Try folding a paper towel or washcloth to just a little bigger than the stain. Pour white vinegar on it until it is pretty soaked. Leave it set as long as you can, overnight if possible. This will even take off hard water deposits. ... View related article. |

Baking soda should neutralize the odor as well. Mix with water. Use a sponge to wash down the porch. There are products you can buy that are supposed to keep animals away from areas where you don't want them to be. One is called Indoor No and I think another one is Scat! ... View related article. |

| RE: Solanum Melanocerasum - Garden Huckleberry |
" Huckleberries are sometimes called "the poor man's blueberry" - I find that the seeds prevent them from being used for pies or muffins"
Huckleberries make excellent cobblers, pies, & muffins. They are the wild form of the blueberry, but are much more flavorful. I grew up picking huckleberries off bushes in the woods and eating lots of cobblers made from them.
P.S. Native Americans also used poke berries for dye. The juice stains and does not come off with soap and water! ... View related article. |

Solanum melanocerasum
"Garden Huckleberry"
"Sunberry"
Another unusual Solanum for you rare fruit growers! Originating in Africa, "Garden Huckleberry" grows to 3 feet tall and resembles a pepper plant. Each plant bears hundreds of 1/2 in to 3/4 in, dark purple - almost black - berries all Summer long. Though usually grown here as an ornamental, the fruit is edible when cooked & sweetened. The fruit is harvested when it turns from glossy to dull. Easy! Good soil is best.

| RE: Getting Cooking Smell out of Uniforms |
Hi,
Have you tried soaking them in baking soda and/or white vinegar and using the hottest water that is safe for the fabric? The reason the smell doesn't come out of your clothing is that it picks up grease spatters. You have to get the grease out to get rid of the smell. You might also try a product called soda ash. I'm not sure where to get it these days, but it is commonly used on clothing by oilfield workers. Borax is something else you can try, it is found in the laundry product aisle of grocery stores. Or you might try getting hold of some Fulsol, made by Fuller Brush. It is concentrated, so mix it with water and soak the garments. Another thing I have used is waterless hand cleaner to remove grease and it works pretty well. It's also cheap; you can get it for about $1.00 a can at Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store. For a bad spot, I use an old toothbrush to rub it in. Let sit, then wash in the hottest water that is safe for the material. Hope some of these ideas help.

Hi again,
I'm not sure, but this may be the same seller with a new eBay store. They do have tiger blankets with a starting bid of $.01 and a buy-it-now of $34.95. Shipping is $15.00. Here's the link to the eBay store.

| RE: Tiger Throw or Bedspread |
You can do a search on http://www.ebay.com. You can get some great deals there even paying the shipping. I kept the link to one seller who had a lot of Korean mink blankets, (I planned to do some Christmas shopping) but they currently have no items listed. You might keep checking back and find what you are looking for when they list more items. Here's the link to their listings.

| RE: Help, Chlorine Stained My Shirt. |
Hi,
Chlorine doesn't stain. Unfortunately, it removes color. I'm afraid the only options you have is to either get some RIT color remover and bleach the shirt white, or dye the shirt. To get a more even color, it would be wise to bleach it out first. Just follow the directions on the box. RIT may be found at your local grocer or Wal-Mart. The price normally ranges under $2.00 per box. ... View related article. |
