How do you clean water marks off a window?
If by "water marks" you mean the residue left from rain or splashing tap water, then white vinegar is your best bet.
Apply the white vinegar to the glass, then wipe off with balled-up newspaper.
The water marks are most probably "scale" or lime residue left when the water evaporated, and the white vinegar will dissolve the scale off the glass.

How do you get silicone off glass?
"Goo Gone"! I left some rubber strips, heavily covered in thick silicone, in the tub while I was doing some maintenance work. The strips had good time to cure themselves to the tub, I had left them there for 2 days. Obviously not thinking about the sticky mess it would make in the tub. I scraped off the top layer with a hard plastic silicone remover tool (not so great). It removed the thick top layer. I was left with a sticky mess that just wouldn't come off. I sprayed the tub with "Goo Gone", an orange based house hold cleaner. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and I was able to remove the sticky mess with nothing but a dry rag. No damage to the tub, metal or knife scratches, and hardly any muscle or effort. Great stuff, it's in the house hold cleaner isles.

Laundry is a daily task that must be completed regularly in all households. Still, a surprising number of people reach adulthood without a firm idea of how to properly and effectively complete this chore. Laundry is a task, luckily, that is easily learned and mastered with practice.
1. Separate the LaundryBefore laundry can be placed in the washing machine, it should be separated both by color and by washing requirements. Remove all clothing that should be dry cleaned and place it in a separate location to avoid accidentally laundering it by machine. Place the remaining laundry in three different piles. All whites should be sorted together, all light-colored garments should be grouped, and all dark garments should be sorted; when completed, you should have three piles.
2. Sort by Washing RequirementsSort through each color grouping, removing any articles of clothing that require hand washing or a delicate cycle. Place these in a separate grouping. Tip: Whites and light-colored clothing most often require special handling; dark clothing rarely will need to be washed on a delicate cycle.
3. Select Setting and Start LoadSelect the appropriate setting on the washing machine. Most loads can be run on a normal cycle length with warm water; whites are best washed on hot. Add the appropriate amount of soap to the washing machine drum as the machine begins to fill. Use more soap for heavily soiled loads and less soap for standard loads of laundry. Fill the detergent cup to at least the first line for every load.
4. Add ClothingAdd the clothing to the washing machine drum as the water begins to enter the machine. Do not overfill the machine or the clothing will not wash and rinse adequately. Fill loads more loosely if they contain heavy items such as towels and jeans.
5. Complete Wash CycleAllow the washing machine cycle to run its full course, including washing, rinsing and spinning. If possible, check the final rinse cycle. If bubbles are still present, it can help to run an additional rinse cycle until the water is completely clear.
6. Dry the ClothingMove the washed clothing from the washing machine to the dryer, if desired. Set the dryer to the appropriate setting based upon the type, weight and requirements of the washed load.
Tip: To conserve energy, you can hang the laundry to dry. You can also run one short dryer load to fluff the laundry and then complete the drying process by hanging the load to dry.What is the best way of removing chewing gum from clothes?

How do you clean cork flooring?
It really depends on what you are trying to clean from your cork flooring. For a more detailed answer, tailored to your specific needs, you can email me at rickydoesfloors@yahoo.com. Please include the specifics. If you don't want to do that, generally, use a mild soapy water, but don't get it too wet. Do not saturate and do not scrub real hard, you'll just ruin your floor much more than your bothersome stain. Be careful when using chemicals, especially if you don't know what the floor was installed with. More on this:
There are a number of products available which are meant to clean wood or hard surface flooring. BonaKemi (www.bonakemi.com) makes excellent cleaning products for flooring. The method of cleaning here would be to lightly mist the cleaner onto an area of your floor, then follow-up with a microfiber mop. With any wood floor (cork included) you must avoid using excessive amounts of moisture as this can ruin your floor. Lightly damp mopping after vacuuming about once a week will keep your floor in great shape. Make sure that you do not use the beater bar on a vacuum, but a regular bristle ended attachment will suffice. Another in home way to clean floors is by using a vinegar solution. You will want to mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar with 1 gallon of water. Then use the same method as other cleaners, lightly mist over small areas and follow up with a microfiber mop. This is a good solution if you run out of cleaner, but the quantity you need to make to ensure to solution is right and storage can be a pain - so I prefer to suggest Bona's products over this in-home mixture.
How do you clean melted plastic out of a self-cleaning oven?
The trick is in the name 'self cleaning'.
Here's my answer : I have a Kenmore self cleaning oven and just used that function for the very first time and it works wonders. Here were the instructions from the manual :
To set the Controls for a Self-clean cycle :
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push the CLEAN pad. ''---'' appears in the display.
3. Push the UP ARROW pad until ''3:00' appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle, or push the DOWN ARROW pad until ''2:00'' appears in the display for a 2 hour cycle.
4. As soon as the UP or DOWN ARROW pad is released, ''CLN'' appears in the display.
5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the ''LOCK'' indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to close).
6. The ''LOCK'' light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled, and the oven temperature has cooled.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is completed :
1. The time of day or ''End'' will appear in the display window and the ''Clean'' and ''LOCK'' light will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the ''LOCK'' light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. If ''END'' is in display and the ''Clean'' indicator remains on, press CLEAR OFF pad. The time of day will appear in the display.
Stopping or interrupting a self-cleaning cycle :
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire :
1. Push the CLEAN OFF pad.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the ''LOCK'' light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
If the oven isn't clean in some places you can use a bit of Easy-Off to take the stains out.
Don't use your burners meanwhile !
Good luck with your cleaning !
How do you get towels really clean?
I use a little dab of bleach in the wash (or color safe bleach). It helps, but unfortunately once the smell gets in - it never truly goes away. Prevention is the best remedy!
after years of the problem..... Make sure your dryer vent lined is NOT obstructed... make sure you are using the right amount of detergent... also make SURE your cold water line is not patially obstructed or this rinse cycle will not ever be complete...wash towels with a few squirts of "spray and wash".... after washing like this.... tumble dry for about twenty minutes and then hang outside to finish drying IN THE SUNSHINE.... the sunlight kills many of the microbes that cause odor... done 3 times a year, i have never since had any problems with even the most PLUSH towels!!!!!!!!!!
How do you clean pyrex pan using house products?
Pyrex usually cleans up pretty well if you just let it soak then scrub normally (and repeat as needed). If there's material that you really can't get off and you don't have scouring pads (like SOS) you can use baking powder (like Arm & Hammer). It isn't unusual to have some discoloration around the edge on a well used pyrex :)
