What is the best way to clean your dentures?
The Best Way to Clean Your Dentures
As a Dental Technician for the past 44 years, I have made thousands of dentures and this is what I recommend:
First, look to see if your denture has a soft liner. This will be a soft surface on the denture side that fits against your mouth. If you are not sure, press the surface with you fingernail. If it makes a mark then you likely have a soft liner in you appliance. Second, if you see any silver metal on your denture either clasp or silver palate DO NOT use step 6 below. Doing so will make your soft liner turn hard and any metal will get a tarnished color.
1- Always brush your denture over a sink full of water. The most likely place you will damage your denture is dropping it in the sink while it is being brushed. It takes just a few seconds to fill the sink and you will be glad your did when you drop it.
2-Brush your denture with a denture brush available at any drug store. Never use a standard tooth brush. The bristles in a normal tooth brush are make of nylon and will cut groves in your denture.
3-NEVER brush your denture back and forth like you were scrubbing the kitchen floor, Brush you denture from the top to the biting edge of the tooth like you would natural teeth.
4- Baking soda is an excellent cleaner for your denture. You can also use regular tooth paste is you prefer.
5-Soak your denture in a glass of plain water or you may add a little baking soda to the water to soak overnight.
6-About once a month you may soak your denture in a glass of half water and half Clorox over night This will remove any stains that have attached to your denture. Once a month only, you do not want to bleach the color out of your denture.
It is not necessary to use any commercial cleaner on your denture and many may actually harm your denture. If you have had to avoid step six above do not use commercial cleaners. Most use oxidizing agents the same as a Clorox solution. They will in time damage the soft liner and tarnish any metal on your appliance.
I hope this was helpful.

Why wool shrinks when washed in hot water while silk does not?
Wool does not shrink, it felts. This is caused by the raised scales of the cuticle layer of the wool fiber catching on one another. The fibers in a fleece on a sheep are all growing out of the follicles in the same direction and they generally grow at a similar rate. This means that the cuticle scales (which are a bit like the teeth on a saw blade) are all pointed in the same direction. They don't catch on one another. These scales can be seen clearly under a microscope.
After the fleece is shorn, the processing stages cause the natural fibers alignment to be completely disrupted. As the fleece is cleaned and scoured, the "staple" structure is destroyed and the fibers no longer line up "tip to base" as they would in the fleece. The fibers end up in all dimensions and suffer entangling after scouring and drying. The purpose of washing and scouring is to remove unwanted materials and to disentangle and align the fibers into a parallel arrangement for spinning yarn. However the fibers will not necessarily be "tip to base". The scales now can be at 180 degrees to one another, which can cause them to catch on each other.

However the fibers will not necessarily be "tip to base". The scales now can be at 180 degrees to one another, which can cause them to catch on each other.
When the fibers are spun, they come in close contact with each other, and the interlocking nature of the scales is what helps keep the yarn together. Felting usually occurs in the presence of heat, water and agitation, and this acts as a ratchet, tightening the contact between the fibers in the yarn, and then the yarns in the fabric.When the fibers are spun, they come in close contact with each other, and the interlocking nature of the scales is what helps keep the yarn together.

Wool tends to felt is because of the scales on the fibers. Other animal fibers have cuticle scales too, but to varying degrees. For instance, the cuticle scales on human hair are much flatter. Fine diameter wools are more likely to felt than broad diameter wools because they have a greater surface area, and hence more scales proportionately.Wool tends to felt is because of the scales on the fibers.

Silk on the other hand Silk on the other hand
Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The best-known type of silk is obtained from cocoons made by the larvae of the mulberry
silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture).
And what of the shrinkage question? Silk is a strong natural fiber, a protein actually, that does not itself shrink. It is the fashion in which the separate fibers are wound together during the weaving process that causes shrinkage. Silks that are highly twisted or very loosely woven will bunch up, as water will create a twisting energy within the fibers. However, silks of poor quality will also shrink at the dry cleaners. It is advised that you always purchase an extra 1/8 of a yard for silk sewing projects to accommodate any shrinkage during pre-washing. The maximum shrinkage you can expect is usually 5% to 10%, although some loosely woven silks could shrink as much as 15%. Again, pre-washing before beginning your project is very important.
Why cant you remove graffiti using soap and water?
Soap and water may not be sufficient to remove graffiti because it can be made of materials like spray paint or permanent markers that adhere strongly to surfaces. In such cases, special graffiti removers or solvents may be needed to effectively remove the graffiti. Additionally, some surfaces, like porous materials or delicate surfaces, may be permanently damaged by attempts to remove graffiti using soap and water.
How do you get candlewax off microfiber upholstelry?
The old-fashioned way to remove dried candle wax from fabric was to cover said fabric with thick brown paper, then using a warm iron on top of the paper, allow the wax to melt. The brown paper will absorb the liquid wax, thus removing it from the fabric.
How often should you change your bed sheets?
In winter I change the sheet set weekly...in summer twice or three times a week. More if you sweat at night. They also should be washed in hot water, to kill all bacteria left from your skin. Remember not to use chlorine bleach with colored sheets; always use color-safe bleach.
There are many people who only change bed sheets once every couple of weeks or once a month. If you don't have terrible allergies from dust mites, and your bed sheets aren't soiled, it's not likely to cause huge problems if you wait a little longer to change sheets.
You should replace your sheets completely, getting rid of the old ones, when there are holes, stains or bleach stains, or the edge of the fitted sheet starts to come apart at the corners.
