How do you clean old semen stains on carpet?

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.

How do you wipe DNA off gun?

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.

What is the best furniture polish?

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.

When building a swimming pool is it better to put in an in floor cleaning system or the standard polaris cleaning system?

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.

Will white vinegar remove under arm smell from clothes washed in cold water with detergent in the washing machine?

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).

Can acetone be used to clean PVC?

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.

How do you clean Reebok zig techs?

How do you get stubborn roll-on lip gloss to work?

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.

If your wife went out with some friends and her panties have weird stains how do you know if they are semen stains?

  • First off I think it's strange you're checking out your wife's panties, so it appears you are extremely suspicious of your wife's comings and goings. Women can leave stains in their underwear from discharge to period time, so I have no idea what you are looking for. Only you know if you are having marital problems and if you are, then sit down with your wife (don't accuse her of cheating) and ask if she is happy in your marriage. Communication is everything!
  • Take a black light to her panties. Semen shows up with a black light, but discharge from a woman's vagina can may also show up.
  • Woman do discharge many ways during the month. It depends what time of the month. Ever hear of the rhythm method? A woman's discharge tells her when she is fertile. Don't judge your wife, ask her. If you don't the suspicion will drive you crazy. If you are checking panties also check cell phone records, but communicating with her might answer a lot of your questions or fears.
  • If you are checking your wife's panties, I think you are extremely insecure! Women have discharge at all different times of the month and assuming that it is semen is outrageous! If you don't trust her to that extent you should not be married to her!

A:

I can understand someone asking "why are you checking your wife's panties". But telling you you should not be married to her is NOT good advice. This clown needs to understand at this point you are only looking into a suspition. Gathering all the facts BEFORE divorcing your wife is a noble thing.

Latest stats show that women committing infidelity has been on the increase for several years. We have all heard 40% of women, and 60% of men cheat. The burning question has always been: if 60% of men cheat, who are men cheating with???

What it came down to was years ago, women were still doing just as much cheating, but they were not being as open as men when asked about extramarital affairs. 2007 Stats show 65% of women cheat as compared to 68% of men. Now that the truth is out, the playing field is almost level. So much for men being the bad guy!

Checking your wife's panties, sounds odd to some. But it is one way of finding the facts.

Moving forward, forget the black light. You can go online and find Sperm detection kits with 5 separate tests for $25.00 I think you can get 10 tests for $40.00. These kits turn purple when Sperm is detected. Other types of vaginal discharge will not turn the test strip purple. If you see purple, and its not from you, she's cheating.

One thing to consider with the pantie test: If they are using condoms, your screwed. You would have to catch that one time the condom broke or they didn't use one.

Sorry to bring this up but: if she is giving oral without a condom you could check her shirt or bra for stains.

One thing about sexual affairs you have going for you. People talk about them. Have a trusted friend do some detective work by tailing her or asking around. (Female friends are better at this.) Use a friends car she does not know, or rent a cheap car for the night and follow her. Take a trusted friend with you, to help you keep your cool if you see something upsetting. You don't want to loose your cool and end up in jail. Even better, hire a detective. Like Cheaters.com.

Bottom line, if your gut feeling is there is something up, then you are not a wacko for checking your wife's underwear. Maybe you watch a bit too much CSI, but your method of detection is one way to find the truth.

Men who do the laundry are not strange, we know where the disharge usually appears and if you see a stain out of place, it raises a red flag.

Answer:

You could always ask her. It's all about trust and honesty...isn't it?

Why does a marble floor feel hotter in summer than a carpeted floor?

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.
