Cleaning Tips to Solve Any Crisis
Tackle any household disaster including stained carpets, gunky kitchen appliances, cluttered rooms, and more with easy cleaning tips from Heloise.
By Heloise
Shower Curtain Scum: Put plastic shower curtains and liners in the washing machine, and add a bath towel for scrubbing action, along with your regular amount of detergent. Pop them in the dryer for several minutes or hang to dry.
Bathtub Stains: Put 1/4 cup powdered dishwasher detergent in a glass measuring cup, and add enough water to make a paste; stir with a nonmetal utensil then apply to the stain, scrub lightly, and let set for 20 minutes. Rinse well. If the glaze on the tub has worn off, you may not be able to remove the stain.
Shower Door Soap Buildup: Use a plastic scrubbie or a microfiber cloth dipped in white household vinegar to wipe down the doors, or squeeze cheap shampoo on a plastic scrubber and rub over the area to help dissolve the film. Let sit for a few minutes, then use a squeegee to clean off the residue. Keep a spray bottle filled with vinegar handy and apply when you start to see a haze.
Showerhead Buildup: Remove the showerhead and soak it in white or apple-cider vinegar. If you can't disconnect the showerhead, partially fill a plastic bag with vinegar and tape or tie the top of the bag around the showerhead so the nozzle end is submerged in liquid. Let it sit overnight. The vinegar should dissolve the mineral deposits. Use a toothpick to clear any debris from the holes so the water flows freely.
Grout Stains: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection and mix 3/4 cup household chlorine bleach with 1 gallon water. Use a soft-bristle brush to apply to one small area at a time. Don't let the liquid spatter onto surrounding surfaces. Let it sit for several minutes, then scrub and rinse.
Foggy Bathroom Mirrors: Rub shaving cream or shampoo on the mirror, then wipe it clean. The mirror will not fog up! For those who shave at the sink, the old standby still holds: Grab a hair dryer (turned on high) and aim it at the mirror; the surface will clear up in no time. Turning on the exhaust fan or opening a window or door also helps.
Nonstick Pan Residue: Fill a pan with water to 1 inch from the top and add 1 tablespoon of powdered dishwasher detergent. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. CAUTION: Do not let this boil dry, and turn the exhaust fan on to remove any fumes. Let the mixture cool, then clean with a nonabrasive scrubby or brush.
Greasy Kitchen Cabinets: If the woodwork is finished and washable, remove grease marks with a wood cleaner according to label directions. Follow with polish or wax and buff with a soft cloth. Lightly spray wood-laminate cabinets with a nonabrasive all-purpose cleaner. Leave it on for several seconds (watch for drips), then sponge off. If cabinets are unfinished wood, any substance, even water, could damage the surface. Just rub them with a soft, dry cloth.
Gunky Dishwasher: Remove the utensil holders and racks, check for stuck-on food, then wipe down. Grab a handful of paper towels and press them onto the base of the washer to pick up any shards, bones, metal or food gunk. Add 2 cups of vinegar to the bottom and turn the machine on Energy or Low Wash. Stop mid-wash, so the vinegar can sit on the bottom. Let stand for 20 minutes, then turn on to finish cycle. When done, wipe out the inside.
Spotty Cutlery: Call your local utility or county cooperative extension agent to learn about the "hardness" of your water, which is determined by checking the levels of magnesium and calcium. More than 60 milligrams per liter indicates hard water. To solve the spotting problem, add an additional teaspoon of dish-washing detergent for every 20 milligrams over 60. To ensure spot-free stainless cutlery, be sure it's dried completely; don't leave water on it to spot. It can be brightened by polishing with a cloth soaked in vinegar. Then rinse and buff dry.
Grimy Stove Burners: Wipe grates and burners with a damp sponge. Remove grates and soak in hot, soapy water for 30 minutes. Add a teaspoon of ammonia to the sink water to help loosen grime. Scrub with a stiff brush to remove any remaining gunk.
Stovetops with Burned-On Food: Let the surface cool, then apply a cleanser made specifically for glass tops and wipe the charred area with a paper towel. Gently pry up any gunk with a glass scraper or razor knife, without letting the blade scrape the glass. Then clean the surface again. Never use harsh abrasives on this type of range.
Built-Up Cooking-Spray: Put the dish or pan with the build-up in the sink and spray liberally with oven cleaner (use a cold-oven formula). Let sit for several minutes, then scrub well. You may have to repeat several times to get rid of all the residue.
Dirty Oven: DO NOT HEAT THE OVEN! Place a small bowl of nonsudsy ammonia on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven overnight. The fumes will soften the gunk on the oven walls and floor. But be careful when opening the door the fumes may be strong.
Ink in the Dryer: Use a solution of soap and water to scrub the stains, but unplug the dryer first. Rinse with a damp cloth. If ink spots remain, moisten a clean cloth with all-purpose cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Rub vigorously, then wipe again with a damp cloth. Toss old rags in the dryer and run them through a heat cycle to be sure no remaining ink will stain your next load, but you may still see spots on the drum.
Dirty Dryer: Unplug first. Pull out the filter and remove any lint with a fabric softener sheet, brush or comb. Hold the filter under a faucet: If water beads up or doesn't flow through, there is a buildup of fabric softener. Clean with soap and water and a scrub brush, and allow to dry before putting back in. Use the crevice tool on your vacuum, a bottle brush, or a ruler with a cleaning rag to remove debris down in the lint trap. Last, check the exhaust hose to be sure it's not clogged or deteriorating. Use a damp cloth to wipe off all surfaces.
Melted Gum or Crayon in a Dryer: Put several old towels in the dryer and let it run on Warm for a few minutes to soften the gunk. Then mix a tablespoon of powdered laundry detergent with just enough water to make a thick paste and apply to a clean cloth. Use the cloth to scrub off the gum; go over the entire inside of the dryer. Before drying your next load of clean clothes, run one cycle with several damp rags, just to be certain all the gum or crayon is gone.
Clogged Steam Iron: Before doing anything, read the appliance's user manual or call the manufacturer, as using vinegar to unclog an iron is no longer recommended for many models. Some manufacturers suggest alternating tap and distilled water in the steam compartment to avoid a mineral buildup; others recommend using a specialized cleaning product (available at fabric and grocery stores) to clean the soleplate.
Wax-Stained Carpet: Wait for the wax to cool, then scrape off as much as you can, using a dull knife. Place a couple of white paper towels on the remaining wax and run a warm iron over the area. Repeat the process, using clean towels each time, until all the wax is gone. If wax residue remains, apply a bit of dry-cleaning solvent and blot.
Dirty Fringe on an Oriental Rug: Gently comb out the fringe, then mix 1 tablespoon of nonsudsing ammonia with 8 ounces warm water. With a clean, white cloth or sponge, carefully dab the solution onto the strands. Rinse with a mixture of 1 tablespoon white household vinegar and 8 ounces warm water.
Chocolate-Stained Carpet: Get to those stains fast. Scrape off as much chocolate residue as you can. Then, with a white paper towel or clean cloth, apply dry-cleaning fluid to the stain and blot. If any stain remains, apply a solution of 1/4 teaspoon mild white detergent and 1 cup room-temperature water. Work from the outer edge of the stain to the middle always blotting, not rubbing. Rinse with clear water to remove soap residue.
Scuff Marks on No-Wax Floors: It's so easy: Just grab a paper towel (dry do not wet) and rub away! You don't need to rub very hard, and it comes right up. Don't use anything abrasive on no-wax or other type flooring, as it removes the shine and scratches the surface.
Dog Hair in Carpet: Vacuum vigorously using a brush attachment. Lift up hair with a damp sponge (you can buy sponges geared for this task at pet-supply stores). Swipe a sneaker over the carpet hair will stick to the rubber sole. Roll lengths of cellophane or masking tape around your hand to pick up small amounts of hair.
Ink Cartridge Stains on Carpet: If it's powdery, vacuum first, holding the nozzle above the stain. (Touching the fiber might further grind in the ink.) Then apply a spot remover or carpet cleaner with foaming action to lift the ink. Blot and repeat until the stain is gone, then rinse with water and blot with a dry towel to remove the detergent or cleaning agent residue. If it's liquid, blot as much as possible with a dry towel, and be sure to work from the outer edge toward the center of the spill. Then dampen a clean, white cotton towel with isopropyl alcohol (do not pour alcohol directly onto the carpet), and blot the stain. Repeat until ink is no longer being transferred onto the towel. If there's still a stain, blot with household hydrogen peroxide on a white cotton towel. Rinse thoroughly and let dry overnight.
Crayon-Stained Carpet: If the crayon is soft, freeze it by applying an ice cube wrapped in a small plastic bag, then scrape off the excess crayon. Cover the stain with a clean white cloth and press, using the tip of a warm iron. Repeat, using a clean portion of the cloth until all the wax is transferred from the carpet to the cloth. If a color stain remains, sponge it with a dry-cleaning solvent.
Grey High-Traffic Area: Hit the dingy path with a powdered carpet cleaner. Sprinkle on the powder, then work it in with the included brush. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, and then vacuum.
Set-In Carpet Stains: Find two empty spray bottles, and fill one with cold water. In the other, mix 1/4 teaspoon plain dishwashing liquid and 1 cup warm water. Spray the detergent solution onto an absorbent cloth (not the carpet you don't want to wet it too much), and dab on the spot. As the stain dissolves, blot with a clean section of cloth. Keep applying and blotting until the stain is gone. Spray another cloth with the cold water, and use it to rinse the detergent solution from the carpet; blot with a dry cloth. Then, pile on a stack of white paper towels, and place a heavy pot on top; leave overnight to soak up any residual staining deep in the carpet.
Ash-Stained Carpet: Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on the stain. Let stand at least 1 hour, then vacuum. Using a clean white cloth, sponge with dry-cleaning solvent and blot until the solvent is absorbed. Repeat until the stain disappears. Sponge the carpet to remove the solvent and blot until the liquid is absorbed.
Hair Dye-Stained Carpet: Immediately blot dye with white paper towels. Then, mix 1/4 teaspoon mild dishwashing liquid with 1 cup lukewarm water. Dip a white cloth in the mixture and dab stain from the outside in. Let set a minute, then blot again. You may have to repeat several times. Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with cold water, then blot dry with a clean cloth.
Stinky Shoes (and Feet): Wash and dry feet then spritz with deodorant before putting on socks. Try to use antibacterial soap and soak feet in vinegar for five minutes nightly. Airing out shoes and sprinkling baking soda in them between wearings also helps stop odor.
Musty Closets: Put a few tablespoons of fresh, unused ground coffee into several clean socks and hang them in your closets.
Mold and Mildew: Fill a container with activated charcoal (available at pet supply stores); place in areas affected by mold and mildew, such as the basement or a closet.
Litter Box: Empty litter, pour half an inch of vinegar into the box, and cover with a healthy dose of baking soda (the mixture will bubble). Top with several inches of water and stir. Let box soak for several hours, then drain the liquid and scrub. Wash with hot, soapy water and dry well. Before putting fresh litter into the box, pour a thin layer of baking soda onto the bottom.
Skunked Dog: Mix 1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide with a quarter cup of baking soda and a teaspoon of mild dishwashing liquid. Rub the solution through your dog's fur (avoiding his eyes and ears) and rinse well.
Cat Odor in the Yard: To fight the odor and keep the cat from using the yard as a litter box, hose down the area frequently. Put stones or pinecones in flower beds or other spots that the cat likes. Place motion-activated sprinklers, along the path the cat uses to enter the yard. Scent-based repellent sprays (available at pet stores) also work, but they must be used daily.
Paint Smell: In the past, many paints emitted chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which caused that awful smell. Today's paint formulations contain fewer VOCs, so there's far less odor. Read labels to find paints with low VOC levels.
Freshen Up a Foul-Smelling Fireplace: After sweeping the floor and walls of the inner hearth, pour household vinegar on an old cloth and wipe down the inside surface to help neutralize odor. If the smell returns, a leak in the flue may be letting in moisture, in which case you should call a chimney sweep to provide a thorough inspection and cleaning.
Smelly Dishwasher: Make sure the drain hose is not crimped and remove bits of food and gunk from the bottom of the machine. Pour a gallon of household vinegar in the bottom, let sit for an hour, then run the washer through a full cycle. To help remove hard-water buildup, add a half cup of citric acid powder (available at supermarkets) and run the dishwasher. If the odor is still strong, call a plumber, because it could be a hazardous problem that should be remedied by a pro.
Garbage Patrol: Leave a couple of used fabric softener sheets in the bottom of your kitchen trash can and compactor to absorb odors.
Overpowering Food Odors: To absorb the pungent odor of foods like fish or cabbage, place a small bowl filled with white vinegar on the stove while cooking.
Burned Microwave Popcorn: To speed the process, fill a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 1/2 cups water and three or four chopped lemons along with a fragrant spice, such as cloves. Bring to a boil in the microwave, then leave it to steam inside for 15 minutes until the water cools down and can be removed safely. Leave the door ajar for an hour or so to air out the oven.
Smelly Lunch Box: Place a paper towel dampened with white household vinegar inside. (Alternatively, sprinkle odor-neutralizing baking soda into the bag/box, or stuff with crumpled newspaper to absorb moisture.) Leave overnight. In the morning, discard towel, then wash the bag or box and dry well. When it's not in use, leave the lid open to air out.
Foul Fried Food: Try boiling a cup of water and 1 to 2 tablespoons of vinegar for a few minutes (don't let the pan boil dry). Turn on fans to help dissipate the smell. If the odor lingers, dip a clean dishtowel in full-strength vinegar, wring out the liquid, then wave the cloth around it does the job.
Ice Cube Stink: Ice cubes can absorb odors from uncovered food in the refrigerator or freezer. Always store leftovers in containers with tight-fitting lids and double-wrap any strong-smelling items. Clean up food spills immediately. Also, check to see if a filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. New plumbing connections such as PVC pipes or fittings could also be causing the problem. Fill the icemaker bin several times (toss out the ice) until there's no bad odor or taste.
Raw Meat in Car: If the seat smells, apply a pet-enzyme cleaner (which you can purchase at a pet-supply store). Open doors and windows to air the car out. A portable fan will help blow out the smelly air. If the odor absolutely will not come out, you may have to replace the carpet and upholstery. To avoid this kind of problem in the future, keep an ice cooler or chest in the trunk of your car for trips to the supermarket and place meat inside for the drive home. That way, spills will be contained.
Dirty Piano Keys: If they're plastic, rub with a chamois cloth dipped in vinegar mixed with warm water. But if they're ivory, use a barely damp cloth and a bit of gentle soap to wipe (do not let moisture leak down the sides); dry ASAP. Use another damp cloth for the black keys. Buff with a third, lint-free cloth. Never scrub or use chemicals like rubbing alcohol. Note: Yellowed keys can be cleaned, but not restored to their original whiteness.
Computer Mouse: Unscrew and remove the plastic ring covering the ball and rollers, and clean with a cotton swab dipped in household vinegar, rotating the ball as you wipe. Dry completely with a soft cloth before replacing the plastic cover.
Computer Keyboard: Disconnect and turn the keyboard upside down. Shake gently to dislodge crumbs. Use the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner to push out bits lurking beneath keys. Use a soft, clean makeup brush or paintbrush for additional dusting. Wipe keys with a slightly damp cloth. Lift dirt out of crevices using a cotton swab dampened with a few drops of rubbing alcohol. Let keyboard dry before reconnecting.
Patio Umbrella: Open umbrella and lay on its side. Mix a solution of 3/4 cup liquid bleach and a squirt of liquid dishwashing detergent (make sure to choose one that can be used with chlorine bleach) with 1 gallon warm water. Dab on inside seam first to test colorfastness. Never use bleach on acrylic prints it will cause fading; instead, check manufacturer's label for cleaning instructions. Wear rubber gloves and use a soft-bristle brush to scrub one section at a time. Rinse fabric with a garden hose and dry metal hardware with a cloth. Let fabric dry before placing umbrella in stand.
Mattress: For even wear, rotate the mattress, foot to head, and then turn, or flip over, so the bottom is at the top. While there, use a microfiber cloth to dust the bed frame and box springs. Make sure the screws holding the frame together are secure. Launder mattress pad and check mattress for wear and tear. The average life of a mattress is 10 years, so maybe it's time for a new one.
Diamonds: Combine a squirt of regular (not concentrate) liquid dish-washing detergent, 1 teaspoon ammonia and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. Soak your ring (but not if it contains any soft or semiprecious stones) in the solution for several minutes. Then, with a toothbrush, gently scrub the top and base of the stone and inside the setting. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. (Don't hold it directly over the drain! For extra protection, use a tea strainer or put a paper towel or washcloth over the drain.) To remove any remaining residue, dip the ring in a bowl containing a small amount of household rubbing alcohol. Then buff to a sparkle with a soft cloth.
Plastic Chairs: Mix 3/4 cup household bleach and 1 tablespoon laundry detergent with 1 gallon warm water. (Test the solution on a hidden area to be sure plastic will not discolor.) Wear rubber gloves, and wash chairs with a soft-bristled brush or sponge. Work on one small area at a time. Allow the mixture to remain on the chair for 5 to 15 minutes, then rinse well.
Chandelier Crystals: Turn off the chandelier and let it cool, then cover the floor and nearby furniture with a plastic tablecloth to catch drips. Don't spray cleaner directly onto the fixture it could corrode the metal parts. Instead, put on clean cotton gloves; spray glass cleaner on one and leave the other dry. Go over each crystal with the damp glove, then wipe with the dry one. Be sure to clean the cooled bulbs too. Never rotate a chandelier the wiring could be damaged and you might get a shock.
Sticky Curling Iron: Pour a few drops of rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad or make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water (tap or distilled). Rub over the cool surface of an unplugged iron, then wipe clean with a water-dampened cloth.
Dusty Electronics: To remove dirt, crumbs and pet hair from fax machines, scanners, printers and PCs, turn off the device, unplug it, then gently vacuum the back and the sides. Use the crevice attachment to vacuum the area around the equipment.
Makeup Brushes: First, run water over the bristles, then apply just a drop of shampoo and lather up. Rinse extremely well to get rid of the soap residue, then squeeze out all the water with a towel. Allow brushes to air-dry.
Stained Butcher-Block Counter: Sprinkle salt over light marks, then scrub with the cut side of half a lemon. Let sit overnight, then rinse with water. Dab dark stains with a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution, using a cotton swab. Wipe on a thin coat of mineral oil with a paper towel every few months or apply a nontoxic sealant made for a butcher block. Do not use vegetable oil it may turn rancid.
Coffeemaker: Run white household vinegar through the brew cycle to clean out hard-water buildup, but never use bleach. Then run several cycles of water to eliminate any leftover vinegar before you brew coffee again. You can use a mild bleach-and-water solution to clean the exterior surface of a coffeemaker or filter.
Rusty Cast-Iron Skillet: Use a nonmetallic scrubber to remove the rust, wash with a mild dish soap, rinse well, and dry with a clean towel. Then reseason the surface by coating it (inside and out) with unsalted vegetable shortening. Put the greased skillet upside down on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Let cool, and remove excess grease with a paper towel. To prevent rust, never soak cast iron in water, put it in the dishwasher, or scrub with metal scouring pads or harsh cleansers. Put a paper plate, paper towel, or round coffee filter between stored pans to absorb moisture.
Dry-Clean-Only Curtains: You don't need to buy a kit just put the curtains in the dryer on Air Fluff for 10 minutes. When the machine stops, remove the curtains and shake them out. Rehang the curtains right away so they don't wrinkle. (Don't forget to go back and clean out any pet hair from the dryer's lint trap.)
Hair Spray Residue on Pillowcase: Pour liquid laundry detergent on the cases, rub together and let set about 10 minutes before laundering alone in an empty machine. Use the hottest water the fabric will bear and an extra rinse cycle if possible. DO NOT put in the dryer, but allow to air-dry. Check to see if they are still sticky. If they are, repeat the steps.
Sooty Glass: To prevent soot and creosote buildup, wash glass often with a mix of 1 tablespoon sudsy ammonia to each cup of water. Let sit for several minutes, then wipe off with newsprint or paper towels.
Stickers on Glass: Don't rub or scrub; just cover the sticker with a light oil, like baby, mineral or vegetable, and let set overnight. Lift one corner and slowly pull off. You can also soak the item in hot water, or use a lubricating spray on glass or metal surfaces.
Salty Windows: You can usually remove a light buildup by liberally spraying the windows with full-strength white vinegar (don't get it on the window frames). Let stand for a few minutes, then scrub the panes with a sponge covered with a nylon net or a brush with plastic bristles (not metal). Dry with paper towels or crumpled newspaper. To prevent future buildup, clean the windows as frequently as possible.
Ink-Stained Computer Screen: Make a solution of 1 part 90 percent isopropyl alcohol and 1 part distilled water; gently dab over stain with a cotton swab (don't let any solution drip), then dry with a soft cloth. Don't use window cleaners or citrus-based products, and never apply any cleaner directly to the screen put it on a swab first.
Sticky Electronics: Use a wet wipe to get rid of surface grime from cases (but not screens or keyboards). Clean LCD screens with a dry microfiber cloth paper towels are too abrasive; for stubborn marks, dampen the cloth with a bit of distilled water and a few drops of 90 percent isopropyl alcohol. Wipe keyboards with a damp cloth, then turn the board upside down (after disconnecting) to gently shake out crumbs and debris; lift dirt from keyboard crevices with an alcohol-dampened swab.
Moldy Stuffed Animals: Vacuum or brush them off first. Then, if they are not washable, put in a large plastic bag and add 1/2 to 1 cup of baking soda or cornstarch. Close the bag tightly and shake hard to coat the toys. Let them sit awhile. Take the bag outside and remove the toys. Shake each item to get rid of the white stuff and use a soft hairbrush to finish the job. Leave the clean toys out in the sunlight and fresh air for a few hours before putting them back on the shelf.
Stuck-On Silly Putty: Using a dull knife, gently scrape off as much putty as you can. Then spray a lubricating oil over the area and wait a bit. Spray again and use cotton balls to lift the stain. If anything remains, saturate a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol, blot the area, and rinse with water. If residue remains, apply a dry-cleaning solvent, then launder as you normally would.
Heat Marks On Wood Furniture: For lacquered wooden surfaces, mix a dab of non-gel toothpaste with baking soda to make a paste. Rub gently over the stain until the paste feels warm. Then wipe clean with a damp cloth. You may have to repeat this process several times to lift the mark. Follow with furniture polish or oil.
Water Marks on Wood: Dip a slightly damp cotton cloth in a dollop of real mayonnaise mixed with ashes (cigar or cigarette) and gently rub the mark. Or, make a half-and-half mixture of toothpaste and baking soda. Use a damp cloth to gently rub the paste over the whitish marks. You may have to do this several times to eliminate the rings. Polish the furniture as you normally would.
Dirty Leather Sofa: Dust often, vacuum seat crevices, and wipe up spills with a cloth. If you use a commercial protectant, be sure it's approved for leather. Never use furniture polish, abrasive or alcohol-based cleansers, or saddle soap they contain solvents that can damage the pigmentation.
Wall Marks: First, dust walls and woodwork. Then mix a solution of dish liquid and water 1 to 2 drops per 8 ounces. Dip sponge (it won't damage a painted surface, while a rag can) in solution, wring out, wash one small area at a time, rinse, and let dry. For greasier or tougher marks, use a nonabrasive, all-purpose spray cleaner. Spritz on, let set a minute to give it time to work, then sponge off from the bottom up, so drips won't leave a mark. If the woodwork is varnished, mix 1 part vinegar with 2 parts water to remove fingerprints and dirt. Apply with sponge as above, then dry and polish wood with a soft cloth.
Candle Soot on Walls: First, vacuum the wall with an upholstery attachment to remove as much soot as possible. Add several drops of mild liquid soap to a quart of water, then dip a sponge in the solution and use it to clean the wall. Start with a small area and rinse well before moving to a new section so you don't smear the grime. Avoid placing candles too close to walls high heat can also cause paint to peel.
Cobwebs: To remove cobwebs from high corners, stand on a small step stool or a stepladder and use the wand on the vacuum. Or, put an old sock on a yardstick; secure with rubber bands. Poke it into the area to break up the webs. Or, wrap a tennis ball in a cleaning cloth and gently toss it up. Take care to catch it on its way down so nothing gets damaged.
Sooty Ceiling: Mix a small amount of water with the powdered cleaner TSP (trisodium phosphate; available at paint and home-improvement stores) to make a thick paste and blot it on the stained area only. Be careful not to use too much; soaking could spread the stain. And be sure to test a small area first. This method may not be appropriate for painted surfaces soot removal depends on the type of paint. Check with your local paint and hardware store for specific recommendations.
Greasy Ceiling Fan: First, turn it off. Stand on a stepladder and examine the blade for signs of oil leakage (check the owner's manual to see whether you need to add a squirt of oil to keep the motor running smoothly). To wash a wooden blade, first swab it with a slightly damp rag to prevent dust and dirt from spreading. Then spray an all-purpose cleaner on another rag and wipe clean. (Other finishes may require a different method; check the manual.) Try to dust fans weekly, and clean them thoroughly every six weeks to two months.
Mucky Deck: First, sweep the deck and steps to get rid of dirt, leaves and other debris. Doing this on a regular basis prevents moss and algae buildup, which can make the deck slippery and hard to clean. While many household cleaners can be used on wooden decks, powdered nonchlorine bleach is best. Mix the recommended amount with water, based on the size of your deck. Mop the deck and let the solution sit for about 10 minutes. Then scrub the wood with a long-handled brush and rinse with a garden hose. Do not use chlorine bleach or fungicide, because either could whiten or discolor the wood or ruin the sealant.
Oil-Stained Driveway: Use clay-type cat-box litter to absorb fresh oil stains. Sprinkle it on and then crush with your foot. Or, rub in with a broom and let it set a while. You could also use baking soda or cornstarch which are both very absorbent and will soak up oily stains. If needed, pour some liquid laundry detergent on the area, scrub well with a good stiff brush and rinse off.
Spilled Gasoline in Car: If removable, lift out the padding/carpeting. Soak up all the gas with clay-type cat litter. Call your local fire station for information on disposal of this material (the rules vary by state). The padding should be replaced, but you can treat the carpet with a few drops of dishwashing liquid mixed with water in a spray bottle. Spritz both sides and scrub well with a stiff brush. Rinse with a hose and let dry in the sun. If not removable, treat with a conventional carpet cleaner. Leave the trunk open for a while to help the gas fumes dissipate.

About Me
I have been with Westminster College since the fall of 2010. Prior to coming to Westminster, I taught at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the University of Southern Indiana, Sam Houston State University and Youngstown State University. I teach a wide range of courses here at Westminster, including ceramics, sculpture, contemporary crafts, two and three-dimensional foundations, environmental art and art appreciation/art history. I received degrees in both Art History and Studio Art from the University of Iowa in 2000, and in 2004 received a MFA in Multimedia Art and Ceramics from the University of Florida.
I am an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans sculpture, ceramics, installation, and performance art. My artwork is influenced by Midwestern and rural American culture and landscape. I have exhibited my work both nationally and internationally, most notably at the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art in Athens, Georgia, the New Harmony Gallery for Contemporary Art in New Harmony, Indiana, and the Golden Thread Gallery in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have recently been an artist-in-residence at the Kimmel Nelson Harding Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, Nebraska, the Watershed Center for Ceramic Art in Newcastle, Maine and at Flaxart Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Coldpruf Men's Platinum Pants
Best bang for the buck in long underwear. Perfectly comfortable, durable, warm, and air dry fast. Bought mine from Campmor. Reordered more when I realized how good they were. Made next door in Mexico. Full review
SmartWool Midweight Turtleneck
Luxurious warmth!!!! WOW! I could just leave it at that but I will elaborate. I first bought the SmartWool NTS 250 bottoms, which I love, so when I saw this shirt on sale I couldn't resist. Although both the top and bottoms are NTS 250 the top is much thicker and sooooo soft. I like staying warm outdoors and this shirt has kept me just that! I wear it all winter and bring it along for all my hiking and camping endeavours in the summer as well. I usually sleep in it when I'm at higher elevations… Full review
SmartWool Women's NTS Mid 250 Bottom
These are without a doubt the best long johns I have ever owned! I am 5'7", 125lbs and I bought the mediums. They fit like a glove (well literally as they are next to skin). So comfy and non restricting, you barely notice you have them on. I did a lot of research in my quest for super warm long johns and came to the conclusion that wool was going to be the warmest. I am not disappointed. The waistband is wider so they don't roll down as some other brands do. I love being outdoors but don't like… Full review
First Lite Chama Hoody
My First Lite merino clothing keeps me comfortable in the cold mountain mornings and when I am hiking during the warmer parts of the day. Great for layering or for sleeping in on those cold nights. Pull the hood up, cinch it down for added warmth. The Chama Hoody is a versatile top. It can be used as a base layer on those cold hikes through the woods, or as a stand-alone sweater on those days where a jacket is too much. The hood, with its cinch string, is useful in a cool environment, but you will… Full review
Avalanche Wear Mogul Pant
These pants are incredible. I've worn and washed them 100 times and they still look and feel new. These pants are INCREDIBLE. I have washed and worn them 100 times. Not only have I been wearing them as a base layer under my ski pants but I wear their legging style all winter. Since I live in leggings all year these are perfect for winter because they have a fleece lining and I swear they are wind block (even though I don't think they are). Anyway, I have been reading about other people's pants pilling,… Full review
ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boxer Brief
These might replace every pair of underwear you own. Okay, maybe not at $25 a pair, but they are comfortable, lightweight, incredibly fast at wicking away moisture and quick drying. Yep, they are that good. When I purchased my first pair of these in 2009, I would have said $25 is rather expensive for a pair of underwear and would have listed that as a con. Today, as I see other performance underwear being sold for $30-$50, I realize that $25 is reasonable and well worth the investment. If you're… Full review
Stoic Merino 200 Boxer Brief
Superb. I wouldn't wear anything other than merino underwear for outdoor use year round and these are the best I've bought. I've tried Icebreaker (legs too short and fabric rides up) and SmartWool (not bad). Good midweight fabric here and grips the legs well, but not constrictive in the groin. Full review
Adidas Sport Performance Flex 360 Boxer Brief
Let's talk about my underwear. Awkward, right? OK, let's talk about chaffing. Yea, not any better is it? On the other hand, there really isn't a lot of information available on this touchy and very important subject. So guys, here's my effort to weigh in on the subject with an outstanding option to help solve the issue. Summary: The Adidas flex360 Sport Performance Boxer Brief is comfortable and highly functional as it flexes to your body shape while (1) providing proper male athletic support,… Full review
ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boxer Brief
Only boxer briefs to wear while being active. Best underwear for the outdoors! I wear them hiking, camping, and under my board shorts. They dry fast and even after a few days in Yosemite they kept their shape and didn't stink. Full review

I know exactly what you mean. Accountability and responsibility has been bred out of the past several generations. It goes beyond the usual, where each generation before me always pointed at the next generation as a slacker. In this case, it really has happened. My sisters and every generation thereafter have this sense of entitlement. There is no accountability anymore, I see it everyday in the workplace. There is no "job well done" mentality anymore. No "take pride in your work" attitude. I out perform young men and women 15 plus years my junior on the job on a daily basis.
They don't care either, they really don't. However after the holidays are over, they will as they'll be job hunting again. I was told today that I'll be taking their hours and positions. My managers would rather give me those hours than have all those slackers taking up space. Even my children, despite my teachings, exude these tendencies. One is coming around as she has a job after school but the other two, I fear for their future.

Hall of Famers, fans get together to PLAY Ball
By Craig Muder
Richard Mole and his son Kevin drove more than 300 miles to play ball with the legends on Friday. So there was no way a little rain was going to slow them down.
"This is so great – I'm here listening to Wade Boggs and Ozzie Smith," said Richard Mole, an Andover, Ohio, resident who participated in the Hall of Fame's PLAY Ball event on Friday morning at Doubleday Field. "That's amazing! I can't believe I'm actually here."
Mole, a participant in the Hall of Fame's Membership Program, promised his son more than 20 years ago that they would come to Cooperstown when Rickey Henderson was inducted.
Promise made, promise kept.
PLAY Ball, which raises money for the diversity scholarships for the Hall of Fame's Frank and Peggy Steele Internship Program, gave participants the chance to interact with host Ozzie Smith and fellow Hall of Famers Wade Boggs, Harmon Killebrew and Eddie Murray. Though the skies were cloudy, smiles were everywhere as fans listened to stories from the Hall of Famers and played ball on Doubleday Field.
And a surprise guest visited, too. Tony Kubek, winner of the 2009 Ford C. Frick Award for broadcast excellence, stopped by Doubleday Field and signed autographs for fans. It was a moment that only happens in Cooperstown.
PLAY Ball kicked off Induction Weekend, which features family-friendly events throughout the weekend. For a complete list of events, visit us at www.baseballhall.org.
Joe Gordon, Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as the Class of 2009 at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown.
Craig Muder is director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Sarasota County drainage project faces more delays
Date: January 23, 2013
by: Alex Mahadevan | News Editor
The purchasing advertisement for Beach Road drainage improvements yielded one bid, which was returned unopened by Sarasota County to the contractor before the Jan. 23 due date, according to a capital improvement update from County Engineer Jim Harriott.
The failure to attract competitive bidders is another delay for the plan to expand the retention pond abutting Siesta Key public beach to improve stormwater runoff collection and water quality. Environmental permitting and decisions regarding the scope of the Siesta beach improvements previous delayed the project, which was supposed to begin after Easter.
The project is partially funded by a $975,000 grant from the Southwest Florida Water Management district, which will need an extension if the county re-bids the estimated $1.5 million construction portion of the project.
The drainage improvements will prevent the brown runoff that streaks down the southern portion of Siesta public beach by reaching a pipe from the retention pond into the Gulf of Mexico.

Ivan Brobeck, AWOL Marine in Canada, to Return on Election Dayto Ask President, Congress to Bring the Troops Home
"Since I was not willing to return to Iraq, the only option I saw was to go to Canada. I have spent nearly two years there living, working, and married to my wife (who is six months pregnant). Now I feel that I am ready to return to the US and face the consequences of refusing to participate in a war that I do not believe is right."
U.S. Marine Corps Lance Corporal Ivan Brobeck, 20, of Arlington, Virginia, will return to the United States on election day to ask President Bush and Congress to bring the troops home now.During a tour of duty in Iraq in 2004 Brobeck witnessed instances of abuse of Iraqi detainees and the killing of Iraqi civilians at military checkpoints. He chose Canada over a second tour in a war that he came to see as illegal and contrary to the interests and moral standards of most Americans."I was not willing to go back and fight a war that I did not believe was right, and I didn't want to put myself in a situation where I would possibly kill an innocent civilian," Brobeck explains. "Please, President Bush, do what is right; do everything you can to bring our troops homefrom Iraq."
Ivan Brobeck intends to surrender to military authorities in Washington, DC on election day. He expects to be transferred to Quantico in Virginia where he may face a military court martial for his absence. He is returning in the same spirit that motivated him to enlist at age 17 - a desire to serve his country and to stand for what is right.

A five year-old boy in England recently ran up a $2,500 bill in less than ten minutes in a free game he downloaded off of iTunes. Danny Kitchen had been pestering his parents all day to give him the password to the iTunes account so he could download the free game, Zombies vs Ninja. Ten minutes later, unbeknownst to Mom and Dad Kitchen, they would owe iTunes $2590! Danny, everyone knows not to spend any money on those in app purchases!
The mysterious Vine account is called Assam, and while it is in Japanese and any information about it is negligible, it appears to chronicle the daily existence of an Owl named Kotetsu who lives in an apartment with an unnamed human. Kotetsu is pretty much like your normal apartment pet. He plays, he cuddles, and he takes baths. Except for the fact that he's an OWL WHO LIVES IN AN APARTMENT!!!!!
Last week, beloved actor, director and icon, Leonard Nimoy, died at the age of 83. Now, one design firm in Canada is asking people to create an unusual tribute to the Star Trek actor. All you need is a Canadian 5 dollar bill, and you can turn Canada's seventh Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, into the USS Enterprise's Vulcan Science Officer!
This week, a 21 year-old Scottish girl named Caitlin McNeill posted a photo of a dress to her blog, and asked people to tell her if the dress was white and gold, or blue and black. The only problem? No one can decide, and now the whole internet is fighting about it. The difficult lighting in the photo causes different people to see different colors. So now, we ask you: what color is this dress?
KFC, a restaurant that used to specialize in fried chicken, has unveiled a bizarre new food. It's called the "Scoff-ee Cup", and it's a 100% edible coffee cup. The "Scoff-ee Cup" is an edible coffee cup that's a cookie with a sugar paper lining and a heat resistant layer of white chocolate. The idea is that, as you drink your coffee, the white chocolate melts and sweetens it, while the heat warms the cookie. Unfortunately, for now, the Scoff-ee cups are only available for a limited time at KFC locations in the UK. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
A man in Italy has caught what's believed to be the largest catfish ever reeled in with a rod and line. Dino Ferrari caught the 8-foot 9-inch Wels Catfish in the Po Delta. So what do you do with a fish that big? If you're Dino, you take some pictures and then toss the monster back into the delta.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Ron Paul may be exiting the political stage, but his legions of followers say they are only getting started.
Loyalists of the two-time Republican presidential candidate have quietly taken over key-state GOP organizations, ensuring fights with the GOP establishment as the party tries to heal from its 2012 defeat and laying the groundwork for a future presidential candidate.
Their new relevance, especially in early caucus states Iowa and Nevada, could clear the way for such a candidate, perhaps the Texans' son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. It's the next step in the group's ongoing development, from rambunctious malcontents of just a few years ago into more serious party activists bent on reshaping a party they say has drifted from its conservative roots.

1. Make quilts that you love. Amen to that. Isn't it hard to make something you just don't love?
5. Make quilts that mean something. Leslie made this quilt this spring after going to the Red and White exhibit in New York. This pattern is called Sunny Days and can be found at Geoff's Mom's Patterns (along with many others in this trunk show.)
6. When it comes to colors, there are no 'rules'. Leslie shared the experience of learning to quilt from a master teacher who told her that the quilt she was working on needed more yellow. But she didn't want yellow in the quilt. So when she teaches, she never comments on color or fabric choices. Color is an expression of our own tastes and personality. Don't feel beholden to some color-rule-book. Use what speaks to you and what you love.
You can see more about Leslie's trunk show at Calli's blog as well. Thanks again to Amber for hosting. I was inspired all over again by Leslie's amazing talent, quilts and by her love of this art form. Made me want to go home and lock myself in my basement for a week just start playing with color and fabric.

S4 League Review
By, Omer Altay
It's funny how big MMO publishers Just copy each other, just as every publisher these days has a racing MMO every publisher now also their own shooting game as well. Aeria Games has Wolfteam, Nexon has Combat Arms, IJJI has Soldier Front, Gamers First has War Rock, Netgame has operation7 and now Alaplaya has S4 League. All the small publishers have their own shooting games as well, but there are way too many to list here! Most of these MMO Shooters feel very similar to each other, but S4 League is genuinely different, it's a sci-fi shooter.
Fast paced action
S4 League is a fast paced MMO shooter which got a lot of its jumping on walls and swordplay inspiration from GunZ: The Duel, a game published by IJJI. Although S4 League is a bit slower paced, it still feels a lot like IJJI's GunZ. Blast away your opponents online with a large selection of guns or melee them with a plasma sword. The core gameplay in S4 League is fun and addictive with each match being broken down into two halves, with a small half time break in the middle. The half time break is sort of… random to say the least; you get to watch three robots dancing for 10 seconds or so. If I had to describe S4 League's gameplay in a single word, it would be 'polished'. Everything works as it should and the graphics are great to. The game even has its own original music that fits the fast paced atmosphere of the game.
Nicely varied
S4 League only a handful of game modes, but they're genuinely different. The two most popular are Team Deathmatch and Touchdown. Team Deathmatch is pretty straight forward, one team versus another and the team with the most points at the end of the game wins. The problem with only having one Deathmatch mode is that even if you're an incredibly good player, you won't win if your team sucks. I have nothing against team based games, but it doesn't make sense for S4 League to lack a regular free for all style Deathmatch mode. The second mode is Touchdown mode which is basically capture-the-flag, but with a small twist. Instead of bringing the "flag" or in this case, "a ball" to your own base, you have to bring it to your opponent's base. Whenever a player picks up the ball, their stamina gets drained preventing them from running, which makes it incredibly difficult to actually make it into the enemy base without getting killed. The strategy in touchdown mode is to work with your team, because when the player who has the ball dies, he just drops it on the floor and anyone can pick it up from there. Trying to score by yourself is almost always impossible, because the enemy literally spawns in the exact place you have to try and get the ball to. I'm usually the kind of person that prefers straight up Deathmatch or Team Deatchmatch, but surprisingly, I actually enjoyed S4 League's Touch Down mode because all of the touchdown maps are ridiculously small and putting 12 players in a small area is a recipe for fun. My only real complaint about S4 League's content and variety is the extremely small selection of maps, which will hopefully be updated as the game matures.
Why can't other MMO shooters do this..?
One of the features I love most about S4 League is that the items you purchase in the store last for a set amount of hours while you're logged in. That's right, your items disappear only after X amount of gameplay, no more items disappearing on you if you took a break from the game. I'm sure if you've played other MMO shooters where your weapons & items disappear after a certain numbers you'll appreciate how much better this system is! I can't count how many times I've had to rebuy the same weapons in Nexon's Combat Arms even though I only played for a few hours each week.
I need a LICENSE to use a weapon?!
In order to purchase and use new weapons in S4 League you have to take a license test, which is basically an extremely easy tutorial that explains how to use that new weapon you just bought. The good thing about the license tests is that they're incredibly easy and after you pass them you get the weapon for free for a few hours to use in an actual game, and keep in mind, even if you log off at this point and come back on the next day you can still use the free new gun you got from passing this license test because the weapons only begin disappearing after being logged in for the duration of that weapon. Now, the downsides to the license tests are that they are unnecessarily dragged out. What should take a mere 20 seconds ends up taking several minutes. Feel free to call me impatient, but I don't like having to practice reloading during every single license test, since reloading is always the same button! The license system is surprisingly well done though, because it ensures you know how to use your weapon before you begin playing online and the fact that it gives you the weapon for free for a few hours is great because if you decide you don't like the weapon you didn't waste any money buying it in the first place.
Not again…
S4 League suffers from the same issue most MMOs suffer from, a lack of fun items to purchase in the game's shop. The game has a fair amount of weapons and skills to purchase in the store, but lacks a variety of costumes to buy. To be fair though, Alaplaya has been doing a great job keeping the game up to date, but I'd love to see more costumes and equipment in the store. I simply don't understand why publishers can't put out more items that enhance aesthetics; it just doesn't make sense to have only a handful of items. Hopefully, new content updates will remedy this problem.
Final Verdict: Great
S4 League is a genuinely unique MMO shooter in a world where more and more games are copying each other. The fast paced gameplay is fun and addictive and the game's original music only enhances the game's atmosphere. The only real drawback to S4 League is the few maps currently available and the poor selection of cosmetic items in the game's store.
