Static Electricity, which worsens in the winter, can be improved:
- By misting the “electrified” fabric with a bit of water
- By wetting your hands and lightly wiping the affected areas
- By applying a light mist of anti-static spray
Diluted vinegar is an acid-based cleaner that can do good and bad things:
- White vinegar can clean and disinfect bathroom fixtures and trims
- It can help “neutralize” alkaline products such as ammonia and mild bleaches
- Vinegar can also actually “etch” or “dull” polished limestone and travertine
In a pinch, household fabrics with sheen or a shine can be safely pressed:
- By using a fabric steamer
- By placing a teflon cover over the face of your iron
- By placing a press cloth or a thin fabric between the iron and the garment
Rust marks on cement, shower curtains and metal objects can be removed:
- By applying a product called “Magica” to the affected area
- By being patient and allowing Magica to “seep” into the affected area
- By using a toothbrush to remove heavier rust deposits
