drunk out of the cap/lid. (Also, immunosuppressed people are advised never to share drinks ... which means you should not share their mouthwash, toothbrush etc...)- If one of the household members, other than the patient, catches something potentially contagious, make every effort to keep the two people separate.When preparing their bedroom, particularly if they're just coming home, firstly check they can walk up-stairs (if applicable). Take out any large items from the room which are not of immediate use, if necessary. Then make every effort to keep the floor clear (incase they're a little wobbly), give the room a thorough vacuum, and see if a comfy chair can be accommodated in the room somewhere. Add clean bedding to the bed. Anti-bac spray all surfaces in the room (e.g windowsill, desk, chest of draws, bedside table, door handles, light switches etc...) (Ban pets from going into this room if you have indoor pets). Then you should be sorted.The rule-of-thumb really is "anti-bac spray everything"; after a while it becomes second nature.
How do you know if you have bedbugs?
Here's the rundown:AppearanceAdult bed bugs area approximately 3/16 inch long and reddish-brown in color. They are generally flat with an oval shape. Although once fed, they become plump and red. HabitsThey generally hide during the day, coming out at night to feed on their hosts, such as humans, birds, and family pets. Feeding only takes about 10 minutes and is usually unnoticed by the host. Afterwards, the bite may become inflamed and itch, but many people never react. If no food source is available, this pest can lay waiting for 500 or more days. DietBed bugs feed mostly on human blood, but they will also feed on the blood of poultry, mice, rats, canaries, dogs and cats when necessary. ReproductionFemales typically lay 1 to 5 eggs per day, and 200 - 500 in their lifetime. The eggs hatch in approximately 7 days and reach adulthood in about 21 days. The following are some basic suggestions of things to do or look for to help determine if there are bed bugs in your home.Bites - One of the most common reasons people suspect bed bug infestations are the appearance of bug bites. Bed bugs will usually feed while people are sleeping, so check over your body in the mornings for any small red bites, or unexplainable marks. **Note that not all individuals will have a reaction to bed bug bites, some can go on being bitten for months and never know.Waste - Bed bugs generally leave behind a sufficient amount of waste. Things to look for include dark spots on your mattress or box spring, skin castings and of course dead bugs.Traps - There are numerous passive bed bug monitors and traps available on the market. Two of these that are carried by our store, ProFlyControl (available here) are ClimbUp Interceptors, and BDS's. Both of these items will trap bed bugs attempting to get onto or off of furniture, and will allow them to be identified. You can also make a somewhat effective trap by using double-sided tape (try carpet tape).Hunting - Bed bugs are known to be most active around dawn. If you are searching for live bugs, this is the best time to look. An untrained eye is much more likely to find bugs at this time of day, with the assistance of a flashlight.Know Where To Look - Bed bugs are excellent at hiding, so when attempting a game of bed bug hide-and-seek, you must know their favorite spots. The smaller the space, the better, be sure to search seams, folds, creases in all furniture in the room. Bed bugs are small and can hide in some very unlikely places.
