How do you remove pernament marker off of metal?
If it is in the raw wood, it can be pretty much impossible. If it hasn't penetrated the finish, rubbing alcohol will remove it if it doesn't affect the finish. Test before trying!
I used hairspray and it worked REALLY well on finished wood surfaces. The initial treatment left a bit of a hue on our light-colored dresser,(the sharpie was blue) but a second lighter treatment pretty much removed all of it. I used Suave, so maybe if I used a more popular and expensive brand, it would have worked the first time...HAHAHA.....this method also works well on ball-point pen ink. Try to remember to go WITH the grain while using this method.

Your best bet with any surface like this is a product recommended by Sharpie in its FAQ: Amodex Ink and Stain Remover. It's a liquid soap that specializes in removing ink from clothes, so less pourous items like tables and counters (and skin, believe it or not) are easily cleaned by it. All you need to do is pour a little of the Amodex on the stain, let it sit for a moment, and then wipe the soap away.
If a wooden table stain is really set in there, just let the Amodex sit for a longer period of time, and/or use repeat applications. Eventually, even the toughest Sharpie stains should come out.
How do you clean dishwasher interior?
To clean the inside of a Kenmore dishwasher Ultra Wash II begin by washing down the interior walls with a wet sponge and some dish soap. They place some white vinegar in a bowl on the top shelf and run it on the quick wash cycle.
The pump cycle on the empty cycle is not operating properly. It is controlled by a circuit board in the panel on the front of your machine. You will need a properly trained person to fix it. Contact Jenn Air on the web and they will tell you who in your area is trained to fix the Jenn Air Dishwasher. I have a General Electric that is twelve years old and si still operating perfectly.
How do i Remove rust stains from a dishwasher?
Put in "No More Yellow" (not yellow out) into the dishwasher and run it through a cycle. (empty, of course). Then run the dishwasher at least once more to clean out any existing residue. No More yellow is toxic, but as long as you put the dishwasher through a full cycle once again, it will be fine. It is also the best I have found for getting rust out of clothes.

The drain hose will have a small, plastic pump, which sometimes jam because of coins, lint, buttons etc. It happened on mine and I was able to take a cover off the side of the pump and clean it out.
Why can't you put dish washing soap in the dishwasher?
Dish liquid is designed to generate a lot of suds. A dishwasher cycle will stir up excessive suds that the machine won't be able to rinse away. Some dishwashers will stop or break down if this happens. If you're out of the regular dish washing detergent, rinse the dishes well before you put them in and then run the dishwasher without detergent. The hot water and dry cycle will sanitize dishes sufficiently. Or, put the dishes in, close the door and leave it until you can get some detergent.
There is an attachment for this that screws on the spout in place of the screen. Any plumbing supply should have it, just explain what you want. It is the same type of fitting as on an air hose if you have seen that.

Is Noritake China dishwasher safe?
While it could be washed in a dishwasher, you would have to insure that it doesn't rub against anything. The rythmic motions of the water in a dishwasher can cause things to rock back and forth, rubbing against other dishes and the racks. These will wear away the thin gold coating. I would recommend hand washing.
What was used before dishwashers were invented?
(1) They used a stream and a rock or two from the bottom of the stream and soap.... (2) Following the stream-and-stone method, the washboard was developed. The washboard required the person to scrub the material up and down over the corrugated board, as the board stood in a washtub (about the size of a standard washing machine tub). (3) Next came the washer with double-roller. This required a person to manually insert and crank wet, soapy material between the two rollers -- somewhat easier than pounding or scrubbing, but still not an easy task.
