prose Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 So, after my wd-40 then dish soap removed set in grease stains, I thought, there must be a million more hints out there! Know any cool ones? Here's another: Spilled wax on a rug? Let it dry, then put some paper towel over the top of it, and iron it with a hot iron with the heat off. Theiron will melt the wax, and the paper towel will absord it. This saved me a BIG mess in my old apartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortnun Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) Use old dryer sheets (fabric softener sheets) to scrub and remove soap scum from your bathtub and sink. Edited April 8, 2006 by shortnun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisChild Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 My aunt who is from Bejing uses Coke when doing stir fry. Aparently it's big in China to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Got this one from my grandmother: Hate the dents in the carpet when you move a piece of furniture? Use a fork and comb the carpet up in the opposite direction that it has been matted down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyWithAFoil Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 about the aluminum or writing... but a good thing to mention is you have to open the bear can first... other wise the can tends to explode.... My dad has done this before... its good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Here's a helpful hint If you have large blood stains on your wall, use a sponge with peroxide. This will break down the proteins in the blood making it easier to clean and it won't leave a permanent stain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
