Cleaning

1. Rubbing a balloon against hair to create static electricity.
2. Walking across a carpet and then receiving a shock when touching a metal doorknob.
3. Lightning during a thunderstorm is also an example of static electricity discharge.

Put dog outside where they belong and buy a new couch, because urine has ammonia in it and the smell will never go away only fade.

Well actually....you can use 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water. Vinegar will remove the enzymes that make the urine smell, oh that would be the ammonia, and the smell will go. You will need to keep the dog away from the couch until it is clean and dry though, and then make sure it does not happen again.

This type of solvent would fall under the category of "cleaning solutions" or "household chemicals." Aqueous cleaning solvents are typically water-based and used for cleaning various surfaces and materials.

There are few ingredients in OxyClean. As the name would suggest , there is hydrogen peroxide, the second main ingredient is sodium percarbonate.

A pumice stone is commonly used for cleaning and exfoliating skin. It is a natural volcanic rock that has a rough texture which helps to remove dead skin cells and calluses.

Washing white Vans shoes in bleach may cause the color to fade and the material to weaken. It could damage the shoe and cause discoloration or yellowing. It's best to use a gentle cleaner specifically designed for shoes to prevent any damage.

Acids dissolve mineral deposits by reacting with the minerals in the deposits to form water-soluble compounds. The acid breaks down the bonds holding the minerals together, allowing them to dissolve in water and be easily washed away. Common acids used for this purpose include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and citric acid.

Stuff a rag in the shoe first to prevent runs to the inside. You could try hairspray or alcohol (NOT both together though!!) BUT either one will spread the ink as it removes it. So you should expect the area to double or triple as the ink gets lighter. You'd apply ONE of the two in a small amount, and gently wipe it into the canvas shoe. Apply a little more and repeat until the stain has completely lifted.

Make sure to remove the soiled rag and put in a clean white rag and allow the shoe to dry.

* Nurses often get ink blotches on white uniforms and they use alcohol wipes or liquid rubbing alcohol to break (spread) and then lift the ink stain.

Follow the instructions on the paint stripper product, typically 15-30 minutes. Always wear protective gear and work in a well-ventilated area when using paint stripper to remove Liquid Nail.

You can remove black scum from a bathtub by using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Sprinkle baking soda over the scum, then spray vinegar on top. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a sponge or brush and rinsing with water.

I used a Dremel with a small cloth polishing wheel and T-Cut. It took about half an hour to get rid of two stains 8 inches long. Set the Dremel on a low speed, keep the pressure light and don’t stay in one place too long.

Laundry detergent is not a hydrate. Hydrates are solid compounds that contain water molecules in their crystal structure. Laundry detergent is a mixture of different chemicals, typically in liquid or powder form, used for cleaning clothes.

To remove salt stains from slate tiles, mix a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the affected areas. Rinse with clean water and dry the tiles thoroughly to prevent future damage.

Applying a new stain on top of an old stain can result in uneven color distribution and adhesion issues. It's generally recommended to strip or sand the old stain off before applying a new one for better results.

No, this is dilute enough to sanitize it. Just make sure to wipe the surface off with a cloth which has the solution on it, but is thoroughly wrung out. Any excess moisture could damage it. You can also use pressurized air (in a can, available at office supply), to dust out the inside.

Baking soda, which is commonly found in households, can help to counteract hyperacidity by neutralizing stomach acid. Mixing a small amount of baking soda with water and drinking it can provide relief from acid reflux symptoms. However, it is important to use baking soda in moderation as excessive consumption can have harmful effects on health.

Rubbing a balloon on your hair to make it stick, or shuffling your feet on the carpet and receiving a shock when you touch a metal doorknob are examples of static electricity.

A common ratio to kill algae on your foundation is 1 part chlorine bleach to 4 parts water. Mix the solution thoroughly, apply it to the affected areas, and scrub with a brush if needed. Rinse the area well with water after the algae is gone. Be sure to wear protective gear when handling bleach.

You can try using rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on a cotton ball to gently dab and remove the permanent marker from the white binder. Test in a small inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the binder's surface. Alternatively, you can also use a whiteboard marker to draw over the permanent marker and then wipe it off with a dry cloth.

To remove human urine smell from leather shoes, you can try sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes and leaving it overnight to absorb the odor. Alternatively, wiping the shoes with a mixture of white vinegar and water can also help eliminate the smell. Make sure to air out the shoes afterwards to let them dry completely.

Mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water, then apply the mixture to the stain and let it sit for 15-30 minutes before laundering as usual. If the stain persists, repeat the process or try using a stain remover specifically designed for yellow stains.

A common recommendation for killing algae is to mix 1 part bleach with 9 parts water (1:9 ratio). This solution can be applied directly to the affected area to help eliminate the algae. Be cautious when handling bleach and follow safety guidelines.

DAB (3,3'-diaminobenzidine) is commonly used in immunoblotting as a substrate for the horseradish peroxidase enzyme. When HRP catalyzes the oxidation of DAB, a brown insoluble precipitate forms at the site where the enzyme is located, allowing visualization of the protein of interest on the membrane.

Scrape off as much as you can then paint it liberally with some gel paint remover such as ZipStrip(R). That will probably not completely remove it in one pass. Use a putty knife to remove what loosened up and repeat the application and the scraping or wire brushing.

Finish it off with muratic acid (1:1 with water). Work the acid around with a stiff poly-bristled brush and be sure to wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Give it a rinse with water afterwards. If that doesn't clean it to your satisfaction, you might consider sandblasting the area to finish it off.

Wax can be removed from surfaces using heat, such as a hairdryer or an iron with a paper towel or cloth. For fabric, place a paper towel on either side of the fabric and use a warm iron. You can also use a commercial wax remover or rubbing alcohol on hard surfaces.
