Where can you buy energine spot remover?

Apparently many state governments have outlawed the use of naphtha for household use because it is a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can supposedly affect air quality. Of course, the idea that people cleaning spots has any affect on air quality is ridiculous, but this is what happens when government gets too much power.

The good news is that there are alternatives. You can still buy naphtha for use as a paint thinner. I assume it will work the same as Energine.

You can also buy Folex, which gets very good reviews as a spot remover.

Both are available at Amazon or at hardware stores like Lowes.

Can you brush teeth with stain removing tooth paste after you get your tongue pierced?

Infections, side effects and healing issues are all points you need to discuss with your professional body piercer BEFORE you get the piercing done. You also need to discuss aftercare for the piercing, this should be followed up with written aftercare instructions for your piercing. No professional body piercer will force you to purchase aftercare products, this is a purchase that is up to you and they can only recommend specific products but they can force you to buy what they have.

Listen to what you are told and follow the aftercare to the letter and remember if you are having issues with bumps and lumps or discharge go back to the shop that did the piercing and talk to the piercer. They must help you resolve any healing issues you may be having. Don't solicit advice from anyone who is not a professional body piercer, just because one thing worked for someone else doesn't mean it will work for you. Healing issues need to be looked at first hand so the problem can be recognised and resolved, the Internet is just a guessing game.

How do you get ink out of your carpet using home remedies?

First you must know what type of ink it is. There are two type commonly in use today. Pigmented inks contain other agents that ensure adhesion of the pigment to the surface and prevent it from being removed by mechanical abrasion. These materials are typically referred to as resins (in solvent-based inks) or binding agents (in water-based inks). Dye-based inks are generally much stronger than pigment-based inks and can produce much more color of a given density per unit of mass. However, because dyes are dissolved in the liquid phase, they have a tendency to soak into paper, thus making the ink less efficient and also potentially allowing the ink to bleed at the edges of an image, producing poor quality printing. To remove ink, some experimentation may be required. You will need to try various solvents such as paint thinner, acetone or turpentine applied with a swab. this will give you a good idea if the solvent is working when the ink transfers to the swab. You will also have to observe the fiber to determine if the solvent has caused it to "melt" or shrink substantially. Some carpet fibers are made of polymers that react poorly to solvents.

Once the proper solvent is found, soak the affected area with it and use a brush to scrub the spot and a shop vac to extract the fluid from the carpet. Failing that, you may try soaking the spot and scrubbing the area with a thick terry cloth towel.

There are also a number of commercial products such as "GooGone" and "Oxyclean" that have demonstrated good results.

How can you remove hard water build-up from an above ground pool liner and will muriatic acid hurt the liner?

I also would like to know if it worked. I have an In ground pool with calcium build up and I'm having problems removing it. If you get an answer please let me know, I have tried the acid it did not work, maybe because I was alittle to afraid, a pool company told me to be very careful and not leave it on to long.

In my experience, yes. Muratic acid dissolves hard water build up. However, it will also damage every substance it contacts beyond any repair. Including stainless steel, brass, tile, and glass. Pvc becomes brittle. A vinegar solution may be a better option to try instead of Muratic acid.

I live in Alabama the pool store told me to add 2 gallons of muratic acid to remove water mold then I broadcasted calsaum hardner and it cleared up the water no more water mold and I removed the ladder 2 months later and their is stainless steel bolts in the ladder and they were fine!

How can you remove vomit stains from your carpet?

First remove any solids and gently blot up as much liquid as you can. Apply carpet stain cleaner (test on hidden part of carpet), and let sit for a few minutes. Use a clean, white, cloth and 1 teaspoon mild, non-alkali detergent and 1/2 pint lukewarm water to blot up the rest of the stain and cleaner. If the stain remains, try a solution of 1 tablespoon ammonia and 1 cup warm water to clean the area --again just blot, so you do not spread the stain.

Good answer above. Remember that bluing is a FORM of rust, so rust removing chemicals, such as Naval Jelly, will also strip bluing in a blink.
