I bought the proper products recommended by the Holloway company, but unfortunately they didn't work. I even used a brush with the product, but no dirt came up, which is really weird because when I just just a damp cloth, I get plenty of dirt. I guess I could continue to clean with water, but that's not really a good idea I think. Anybody else have good ideas out there? Thank you! ... View related article.
Ok, my niece did this for her boyfriend and he loved it. He also has the means to buy whatever he wants, thank God.
This is what she did. She took a photograph of the street on which they first met. She was fixed up by a friend and didn't want him to come to her house in case he was a lunatic. So they agreed to meet at cross streets in Manhattan. On his birthday she took a photo of the street, framed it and gave it to him. He immediately knew what it was, and what she meant. They just got married in October.
I think it was so romantic, and even more so that he didn't look at the picture and have to take 15 minutes to figure out what in the world it was. Maybe you could do that for your boyfriend. My niece's ideas was giving a gift that was priceless. Hope you will find something special for him. There are so many good people on this site who are so clever and creative! Have a fun time celebrating! ... View related article.
They even sell those kind of ornaments lah34a recommended. I say this because I am untalented with crafty things.
I was thinking about something. I bought little - about 3-4" stockings that I used to put my knife, fork and spoon in by each table place setting at the dinner table. I thought it looked cute, but I got negative reviews from the rest of my family.
Maybe you could use them. Maybe you could put their initials on the stockings with Elmer's glue and then while the glue is still wet, sprinkle shiny sparkly things on the glue and let set till it dries.
They also sell decorative boxes at Pier One Imports, they may have a website, and the boxes are all fancy, either with sparkles, sequins, mirrors on them and other stuff. I've bought them to give jewelry in. You could wrap the money/check in coordinating tissue paper and then put it in the box.
You could have an Easter egg hunt for them. I don't know how many children you have though; it would be fun with more than one child, no matter how old they are. You could tell them if they're 'hot' if they get near your hiding place, or 'cold' if they're away from it. Like make a game of it.
I love the Idea of the Pinata and the treasure hunt with clues and the gloves - much more creative than mine, I'm afraid!
Also, have you tried Barkeeper's Friend? I use it on my kitchen sink, otherwise called, spawn of Satan, because the porcelain sink stains when you just look at it.
I buy it at Kroger, my local grocery store, but I bet Target-like stores have it too.
I tried everything on it including soaking it in bleach, most of the products you tried; no luck.
Then I read about Barkeepers's Friend and it worked. Plus I found out today that it got rid of hardwater stains in my husband's bathroom. Don't ask me, he's the only one who gets hard water stains in his commode. Well it worked! and believe me, I tried everything and anything, even CLR and that type of thing, with no luck.
But someone on this site said not to use bleach in the commode for hard water stains - it will set them. Yes, I read this bit of advice AFTER I used bleach in my commode.
I'm not saying that bleach will set the stains in your grout, but I'd try a small section first.
Did you try CLR? I know it's for hard water stains, but really it seems like you've tried everything.
Did you try fresh lemon juice? Try a small area, let it sit (you will probably have to experiment with how long it should stay on the grout), rinse and see what happens. There's a show on the BBC Channel called 'how clean is your house?' and those two women who clean are forever coming up with ways to clean things with lemons.
Or, see if Hints from Heloise - I don't know if you remember, but she had a newspaper column where you could send your cleaning questions to - see if she has a website and ask her.
Wait! Email Martha Stewart's web and I feel sure that woman can solve anything.
Maybe you can buy a white grout pen like at Home Depot kind of hardware store (is the tile supposed to be white in the first place?)
Then if and hope and pray it worked, I'd re-seal the grout. I know we were told by our contracter that tile grout has to be re-sealed every 2-3 years. You can buy the sealer at Home Depot stores.
I'd do the same on the grout that you were able to turn white again; maybe it will keep it white and you won't have to go through the grief again of grout issues, which I personally hate.
I'm just thinking that once you get it white (again, if it's supposed to be white) you can seal it and maybe it would stay white.
You know, I just thought of something. Go to a tile store, the kind where you buy the tile and they install it for you. I bet there's someone there that can recommend a product for you or could at least tell you what's going on with your weird grout.
Or ask someone at Home Depot. Really, you'll have to get lucky there because the Home Depot by us has most of their employees straight from high school who not only haven't a clue, but don't want one either.
I don't have anything particularly special, but when I make regular pumpkin pie I never buy the pumpkin pie filling. I like to add my own spices.
I think my sister said she she had a recipe for pumpkin ravioli, which I thought sounded disgusting, but she says it's delicious. Will see if I can still find it; I might have thrown it out because I didn't believe her! ... View related article.
I don't know exactly, but there is a product called Incredible and I buy it at my local Kroger grocery store in Houston, Texas USA.
It got eyeliner pencil out of almost white carpeting in a condo I was renting. I sweated that one out, I can tell you.
The only other thing I can think of - and I'd try it in a tiny part of your carpet first - is aerosol hairspray. It gets out ink from clothing I know that. Maybe you have a leftover piece of your carpet from after it was installed and you can test the hairspray on that piece.
I've ordered Elf Cosmetics on Drugstore.com and liked them very much. Plus you can earn dollars depending on how much/what you buy, and then you can apply it to your order.
Plus no tax and free shipping over $50 which is a normal trip to Walgreens, Target and Walmart for me! I liked Elf and I ordered some of their brushes too. I'd buy their brand again - through Drugstore.com ... View related article.
