| RE: Cleaning Stainless Steel Appliances |

Every week I put a little mineral oil on a soft dish cloth that I use just for that purpose, and shine away. I've never had to use anything else, and family members as well as two contracters I've hired, now use it to polish up stainless steel they use. ... View related article. |

| RE: Dog Food Recommendations for Small Dogs |

I use, now, Wellness Super5Mix for small dogs. I almost lost my youngest Pom to problems caused whenever he would eat Beneful healthy weight dog food. Seizures, weakness, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and other things. I found online numerous complaints about Beneful. Since switching, he is back to his old self. ... View related article. |

| RE: Use Shower Curtains for Drapery |
|
My family has done this since the late 80s, and there are pluses to doing it too. Shower curtains help block a lot of the heat/light from sunlight so your rooms may feel cooler, and if you forget and leave your windows open and rain blows in, they act as a protective barrier against the water. Regular curtains would just soak it up. ... View related article. |

| RE: Homemade Clorox Anywhere Cleaner |
You could try starting with a bottle of water and adding bleach a drop at a time until you think it's about the same as the sanitizer.
It would be very hard to duplicate it, since diluted bleach is not stable for very long. The key to Clorox Anywhere Hard Surface spray is balancing the pH to a region that delivers good stability. The concentration of sodium hydrochloride in Clorox Anywhere Hard Surface - spray is 0.0095%. This is significantly lower than the sodium hydrochloride level of 6.0% in many common household bleaches. ... View related article. |

| RE: Treating Cat with Ear Mites |
As odd as it sounds, I accidently discoverd that Purell works. When I found my cat, she had them to the extent her ears and head were bald. The medications from the vets did nothing, and one day I accidently gooshed some purell on her while sanitizing my hands after handling her. The next day a lot of the symptoms were gone, so I started placing a small bit on my finger and massaging it inside of her ears. After a few days they were gone and her hair had started growing back. You must be careful that they cannot lick this, but since it was in her ears I did not expect her to.
I also can confirm that a friend of mine tried this after I persueded her to, and her cat's mites were cleared after a few days. ... View related article. |

Salt/saline solution is very good though at disinfecting. It's a commonly accepted treatment for keeping eyes clear and sterile. I think too it could be allerigies, and a little children's benedryl might help as well. ... View related article. |

| RE: Dog Won't Go Outside at Night |
Also, not to be a doom-sayer, but please have his eyes checked. I speak from experience.
My eight year old Pomeranian, always brave and fearless, started fighting me on going out at night. Every night for three/four weeks was a trial and a fight. I could not understand why she was so reluctant suddenly. Well, finally it stopped, and she started going out again, but at a vet visit I had the surprise of my life when I learned she was totally blind.
The vet said that she was probably going blind during the time going outside at night started bothering her, and that she had fought going out then because everything was scary and dark looking to her, but once she was totally blind, it no longer scared her. I found out she went blind from diabetes too. Another blow.
They can live quite happily, blind, but you never want them to suffer, so better safe than sorry. ... View related article. |
