How do you remove grass stains from white cleats?
I have white cleats, and I needed to exchange them for a different size, so I used wet wipes for the cleats, and a mixture of Clorox and Dish soap for the hard to reach places such as the stitching. It works really good, but if you can try and treat them right away.
How do I clean the inside of my shower head?
Fill a bag with vinegar and tie it to the shower head. Leave it on for a couple of hours then wash. Good as new.
Or get yourself a shower head with rubber nozzles which are much like the SparkPod filtered shower head on Amazon.
Does the shower curtain go inside or outside of the bathtub?
I don't know if you are looking for any specific person, but if your question is why should you leave the shower curtain on the inside of the tub, the answer is simple. If you leave the shower curtain on the outside of the tub and take a shower, the water that runs down the curtain will be on the floor outside of the tub and you will have a mess to clean up. But if the curtain is on the inside of the tub, the water just runs out of the tub and thee is no mess to clean up.
Conrad Hilton said it.
Why do the glasses get cloudy?
Glasses get cloudy because detergents no longer contain phosphate. Consequently, hard water deposits get left on your "clean" dishes. There is a new product that solves this exact problem. It's all natural and contains no phosphate. Search for "CitriClean of Florida."
Stop using Calcium Chloride as your chlorination and start using tablets. Keep your pH level at 7.2 and brush the calcium deposits occasionally. There are calcium removers that you can buy at your pool supply store that will reduce the calcium in the water as well. Hatawa
What clean sheet mean in soccer?
A clean sheet is where the goalkeeper has let in no goals in the entire match. For example a football team wins 2-0. They haven't had any goals against and so it is a clean sheet. Often when a team gets a clean sheet the goalie or defence will get an extra bonus which is why players want a clean sheet.
I am afraid that the only way is for you to get a pool filter to look after it for you. There are small not terribly expensive units available and in the long run it will turn out cheaper than the excess water bill. in the mean time make sure you keep up some sort of germicide.
How can you clean water spots off marble?
If the water spots are on a non-porous surface, putting a diluted white vinegar solution on it and letting it soak awhile before scrubbing can make removal fairly easy.
White vinegar has been proven to work to remove hard water spots. See the step by step method below:
Natural Formula to Use:
Pure white vinegar
Method to Use:
1.Fill a clean spray bottle with pure vinegar
2.Spray the vinegar freely over the item to be cleaned and wait for a few minutes
3.If stains are stubborn spray more vinegar and wait a while longer
4.Simply wipe away with a clean cloth to reveal the shine
Tips:
Sometimes stains are extra stubborn - for this make a paste of white vinegar and baking soda and scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. Never use an abrasive cleaner like scouring pads, powders or steel wool as this will scratch surfaces.
How long does carpet last in homes?
There are two types of loop pile lasts longer carpeting: Berber features large, uncut loops of natural-tone fibers varying in size and usually made from wool, nylon or olefin. It's denser than most other carpets and highly stain resistant.

How do you wash a English saddle pad?
This is what i do:
#1- I take a cloth, wet it and take off all the loose dirt on the saddle.
#
2- I take some Liquid Glycerine saddle soap (Leather new) and spray it on the saddle then scrub it into the saddle (Whatever you do, Don't let it run)
#3- Once your finishes that clean the cloth in warm water then squeeze the water out and effortlessly wipe the surface of the saddle.
#4- Use a different cloth and i either recommend Leather CPR Or Effax Leather balsam and scrub into the saddle.
#5- Check your saddle for Non treated scuffs and scratches, if there is 1 you didn't do it properly.
How to remove soap and detergent from water?
Activated Carbon absorb organics such as soap from water. Reverse Osmosis is one of the ways soap can be removed from the water.
How much water do you use to clean your driveway?
now some may well say you use soap and water so the concentration of water to soap you will depend on how much water you use. If you use chicken stock cubes you will use alot less water. or gravy powder for that matter. Can i also suggest you you put flour and eggs on your car before washing as this will help to remove road residues. Did you know the panda bear has now been reclassified as a bear. Hello Matthew. I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.
Can you put broken glass in a garbage disposal?
Yes you can, but it is a really DUMB idea. It does not sharpen anything, and disposer blades do not require sharpening. If they did the owners manual would say so and there would be businesses providing that service. There are none. It is a dumb idea because plumbers do have to work on plumbing, sometimes dismantling the P-Trap to remove clogs. Getting cut by unexpected glass in the plumbing is dangerous enough, than add the sewage in the pipes directly into the wound makes for some very very potentially serious infection. Down the line, the city must service and clean out the collector lines, and finally at the sewage treatment plant, plumbers and mechanics must work on the same system, including pumps and aerator's. The raw sewage is digested by bacteria, but the glass remains glass, sharp and dangerous.
Only an idiot or somebody playing a very bad trick would intentionally put glass into the sewer system. It is like putting razor blades in Halloween candy, intending to hurt someone. It is devious. It is not funny. The best place for broken glass is the garbage. It goes to the landfill and is buried out of harms way.
~ ~ ~
I'm not going to say that the other previous answers are out-right wrong... for the purposes of INTENTIONALLY putting every-day broken glassware into the disposal, I would agree with them and play it safe by *NOT* putting the glass into the disposal and instead putting it in the trash.
HOWEVER, that being said, I have learned from personal experience that you *CAN* indeed grind glass (or, at least, *tempered* glass) in the disposal but if it's very much you will have to do the grinding manually b/c the disposal will bind.
Here's the story: I was moving out of a condo that I had sold and I had until 6PM that night to get out and turn the key over to the new owners. I was busy cleaning while the movers were packing. At one point I had the large tempered-glass shelf that sits over the crispers on many fridges and I was holding it over the sink with a trickle of water and a sponge scrubbing it clean... I picked it up carefully to begin drying it but unfortunately must have applied just a bit too much torque and the thing shattered... at least 75% of it made it into my disposal while the other 25% (minus a few shards that had "exploded" and cleared the sink) had clumped up and was sitting in the drain to the disposal.
In shock, not knowing what to do, and in a panic because of the time factor I reached down to grab the glas that had bunched up in the drain and as soon as I touched it it all crumbled and fell into the disposal... so, at least 95% of a glass shelf measuring about 2.5 feet by 1.5 feet was now down inside my disposal!!!!!
Again, in a panic, I turned on the water and the disposal... and guess what??? IT GRINDED AWAY... for about 2 seconds and then the motor bound up on the glass!!!
So, I got the vaccuum out... no, not a Wet-Vac, just a standard regular home vaccuum with the hose adapter and sucked out all of the excess glass... and no, I wasn't shocked... I'm not exactly sure why one would expect to be shocked since the hose was plastic and the vaccuum was on the ground and not in a puddle of water and even though the sink has SOME water in it it didn't have puddles anywhere, just drops everywhere like after you drain the sink... in other words, no "standing water"... why would you be shocked unless maybe you are using an all metal vaccuum and are trying to suck up standing water???
OK, so I got all the excess glass out of the disposal (and my vaccuum still works great today... over 6 months later, and it's a fairly cheap model I bought at the local electronics store for about $200 over 10 years ago!!!
I tried grinding again, to no avail. So I got down under the sink and used an Allen wrench to manually turn the disposal... sure, it was hard at first, and I could only go back and forth in very small increments... but those incrments got bigger and bigger until finally I could complete a full revolution... then I turned it on and it started grinding and I sold the unit and 2 weeks later my agent followed up with the buyers' agent and NO COMPLAINTS!
I follow this story up with another example that I learned from my mom (after MY experience I called to tell her about it and she told me this experience SHE had):
When she was a young 20-something she moved into a newly remodeled house for rent. The landlord who was a general contractor and had just finished performing all of the remodelling was taking her around showing her all the new stuff and arrived at the kitchen sink. He asked her to take a few pieces of a broken Coke bottle once a month and drop them into the running disposal... he said it would keep the blades sharp and the ground up glass would keep the basket of the disposal clean.
In both my experience as well as my mom's, no glass shards were ejected and sent flying from the disposal... the process seemed relatively safe. Additionally, I forgot to add, at one point my disposal DID in fact "shut down" as one of the previous respondents mentioned... but on the bottom of the disposal near the key-hole where you use an Allen wrench to manually turn the disposal is usually a white or red button. Pressing this button in will reset the motor circuitry and your disposal will power on again. The button is, in fact, a circuit breaker. So, it's not likely you'll permenantly shut-down your disposal, but you might have to reset it's circuit breaker on the bottom. I've accidentally tripped that breaker once or twice in my life by just accidentally putting too much food down it at once and it's a very easy thing to reset; thus, no foul!
So, there you go... glass into the disposal seems to work relatively fine without major problems. No conjecturing here, these are real first-hand experiences...
Does that mean I shove a Coke bottle down my sink every month??? No, I'm not that brave! :) But I do know that if you accidentally drop some glass down there, it's not a show-stopper and it's entirely possible it *COULD* be helpful for your disposal!
Glass Down a Garbage DisposalThis is not a good idea, at best. If you're lucky enough to not have shards of glass being propelled at you then you will have the joy of replacing that unit. Typically the unit will shut down when objects that are foreign are put into it. BE CAREFUL!And here is another FAQ Farmer confirming the sentiment:
No. You will make a bad thing worse. Just throw the glass away. If it's already in there due to a broken bottle or something, I would try vacumming the glass out with a WET DRY VAC! Don't use a regular household vacuum! You WILL electrocute yourself!
Remove water marks from velvet coat?
Often, just a dry brushing will do the trick. Use a very clean toothbrush, and just buff the stains and the area around it. If that doesn't do the trick, you may need to run it up to a dry cleaner.
How can you get pen stain off white shorts?
Saturate the stain with sprayed hair spray, then throw the garment into the wash. If the stain doesn't completely come out, repeat the process. DO NOT dry the garment until the stain has washed out!
What happens is that the hair spray, which contains lacquer, dissolves the ink, but the hair spray also washes out in water/detergent. (Taking the ink with it.)
How do you clean a jetted tub?
You don't mention what sort of dirt you have in there, but whenever I have to stay in a hotel, I think about all the previous occupants, and I run vinegar water through the whirlpool before I put even one toe in. Just fill the tub as if you were going to use it, add at least 1 cup of vinegar, and run the jets. Room service should be able to provide the vinegar - don't use bleach, which could damage the interior hoses. Vinegar will dissolve soap and kill off most bacteria.
Answer: VERY CAREFULLY! Beyond that what you want to do is add Soda Ash to the solution that you mixed up. For every 16 oz of Muriatic acid use about 3 lbs of Soda Ash. Soda Ash is also know as pH rise, pH increaser, pH Plus, Sodium Carbonate, Balance Pak 200, and any thing that it is used specifically to increase the pH level in swimming pool water. ONLY USE A PRODCUT SPECIFICLY DESIGNED FOR THIS PURPOSE. NEVER MIX CHLORINE AND MURIATIC ACID TOGETHER IF THE EXPLOSION DOES NOT KILL YOU THE CHLORINE GAS WILL. Once the Soda Ash has done its thing you can safely pour the solution on the ground and hose it down with fresh water. PH the particulates in the acid are now large enough to stay in your filter and not back on your salt cell. Why waste when you get to the large stuff at the bottom of the container fill it back up with water and pour it down the drain.
Can you use Clorox to clean an above ground pool?
<ul><li>We have used regular bleach for many years on our 28 foot round above-ground pool. We recently bought a house with a 20 x 40 in ground pool. We are using regular bleach upon opening this year too. The above ground had a a "torpedo" filter with accordian (sp) filter. This one has the round sand filter. So far so good. All of our testing came out good as well.</li></ul><br /> More input from FAQ Farmers: <ul><li>My opinion is yes. The reason is that liquid shock is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite. Clorox bleach is 5.95% sodium hypochlorite. It's the same stuff just a lower concentration. I also use it myself.</li></ul><ul><li>NO, please do not do this, I did it 2 years ago and the pool people could not figure out why I could not get the green out of my pool, I finally had to break down and tell them I used household bleach, so they never knew to look for ammonia in the pool, well, when they tested for ammonia, the levels were to the roof, because the heat makes it go even higher, had to drain whole pool and start over.</li></ul><ul><li>The above is 100% WRONG. There is no ammonia in bleach. If you had any Cl in the pool, the ammonia would have been instantly oxidized to a combined chlorine. Sounds to me like you let your Cl run out and had something peeing in the pool, like a horse or cow. :D</li></ul><ul><li>Dont be so cheap. Clorox is less than half the concentration of liquid shock. use the real stuff and you wont have problems.</li></ul><ul><li>The various brands of "pool" chlorine are at best just concentrated calcium hypochlorite atworst they add a bunch of "enhancers" which seem ot only enhance their bottom line.</li></ul><ul><li>It takes a little more work using household chemicals but the cost savings are significant.</li></ul><ul><li>We have an in-ground pool about the size of the one mentioned above. This is just my two cents, but usually the people that tell you <b>not</b> to use Clorox are pool supply stores or maintenance people! They call this the <i>"hillbilly solution"</i> primarily because granulated shock can run up to $200 a bucket whereas the same amount of Clorox might cost you $15... they make no money if you are buying Clorox at the Dollar Store. That being said, <b>we personally</b> only use Clorox in the fall and winter months when nobody is swimming. In my opinion... if your intention is just to keep the water clear, by all means use Clorox. If someone is actually going to be swimming I would use the real stuff. There's no evidence that using Clorox during swimming months will harm anyone, and it by no means harms your pool or equipment... but we just feel safer with the real stuff. <b>That being said, don't let your pool guy talk you into buying hundreds of dollars worth of chemical from him in the winter when Clorox does the same thing!</b></li></ul><ul><li>Having worked in the pool industry for many years, here is my opinion. Yes, pool companies are out to make money. It's a fact, but it is business. Second, I would NOT recommend using standard Clorox as a sanitizer because it is as best a 10% aqueous solution of hypochlorus acid. Normal pool shock, Calcium Hypochlorite, is on average 67% concentration. I sold 1Lb bags for $3.99, or 25LB buckets for $87.99. 1 LB per 10,000 gallons per week, along with 1 chlorine tablet per 5,000 gallons per week. This in conjunction with a proper algaecide, 24/7 filtering, and proper water balance (pH, Alk, calcium hardness, phosphate levels, and conditioner) you should have no problems keeping you</li></ul><ul><li>There is a ton of misinformation in the posts above. Clorox is roughly 6% sodium hypochlorite and the rest is water with a tiny bit of salt. Liquid pool chlorine is normally 10-12% sodium hypochlorite and the rest is water with a tiny bit of salt. THEY ARE IDENTICAL except for strength. Clorox is and has been used in thousands of pools daily. It's not neccesarily cheaper, but frequently more convenient. More importantly, Sodium hypochlorite is, by far, the BEST thing you can sanizite a pool with. Simply because nothing gets added to your pool except the little bit of salt. All other forms of chlorine add other things to your pool....many of which can accumulate over time and cause unwanted side effects.</li></ul><br /><br /> Bleach is Sodium Hypochlorite, just not as strong as pool shock or pool chlorine. <br /> It takes 3 to 4 times as much bleach to equal one gallon of pool chlorine in our swimming pool. This means you need to add 3 to 4 gallons of Clorox for every gallon of pool chlorine you normally add. Really, it is not cost effective, but will work, in a pinch. <br /><ul><li>Bleach will work fine (chlorine is chlorine, after all). However, bleach is very basic, and will raise the pH of the pool. I use it occasionally in my own pool, but only if I want to raise the pH at the same time. Don't use it if your pH is already too high, or you'll have to add some acid to bring the pH back down. Other chlorine sources, such as tablets or powder, don't increase the pH significantly.</li><li>First let me say that I have worked in commercial pool maintenance, retail pool spa sales, and have been a moderator on two different pool and spa forums and currently still a moderator on one. Second, let me say that chlorine bleach is fine to use in a pool, it is actually fairly pH neutral in use ( alkaline when it goes in and acidic when it sanitizes so the net effect is pH neutral. Most pH rise in pools is caused by outgassing of CO2).</li></ul><br /><br /> Ultra bleach is 6% sodium hypochlorite, standard bleach is 5.25%, bargain bleach around 3%. Liquid pool chloirine or shock is sold in 6%, 10% and 12.5% strengths with the last two being most common. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE AMOUNT NEEDED! <br /><br /> There are basically two groups of chlorine used in pools): the chlorinated isocaynurates (trichlor and dichlor) which often result in ovestabilized pools and the subsequent problems (persistent algae and cloudy water often treated with algaecide, phosphate remover, and clarifier -which would be unnecessary if proper water maintenance guidelines are followed by limiting the cyanuric acid buildup by periodic draining and filling but it would also cut into the retailer's bottom line!) These are both acidic so the eat up total alkalinity and pH crashes are not uncommon. <br /><br /> Unstabilized (Inorganic) hyopchlorites (sodium, lithium, calcium) which have the least impact on pool chemistry. However, the last one will cause calcium hardness to increase, which can be a problem that leads to scaling and staining. <br /><br /> As far as cost comparison...One gallon of 6% household bleach will raise the FC by about 6 ppm in 10k gallons of water. One pound of 43% cal hypo shock (the most common kind sold these days) will raise the FC in 10k gallons of water by the about same amount. The price differential is great, however with the bleach costing about half as much in most localities! <br /><br /> One thing to realize if using unstabilized chlorine sources in an outdoor pool. You MUST add stabilizer to the water to around 50 ppm to keep the chlorine from being destroyed by UV from the sun. IF you don't the chlorine will not last very long in the pool (you will lose about half of it every 30 minutes) and this could cause algae outbreaks to occur and other problems. However, having a proper stabilizer level in the water and testing for it on a regular basis is just a normal part of proper pool maintenance, whether using a stabilized or unstabilized chlorine source! <br /><br /><ul><li>First let me say that I have worked in commercial pool maintenance, retail pool spa sales, and have been a moderator on two different pool and spa forums and currently still a moderator on one.

How do you remove water stains from taffeta?
Sorry! Either get a new matress , get some new matress pads to cover up the stain, use hydrogen peroxide on it as soon as possible, or get over it.
How do you remove white stains on your carpet from flood water?
If the flood water was from an actual flood, check with Red Cross, you may need to remove the carpeting. Some bacteria cannot be cleaned out of a carpet after a flood. If the flood was from internal pipes, it is probably an alkaline based stain. www.fabriclink.com/carpet/carpetstain.html can be a helpful site.
Step 1: Fill your sink with water and dish soap. (make sure there is a plug in the sink first so that your water does not drain out) Step 2: Put the dirty dishes into the water. Step 3: Get a dish rag. Step 4: Grip the dish rag tightly. Step 5: Press the dish rag to the dish with great force. Step 6:Move hand back and forth across the dish until all food and stains are removed from the dish. Step 7: rinse all bubbles and soap off of the dish. Step 8: Put wet dish into a drainer or on a towel. Step 9: Warning when washing a knife. Do not press down with great force, you will get cut. Step 10: When washing a plate or bowl, make sure you wash both sides or you will have dirty dishes because they will touch. Step 11: When all dishes have been successfully washed and rinsed, remove the plug from the sink, Let water drain and rinse down any food, bubbles, or remains in the sink. Step 12: You have to ring out your rag if you don't you will have a foul smell when it is drying or is dried. Step 13: When dishes in drainer are dry, Put dishes into their correct place or location. Step 14: Pat yourself on your back for doing a good job! =) ( make sure your hands are dry though.)
How do you remove dog poop from the sole of a sneaker?
Paper towels and water. Depends on how much poop you're talking about though. I have ran the bottom of the shoe under the tap and wiped with paper towels. It's worked for me.
Another idea is to use a toothbrush to get the poop out of textured areas of the shoe, such as the tread on the bottom. Then throw the toothbrush away, do not use it again.
