| RE: Rust Stains on Wedding Dress |
I sell vintage clothing & I can attest that this works on rust spots--- lemon juice--basically any kind, fresh, bottled, etc. and SUNSHINE! Dab the spots w/ lemon--set out in sunlight. Check after a few hours. Sometimes requires repeated application, but ALWAYS works!
Heres' the hard part.....Afterwards, you will need to rinse the dried lemon out because if stored, it will turn yellowish & leave a bigger area affected. If you can't rinse, you should take to a professional cleaner & do alert them that it has lemon on it in case there's some weird cross-action with their cleaning fluids. ... View related article. |

| RE: Burnt Fabric on Electric Iron |
|
My first thought would be to try alcohol. I'd 1st scrape off as much as possible GENTLY so as not to scratch the surface.Then soak a rag with alcohol & let the iron sit on it for a while to soften the charred remains, then scrape some more? ... View related article. |

| If deeply scratched or they start flaking... |
You REALLY should toss or turn in to your metal recycling plant because minute pieces of the coating get into your food & is poisonous to our bodies.
There's really no way to fix the scratches once it happens. They'd have to be re-fired w/ another coat or whatever, which would be unfeasible for most people. ... View related article. |

| WOW! Tina! Great advice! |
Thanks for ALL the helpful answers, but Tina said...
"In my sauce, I use baking soda and sugar, never do I use oregano for spagetti sauce."
So then I decided to try a little baking soda in my next batch & WOW! .... NO HEARTBURN! Still tasted great! No baking soda taste, just NONE of us got the usual heartburn!
Fantastic tip! Thanks a bunch! ... View related article. |

| RE: Erasing Personal Information from a Shared Computer |
You could always FORMAT drive C with the click of a few buttons..... Now that would erase EVERYTHING (except the operating system, I believe) & the new owners would have to install all their own programs, so may be too drastic for what you want. Just google "reformat Hard Drive" to get the instructions if you want to,

Otherwise, that ERASER program someone previously suggested sounds good & efficient!

| RE: Tips to Curb Cigarette Cravings |
|
Something I heard a long time ago is empty your ashtrys into a glass jar with a lid, add a little water & shake. Whenever you feel a craving, open & take a few big nosefulls. It will be repulsive hopefully, but also the addicted cells/brain or whatever, may derive some satisfaction from the concentrated scent. ... View related article. |

| RE: Freezing Alfredo Sauce |
No expert here, but alfredo made from milk & cheese, flour, etc., will probably be fine to freeze.
Pasta seems be tricky to me. Never really tried it except already-made & mixed up spaghetti.
It may come out as mush when defrosted!
Maybe frozen aldente' then boiled for a few minutes to defrost & complete the cooking process. ... View related article. |

| RE: Removing Stains from Socks |
Just regular bleach but it takes a few minutes to work on stains!
What I do-- Start a stainy white load with a good splash of bleach; after it agitates a few times, I shut it off & piddle around the laundry room for about 5-15 minutes to let it work; as I leave the room, I start it up again. So they get to soak for a few minutes. BTW, store brands are not as effective as Chlorox--EXCEPT the brand sold at ALDI grocery store has worked great for me!
In a nutshell, from my experience, ANY stain must be soaked in order to remove it. Only fresh, minor stains or those 'oil' type stains come out with those convenient, quick shot sprays like Spray 'n Wash, etc. Most other stains, you really have to give a little attention & work on.

| ?? Possibly just LIFTING your current color would be best...? |
I know it's been a month & you've probably remedied your situation or followed the professional's advise previously posted, but years ago, my hairdresser recommended one of those 'stripping' shampoos that's supposed to cut thru styling product build-up when my dyd job came out too dark. It did lift the color just a bit! Also, I hesitate to say it but baking soda also strips hair of buildup, so if you were to mix a spoonful into your shampoo immediately after your bad dye-job, I'd think it could possibly remove any excess dye...?
