Removing tar.
Soften the tar with turpentine or unsalted butter, then treat afterwards with petrol and wash the usual way.
It will take a few washes to completely come out.

House smells of cooking, dog, etc.
Next time you vacuum, add a cotton wool ball soaked with a few drops of aromatherapy oil, like geranium or lavender into your vacuum cleaner bag. The smell will be gone and a beautiful scent has been added.

Spot remover:
Baking Soda always works, so does Club Soda, and white
household vinegar, just pour or sprinkle a generous amount on area, leave Baking Soda on and vacuum up.
For the vinegar and Club Soda just pour on, let it soak and then wipe off and rinse with warm water.

If you burn a pot of rice, place a slice of white or "light" bread on the top of the rice. Let it sit for a few minutes (5-10). The burnt taste will be gone but be sure not to scrape the bottom of the pan

YES, BUT NOW WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE PAN?  ? Firstly remove as much of the burnt food as possible. If it is only slightly burnt on the bottom, put some water into the pan and add quite a lot of salt, soak for an hour, then wash in the usual way. If it is badly burnt, put some water into the pan, add salt, bring to the boil and leave to soak for about twelve hours, bring to the boil again. The debris should wipe off. If this is not the case add more salt and bring to the boil again. Add hot water to the pan with a used fabric softener sheet from your laundry. Let soak and the burnt crust will lift right off. |

Eeeee that made me laugh tears rolling down my legs!!! Yes, as I said me giving computer advice is definately a first and thanks again for the karma, I do try but JJ and Bob are the best really. Trouble is I have only just started becomming interested in computers since I discovered the Forum and am learning different skills all the time. Only sent my first e-mail last week so that's the level I'm at.

Alan is very patient with me, bless and so are you all thank you forum mates, got a lot to thank you all for So sweet of you Jude.............and always remember, we all started somewhere learning ....none of us are perfect and all of us are here to share and help each other in any way we can I hope!!

Are your shoes smelly? Here's a solution. Put some tea leaves into a pair of stockings and stuff each into a shoe. Leave for a day or two and the smell just vanishes.

You can clean grease or ink off your hands using vegetable shortening. Just rub it on your hands and then wash normally with soap. Also, you can clean stubborn stains from clothing. Rub a small amount on the stain and then rinse with club soda.

Baking soda - Removes mildew from small areas. Use to clean tubs and sinks (won't scratch). Makes a great scouring powder: Keep in a jar with shaker top. Excellent for those with chemical allergies.
