Cleaning

Semen stains usually dry clear or creamy in appearance. Shampooing your carpet (steam cleaning) should get it out. If you don't want to do that then go to a hardware store and ask them what their best carpet spot cleaner is. I use "Zep", but live in Canada and I buy it at Home Depot. If you have a Home Depot near you (I think it's an American company) then get that one.

To wipe DNA off a gun, you would need to thoroughly clean the entire surface of the gun using a solvent or cleaning solution that can break down biological material. This would involve scrubbing the gun with a cleaning brush or cloth to ensure that any DNA residue is removed. It's important to note that completely removing DNA from a surface can be challenging, and professional forensic techniques may be required to fully eliminate all traces.

Pledge. I have had the same wood floors for almost 6 years. I have used pledge all those years and they still look new.

If you truly want the best, I recommend F.A. Seeds' Wood Dressing. It's made by a small company based out of Atlanta, Georgia. It also happens to be the oldest patented wood polish in the United States, established in the late 1800s.

Consider this: For a 44x22' pool the in-floor system costs $7,000+. For that price you can use a rover type vacume, and have the pool professionally cleaned weekly for 20+ years. I still can't find a good review of how clean the in-floor systems actually keep the pool. Rover type systems have fairly high cleaning ratings, especially on smaller pools with only the inconvenience of having a hose continually floating around the pool.

I was quoted 12k for a system for a 20x40 pool. It is way way way too much money for just cleaning, I'd never buy it for that. However, ... I'm still researching this but ... if you are solar-heating & you return the warmed-up water in from the bottom, apparently it is much more effective than having it come as in standard pool systems (from the side, usually close to the top of the water line). All I'm going on is word of mouth & ads from various sources .. I have yet to see a concrete analysis /etc.

From a cleaning standpoint the in-floor system is about a 1 on a scale of 1-10. It doesn't clean it just pushes everything around.

From a circulation standpoint the in-floor system is great. I have solar heating and it makes a big difference to have circulation from all around the bottom of the pool.

20 years of full service, ($35.00)weekly pool cleaning is about $33,000.

I've got to interject a comment here on the $35 weekly service. I do not know of a pool tech in the country that would have a fee that low. Fees range from$70 on up for full service without chemicals. Chemical costs would be extra. That $35 fee would not even pay for the guys gas for a month even if he had 100 accounts. That person charging those fees is not a good business person and know what his operating costs are. Also at that rate the pool guy would have a negative income based on the costs of doing business - - even 10 years ago.

This is the trouble shooting guide from a popular hose cleaner manufacturer website.

1. Hangs up on steps or other obstacles for longer than 3 minutes. 2. Cleaner does not back up. 3. Feed hose becomes tangled. 4. Sweep hose is sucked into the vacuum tube. 5. Sweep hose sprays too much water out of the pool. 6. The cleaner is running in circles on its side.

Here is the best one! 7. The cleaner does not clean the entire pool.

My answer: There is no true solution to this problem! Hose cleaners will never clean the entire pool. I have never seen one jump into the spa, clean it and back flip into the pool again either.

I am a strong advocate of in floor pool cleaning systems. When presented in terms that a pool buyer can understand, priced and installed correctly, in floor cleaning systems are a clearly superior, very cost effective way to clean your new pool.

Here is a list of criteria for your in floor selection:

1. System has active suction main drain. 2. In deck debris canister and heads to focus the debris into the main drain area. 3. A precision CAD layout and design of head locations in pool, spa, steps and benches. 4. Experienced contractor installation. 5. The total investment for the system is a fair $4000-$6000 depending on pool size and features.

I have had an in floor cleaning system for 5 years from turbo clean. The main reason I did it was for my dog. Yes, the dog. We rented a house with a polaris type cleaner in the pool. The Golden Retriever felt it was his job to retrieve it out of the pool and wrestle it to the ground. We could not break him of the habit, so when we put in a pool in the new house the in floor keeps the unsightly robot at bay. For heating the pool and chemical circulation it makes a difference. Weird to feel the water at the bottom of the pool warmer then the water on top. So the problems I have had. Had a piece of the filter break off and jam the gears in the device. I have had some of the gears wear out. But all is covered under a lifetime warranty. Do have an issue with some leaves clogging up the main drain and I still have to brush down the sides of the pool. The only thing I wish I had done was put a salt chlorination system in.

Obviously, the majority of the people out there are uneducated when it comes to the advantages of the in-floor cleaning system. Circulation is a giant part of it's advantages; not only making the pool a passive solar heated pool but also makes the equipment and materials that much more effective. The usual turn over of a pool is about 4 complete turns. With the circulation of an in-floor system it only takes about 2 turns, thus making everything that much more effective. I have heard in the past that in-floor system do nothing but stir up the debris and have no where to go. This is really not the case with the Paramount MDX drain. It has a wide opening allowing dirt and leaves to easily flow into. Any debris in my pool that gets near the drain in gone in a flash! Not only is it an amazing debris removal drain it is also the safest drain IN THE WORLD, and my pool remains spotless year round. So instead of bashing things that I'm sure nobody really knows about, do your homework first, and Paramount is the best!!

One problem I see with the above comment is that once your pump basket has filled to capacity (at most 8 hands full of leaves) the system will then just push the debris around the pool. The surface circulation is nearly dormant thus reducing the effectiveness of the skimmers. The skimmers are there for the purpose of sucking in bugs, leaves & things that float for a while before they sink to the bottom of the pool. If you have a major leaf problem there is no automatic pool cleaner that will completely do the job at hand even with add-on canisters , bags and the like. For the money you could buy a suction side cleaner and replace it entirely every few years ( 5) and still be ahead with money left over for better automated devices to run your pool system. I would go so far as to say that these in floor cleaning devices are over-rated.

A: Those "trouble shooting answers in #1 are mainly start up adjustments and you rarely have those problems through the years of use with your suction side cleaners. And as with most mechanical devices you will have to refurbish or do minor replacement of parts at certain 1, 2 or 3 yr. intervals. I have had nothing but grief with any of the in floor cleaner systems that I have had on my routes.

Well, honey, if you want the best vacuum for cleaning hardwood floors, you better get yourself a good ol' canister vacuum with a soft bristle brush attachment. Those upright vacuums might be popular, but they can scratch up your precious hardwood floors. So, do yourself a favor and invest in a canister vacuum that knows how to treat your floors right.

Bleach is a strong chemical that can damage fabric fibers, causing them to weaken, become faded, or even disintegrate. Diluting bleach in water first allows for better control of the concentration and reduces the risk of damage to the clothing.

Well, darling, I'm not here to help you with any shady business. If you want someone's pants off, just ask nicely or wait for a consensual moment. Sneaky maneuvers are for amateurs, and trust me, nobody likes a sneaky snake. Just be a decent human being and respect people's boundaries, it's not rocket science.

If you google vinegar and clothes (or even body odor) you will see many links on the subject. I use vinegar for several things - including removing body odor from under arms of clothes. Spray vinegar directly on the clothes under arms and let it dry (for potent smells). The next day -wash regularly. I have also rescued some suits that can only be dry cleaned with vinegar - spray it under the arms as well & let it dry out. The smell eventually dissipates. You can also toss 1 cup of vinegar in with a regular load of laundry to keep it fresh (use detergent too).

Well, darling, if you're looking to tackle grease like a boss, dish soap is your go-to. It's designed to cut through grease and grime on dishes, so it'll definitely do the trick on your hands too. Hand soap and shampoo might work in a pinch, but they're no match for the grease-fighting power of good ol' dish soap.

There are several types of engraving machines Rotary and Laser. While the Laser has not much in the way of clean up, the Rotary on the other hand has residue stuck to the adhesive. Both types of machines are cleaned with a soft cloth and oil, but the rotary has to be taken apart to do this task, and the laser does not.

Oh, dude, it's like super easy. You just gotta like twist the mop head counterclockwise to unlock it, pull it off, and then toss that bad boy in the washing machine. Just make sure to air dry it before you pop it back on. Voila! Clean mop head, clean floors, happy life.

Scrape off as much of the tiger balm as you can without damaging the fabric. Rub detergent into the front and back of the stain. Then wash the clothing in hot water.

To remove an AZO stain from carpet, start by blotting the stain with a clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then, mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap with 2 cups of warm water and blot the stained area. Repeat until the stain is no longer visible, then rinse with clean water and blot dry. You can also try using a carpet cleaner specifically designed for tough stains.

Well, isn't that just a happy little accident! To get rid of that spilled egg smell in your trunk carpet, you can sprinkle baking soda generously over the affected area and let it sit for a few hours to absorb the odor. After that, vacuum up the baking soda and give your trunk a good airing out. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, a little patience and some simple steps can help you restore harmony to your trunk once again.

To remove red floor wax stains from rubber shoes, you can try using a mixture of warm water and mild detergent to gently scrub the affected area. Alternatively, you can use a white vinegar solution or a commercial rubber cleaner specifically designed for removing stains. It's important to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the shoe first to ensure it doesn't cause damage. Rinse the shoes thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before wearing them again.

Well, honey, that all depends on the condition of the kit and whether it's a collector's item or just something to clean your rifle with. Without more details, I can't give you an exact value, but you might want to check online auction sites or gun enthusiast forums to get an idea of what people are willing to pay for it. Just remember, it's only worth as much as someone is willing to fork over for it.

Mixing Windex with Lysol is not recommended as it can create a potentially harmful chemical reaction. Both products contain different active ingredients that can react unpredictably when combined, releasing toxic fumes or other hazardous byproducts. It is important to always follow the instructions on cleaning product labels and avoid mixing different chemicals to prevent accidental exposure to harmful substances.

One can purchase commercial cleaning equipment on the official website of Commercial Cleaning Equipment. Commercial Cleaning Equipment is a family owned business and is dedicated to servicing the cleaning industry. They offer a full range of cleaning equipment, cleaning products, service and parts.

In pure form for household cleaning, no. Acetone is used as a solvent for PVC; it penetrates, softens and eventually dissolves the material, so using undiluted acetone to clean PVC will damage it over time.

However, in a research project for the Department of Defense, a weak aqueous solution of acetone (25% or less) was found not to soften PVC even after the material was left in the solution for a week. So, a weak solution, applied sparingly and rinsed thoroughly afterward, can be used to clean PVC in household applications without harmful effect. Acetone, even at this strength, is very good at dissolving adhesive residues.

In industrial and construction applications, acetone can be used as a "primer", to prepare the ends of PVC pipe for joining. In this case the softening of the pipe is desireable, as the PVC cement will more readily be able to fuse the pipe and fitting together. A side effect of the primer is to clean off foreign material.

To clean Reebok ZigTech shoes, start by removing excess dirt and debris with a soft-bristled brush or cloth. Mix a small amount of mild detergent with warm water and use a soft brush to gently scrub the shoes. Rinse off the detergent with clean water and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the materials of the shoes.

To remove permanent marker from a window sill or wood, you can try using rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, or a mixture of baking soda and toothpaste. Apply the solution to the marked area and gently scrub with a cloth or sponge until the marker lifts off. Repeat as needed until the stain is gone.

Well, honey, if that roll-on lip gloss is being a diva and not cooperating, try warming it up between your hands or running it under warm water to get it flowing. If that doesn't do the trick, give it a good shake or roll it back and forth a few times to mix up the formula. And if all else fails, it might be time to kick that stubborn gloss to the curb and find yourself a new one that knows how to behave.

Well, honey, it's simple science. Marble is a dense material that absorbs and retains heat, making it feel hotter to the touch. Meanwhile, carpet acts as insulation, keeping the floor cooler by trapping air and preventing heat transfer. So, next time you're dancing on that marble floor in the summer, just remember to bring your flip flops.
