Household Hints

The purple dye from the socks may bleed onto the white underpants, causing them to become stained with a purple tint. It's best to separate dark-colored clothing from lights when doing laundry to prevent color transfer.

The temperature of an iron used for ironing clothes typically ranges from 300°F to 450°F (150°C to 230°C), depending on the type of fabric being ironed. It's important to adjust the temperature based on the fabric care label instructions to prevent damage.

Good question. It depends on your point of reference. If you Look UP at it while it is installed on the ceiling, then use the nob or pulley that controls the fan to use as the 12 marker on the clock. If it goes to the right its clockwise and to the left it is counter-clockwise

lay on the floor and look up at it. If it is moving the same direction as a clock it is moving clockwise.

Hold a piece of tissue paper at a corner such that it is near (but not touching) the fan blades.

If the fan lifts the paper toward the ceiling then it is rotating clockwise. This is best for winter.

If the fan pushes the paper toward the floor (causing a breeze) then it is rotating counter clockwise. This is best for summer.

Clean up the area using a good detergent (ie. Lysol, Ammonia) and water. Then, let some of the solution sit on the spot for a few minutes. Wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove the detergent and to dry it. If the odor remains, make a paste of baking soda and put it on the spot. Leave it for some time after it dries. It should remove the last of the smell. If not, mix white vinegar and water and wash the entire floor and the walls, since the odor may be in the entire room.

To remove melted plastic and fabrics, heat at low

setting just until material softens, and scrape off with

a smooth piece of wood, a wooden spatula or half a

clothespin. If some remains, make a paste with baking

soda and water and rub or try silver polish. Wipe off

with damp cloth. For a non-stick soleplate, rub gently

with nylon mesh pad and suds. Acetone or nail polish

remover may remove melted polyester.

To remove wax from clothes, place the fabric in the freezer for a few hours until the wax hardens. Use a dull knife or your fingers to gently scrape off the hardened wax. Then, place a paper towel on the fabric and iron over it to absorb any remaining wax. Finally, launder the garment as usual.

Since kilo means  "thousand" then there would be 1/1000th of a kiloliter in one liter or 0.001 kiloliters = 1.0 liters

To remove stains from white shirts, you can try soaking the shirt in a mixture of water and white vinegar, using a stain remover, or scrubbing the stain with a mixture of baking soda and water. Additionally, you can try bleaching the shirt (if safe for the fabric) or taking it to a professional cleaner for more stubborn stains.

To remove a laundry detergent stain from clothing, first rinse the stained area in cold water to remove excess detergent. Then, apply a stain remover or liquid detergent directly to the stain and gently rub the fabric together. Finally, wash the clothing in the hottest water temperature the fabric can tolerate and check the stain before drying to ensure it is fully removed.

Some examples of items measured in hectoliters include large quantities of liquid food products such as beer, wine, and vegetable oil. They are commonly used in the agricultural and brewing industries to measure bulk quantities of liquids.

Sugar water freezes faster than salt water. However, regular tap water will freeze faster than either salt, or sugar water.

An alum is a form of salt with pale crystals, used in dyeing, tanning, and medicines, or a similar double sulphate in which either or both of the potassium or aluminium is represented by other univalent or tervalent cations.

To remove candle wax from clothes, first place the garment in the freezer to harden the wax. Then, gently scrape off the hardened wax with a blunt knife or spoon. Finally, place a few paper towels over the wax residue and carefully iron over it to absorb the remaining wax.

The speed at which a scented candle burns is influenced by factors like the type of wax, wick size, and fragrance oils used. Generally, candles with softer waxes such as soy or beeswax tend to burn slower than candles made from harder waxes like paraffin. Additionally, candles with thicker wicks may burn faster than those with thinner wicks due to increased fuel consumption.

White candles typically burn faster than colored candles because they are typically made from paraffin wax which burns quicker than the pigments added to colored candles. The pigments in colored candles can slow down the rate of combustion.

Alum is used in vaccines as an adjuvant. Alum is commonly used as a coagulant in water treatment. And its used for domestics water.

You can remove rust stains by using a mixture of lemon juice and salt or a paste made of baking soda and water. Apply the mixture to the affected area and scrub with a brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water after the rust stain has been removed.

I bought a ceiling fan for my front room for $80 (live in Canada) and that old girl has been going for over 10 years! I wouldn't be without one. Go for the ceiling fan as heat rises and it really circulates the air. Also being as cheap as they are you could have one in almost any room you choose to have one in. Ceiling fans are much quieter than a floor or oscillating fan.

Have you heard of Vornado fans? They circulate the air nicely in the whole room and there's no cost for installation in the ceiling. Both costs are comparable, minus installation cost of ceiling fans.

You can also find programmable ceiling fans that will automatically move air with a certain temperature. Remember you can switch the air to downward (winter) and upward (summer) to bring the temperatures to where you want them.

The process takes minimal effort, on your part, and gives amazing results for the time and effort spent. Do not try this on non-porcelain tubs. Plastic tends to be difficult to remove the paper towels from, and the bleach will begin to eat through the plastic very quickly.

Step 1:

Simply layer the tub with a roll of paper towel. Laying it out along the bottom and the sides would be the best idea, with a little overlap to ensure complete coverage. Then slowly pour the bleach straight from the bottle, on to the bottom layer of the paper towel. When you notice the bleach climbing the walls of the paper towel covered tub, pause to see where it ends, and make sure there is a vent or window open. Step out for a brief moment while it continues to climb, this will minimize your exposure to the bleach's caustic effects. Once you determine if more is needed continue to pour the bleach on to the dry areas until every part of the tub is saturated with the towel and bleach combination.

Step 2:

Once you have covered the entire tub, close the bathroom door, and occupy your self in another part of the home. Wait at least an hour to let the bleach strip the porcelain of the stains; however, do not let it go longer than 3 hours, as at that time you will find the paint being stripped as well. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and pull the paper towel from the tub. As you do, the clean shiny tub will be revealed. Continue to pull the paper towel and dispose of it properly, until the tub is empty again. Get your cup and rinse the tub on all sides, thoroughly and wipe down with the cloth, to remove the remainder of the bleach.

When the process is complete, the dingy, ring around the tub, stains, and dirt will be lifted to reveal a beautiful tub.

Some users have suggested using Borax 12 or Bon Ami.

If the tub is very old, it may be made of cast iron and the cracked surface will be the cause of the stains. You cannot improve the look without re-enameling the tub.

The type of dead-end is called a "cul-de-sac" (French for bottom of the sack). The term is also used for closed anatomical passages found in humans and other organisms.

no it is not they are totally different kinds of tape. duck tape tape is much stronger that electric tape.

In architectural terms, a basement is typically not considered to be a full story because it is partially or entirely below ground level. It is often designated as a separate level, but it does not necessarily count as a full story in terms of building regulations or real estate metrics.
