I'm trying to get red dye (from cake) out of a grey shirt. It doesn't belong to me so I need to do it ASAP. Please help.

RE: Self-Watering System

I leave my houseplants, for the summer season, while I go north. I get drycleaning bags, seal the little opening at the top,set the plant or plants,(depending on size) inside (bottom of pot sitting on the sealed hanger opening), water plant, place a glass of extra water next to plant, place stick or pole into pot, pull bag up to top of pole and seal. I secure mine with pipecleaners. Good for 4 months on most of my indoor plants. Little greenhouses!

RE: Self-Watering System

I wasn't sure if you were talking inside or outside plants.

We use to go away for a month in January and I put plants in plastic bags. Hanging plants I used dry cleaner bags.

Tip, watering succulent plants and putting in plastic, I found they rotted.

Works great.

RE: Self-Watering System

While on vacation for "over" two weeks I used the Wicking system. Buy "cotton" rope (soaking it all night in water) put one end in a 5 gallon bucket of water and bury the other end alittle under the soil of the plant. I had good results with mine!

You can check out books on this very thing at your public library. Good Luck!

RE: Cake Dye On Shirt

If it's that important, maybe the best idea would to take it to cleaners and tell them what the stain is. To remove the stain at home, you have to consider the material and the washing instructions. Since it's a food dye, it might be a tough stain for any detergent or cleaner you may have. I would get a professional opinion first. Good luck.
