Dyeing a Vinyl Purse?
There are paints that work on plastic which are sold in hardware stores, might be Rustoleum? Used for painting plastic flower pots, and outdoor plastic chairs/tables. They work good, I painted some pots with them. I am betting that would work but I think it...
Protein Requirements For Dogs?
I have three scotties, one is ten years old,Kaylee, her daughter, Belle, who is six, and a 1 yr old boy, Jessie James (Jaime, who is their nephew and cousin). I use a really good quality food that works well for all three, solid gold. Originally a German company...
Best Dog Food for Weight Loss?
Trick my scottie breeder taught me and it works! Use your old food, but cut the amount way back. For my scotties who run about 20 lbs it means getting 1/4 cup of their kibble food (we like Solid Gold), TWICE a day, with about a teaspoon of canned food on top...
Does Meat Need to Be Cooked Before Putting in Crockpot?

Stain Remover For Set-In Stains?
I buy and sell vintage linens. Lots of stains, some 50+ years old! Oxyclean works well but I really like Biz powder (there is a liquid but I like powder better). Trick is to fill a bucket with hot water, dissolve a good sized scoop of Biz, stir, and add the...
Mango Stain on Clothing?
This is the reason I dont like polyester, very hard to get stains out of it. With linen, cotton, you can soak and the stains do come out better. I would give it one last try. Get bucket of hot water, pour in scoop of Biz powder and a scoop of tide with bleach...
Tips for Good Smelling Clothing?
I am the opposite, I use unscented detergent and unscented dryer sheets. Hate to be shopping and smell that soap smell on people passing by. Yuk. And I hate when people in the neighborhood throw in a bunch of dryer sheets and cheap flower smell is all over...
Cleaning Wicker Baskets?
I bought a really dirty wicker basket at an auction and had good luck with mild soap, a soft brush, and putting it in a little water in the bathtub. Rinsed it well and put outside to dry. Cleaned it well too.
Stains on an Old Linen Napkin?
I buy and sell vintage linens. The best way to remove even 70+ year old stains is to use Biz powder. This is an enzyme cleaner that removes the coffee, gravy, etc, stains and does not damage the linen. Trick is to soak overnight or longer, Biz will not hurt...
Stains on an Old Linen Napkin?
PS never use bleach, it ruins the fabric and the linens will split into nothing. Eats away at them. Never put bleach anywhere near your vintage linens. These enzyme cleaners are the best thing ever. They beat even the spray ons for recent stains. Trick is the...
Stains on an Old Linen Napkin?
See my other posts. Soak in Biz, hot water until the stain lifts, rinse well and dry in the sun. If the stain is particularily smelly and odd (sort of smells like old gravy), it may be sick linen that is rotten. Soak it and see if the stain removes. Usually...
Is OxiClean Powder Any Good?
I sell vintage linens so see lots of very very old stains. While Oxyclean does work well, I think powdered Biz works better. An overnight soak in hot water and Biz will take out even 70+ year old stains on old linens. Add a scoop of Tide with bleach alternative...
Removing Skunk Smell from House
Yes, yes, yes, if I had not seen the actual skunk (and had to remove the little body) I would never have guessed my scottie got sprayed. it smelled like burnt tires! That was confusing. When skunks get caught on the road, there is always that musky smell, but...
