How do you clean pencil marks from travertine?

Mr. Cleans magic eraser. Not nail polish remover. It doesn't work. You should just not use pencil at all and tell the workers not to. But if they did and it's more than a day the pencil will not remove with eraser, vinegar, alcohol or soap. Use Mr. Cleans Magic eraser with water in circular motion. Some will need more muscle.

How do you get water stains from your marble stairs?

Answer#1

I hope I'm wrong, but I believe that is a chemical change and is permanent. Contact a professional. Maybe the stains could be chelated out with HF (hydroflouric acid). But still get some professional advice.

ANSWER:

Personally I hate using any kind of acid on marble, it's just not a good mix. First thing to try is acetone on a soft rag. Hydrogen Peroxide may bubble out the stain. There are also marble poultices available at Home Depot that may be required. When it does come clean, remember to reseal the stone with a professional stone cleaner.

Obtain a tube of seam sealer from a flooring supply company. Thereafter, whenever you slice the floor, gently clean and dry the area.

Don't walk over it for a good 24 hours and it should be good for a long time.

How do I get stinky body smell out of undershirt without using bleach?

If you have previously washed it and put it into the dryer, removing the smell might be difficult. Try soaking it in water with white vinegar added for a few hours and then wash it again--with soap and warm water. Hang to dry. If it still smells, try soaking it in baking soda and water--that is a degreaser and may make the difference. Generally, the more quickly you wash clothing that has an odor the better off you are.

Answer

Don't bleach!!! Stay away from BODY ODOR producing foods!! And try cleaning yourself before putting on new undershirt!!

What is the best way to clean vinyl floors?

Armstrong Vinyl Floor Cleaner is a great cleaner; it leaves a very thin film of acrylic, preserving your vinyl floor's finish. I personally avoid vinegar or ammonia as they exacerbate this author's asthma.

You can mop them with a solution of 1/2 cup vinegar and a gallon of warm water, which is a very effective cleaner, and no rinsing required. Vinegar is safe on floors, as well as being safe for children and pets. It's also safe for the environment, so it is a great alternative for those "going green".

Or, if you prefer, you can also clean them with Murphy's Oil Soap. Mix 1/4 to one gallon warm water, mop as usual. No rinsing required.

What is the difference between toilet cleaning and moth repelling balls?

Dissimilar active ingredients and dissimilar purposes represent the difference between toilet cleaning and moth repelling balls. Cetrimonium bromide tends to be the active ingredient in toilet cleaning balls. It's effective in cleaning and leaving a fresh cleaning smell.

In contrast, the quite toxic naphthaline tends to be the active ingredient in moth repelling balls. It's effective in keeping clothes eating moths away from sweaters and other woollens. Naphthaline has a steady track record that goes back at least to the 19th century in its use as a moth population control. The problem lies in its toxicity. So it's a medical emergency when taken in by humans.
