Tipsbulletin Edition 32
Dear Tipsbulletin reader,
In today’s Tips Bulletin, we look at some of the most frequently asked questions in the past few weeks.
On most topics like leather cleaning, bed bugs, stink bugs, and washing baseball caps you’ll find long detailed posts, but here is a summary to get some quick answers:
Cleaning Leather
In any shape or form, one of the most common questions we are asked is “How to clean leather“. We cover leather cleaner and conditioner, especially homemade leather cleaner in our post. The post also lists a simple recipe for a leather stain cleaner.
Laundry & Washing
Our next most asked question is regarding washing and laundry. Can you actually “unshrink” shrunken clothes? – The answer is “YES” and we cover the subject of how to unshrink a shirt extensively. If you ever washed your shirt at too high temperatures, this one is for you.
Similar to the unshrinking question, one commentary asked how to wash a ball cap. We explain a variety of ways from washing a baseball cap to cleaning an ordinary hat in our post. It also covers easy tips for washing your hat or cap in the washing machine.
The last area in the laundry category involved washing delicate fabrics. To find out how to wash dark clothes make sure you read our detailed guide. It not only shows you how to was black and dark clothes but also goes into detail on how to keep your dark clothes from fading.
Bugs & Pest Control
We also covered a couple of questions from the “bugs” world. From a simple how to get rid of bed bugs – what home remedies work question, up to a much more severe pest control query on how to repel stink bugs. The stink bugs post is an in-depth guide to dealing with these annoying insects. It includes a recipe for a bug spray and how to build a stink bug trap. Definitely worth checking out.
As always – keep your home and garden clean,
