About how to wash a pressure cooker that got black after cleaning?
I did follow the instructions as how to get rid of the darkness in it from cooking.
It said to add baking soda in water and boil for few minutes; let sit for an hour but I think I left it ther more than an hour and then wash it but after let it there for an hour it is even darker so how do I clean it?
thanksAbout how to wash a pressure cooker that got black after cleaning?
No guarantees but try bringing it to a boil with water, of course, and a couple tablespoons cream of tarter.

Can I use 'softsoap' hand washing soap to clean pieces (or in general the entire cage) in a budgie cage?
Or is that not safe for them?Can I use 'softsoap' hand washing soap to clean pieces (or in general the entire cage) in a budgie cage?
You can use dish soap or hand soap to clean the cage,toys, dishes etc. It will not harm the bird as long as the items are fully rinsed off.
Dishes: Food and water dishes should be washed in hot, soapy water, and dried thoroughly. Do not clean the dishes in areas where food is prepared. To provide more cleaning power, some people wash them in the dishwasher or use a disinfectant. Be sure no trace of soap or disinfectant remains on the dishes. The food dishes need to be absolutely dry before adding food, since damp seed or pellets can quickly mold. To avoid waste, fill the dishes with only the amount the bird will eat until the dishes are cleaned again.
A good alternative is to have two or more sets of dishes, so while one set is being cleaned, the other set can be used in the cage. Stainless steel or high impact plastic dishes are recommended since they clean easily and can withstand repeated washings, hot water, and disinfectants.
If you use a water bottle, use a bottlebrush to clean it thoroughly. Again, having two or more bottles available often makes cleanup easier. Check the bottle to make sure the ball is loose and works properly.
Accessories: If you have a birdbath in the cage, it should be removed, washed in hot soapy water and/or disinfectant, rinsed very well, and refilled with fresh water.
Any accumulations of droppings on perches or toys should be removed.
Remove any seeds or loose droppings from the cage. Scrub the cage with hot soapy water.Can I use 'softsoap' hand washing soap to clean pieces (or in general the entire cage) in a budgie cage?
no no no don't ever use sopas. Just get a clean rag and wipe it down with steamy water. Soaps can kill us.
I don't suggest useing products as human soap, because they have germ killing things that are powerful to germs, and depending on how good your budgies immune system is, that'll depend. If you are looking for something that will help get the built-up of things off, try useing water and poop off cleaner, it works very well.
You need to use hot water and then it is ok. Just be sure it is rinsed very very well.
As long as you rinse it well, I don't think it will do any harm.
I use an old toothbrush and shampoo or soapfree bodywash.
I wouldn't recommend it,however for the cage I found a site that recommends using 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water. An excellent place to ask these sorts of questions is called tailfeathers which deals with birds and I have found it realy helpful.
I don't recommend using soap of any kind to clean your cages. For my budgies and my cockateils I use a sink full of hot water to soak the perches in, then i use a scrub brush (that i don't use for anything else) to clean off the debris with. I then put my parts in the dish drainer to dry. I wipe out their cage with a clean cloth using only hot water also. This is the safest way... I learned the hard way. I accidentally lost one of my budgies when i was a new bird owner by washing their feeding dishes with mild dish soap. I hope this helps you.
I would tend to stay away from hand soaps or spray cleaners. Both can have nasty chemicals in them that may upset the birds. I would actually use Dawn dishwashing soap (SPECIFICLY Dawn, no others) not straight, but mixed with a little water.
The reason I would use that is I know for a fact that it causes the least problems when used on birds. Dawn has been used for de-oiling bird species after an oil spill for over 20 years now, and has proven safe to use.
I suggest you use a mild dishwashing liquid - I know that's safe. and rinse well.
i use water vinigar and a bit of bicarb. i just put it in a spray bottle and use it that way. but when the whole cage needs to be cleaned use hot water instead of cold.
the spray is good for cleaning little accidents around the house.

Is it ok to use the motor/tire cleaner spray at the car wash on my engine?
i would not do it,with all the electronics you will git some water in them and that costs a lot.you should just git a damp rag(water only)and clean it,thats what i doIs it ok to use the motor/tire cleaner spray at the car wash on my engine?
most newer car washes have a engine cleaner setting on the wash sprayer. make sure you cover your coil or distributor cap with a plastic bag or you will wind up removing them to dry them before your car will start also don't let water get into the carb.Is it ok to use the motor/tire cleaner spray at the car wash on my engine?
Dont do it if you want to clean your engine get you a botle of castrol superclean it comes in a purple bottle spray it on your engine and let it set for about 10 minutes or so and spray it off with a water hose just make sure you cover up your coil pack or distributor cap whichever the case may be a plastic bag works great it works great i use it all the time
If you are thinking about cleaning your engine at the car wash then please dont come back here and say the car wont start anymore.

Can you wash feather pillows, or do they need to be dry cleaned?
My mom has a feather pillow that she uses on the couch, and it's gotten a tad smelly from the use, and the cats laying on it.Can you wash feather pillows, or do they need to be dry cleaned?
Care and Storage of Your Pillow
Use a Pillow Protector
Pillows should be covered with pillow protectors in addition to decorative pillowcases. These protectors, which often have a zipper closure, provide you an additional layer between the pillow and a pillowcase.
Washing
If the pillow you have selected is machine washable (check the care label), please follow these easy steps:
Wash with a mild detergent on a warm water/gentle setting
After the wash cycle is complete, rinse the pillow 2 additional times (to rid the pillow of any soap that may still be in the pillow. Then spin the pillow two additional times (to rid the pillow of excess water.)
Dry the pillow completely on a low heat setting. For pillows with internal chambers, you may need to dry the pillow for four to six hours. Between cycles, remove the pillow and hand fluff. Note that pillows may still be damp inside even when they feel dry to the touch. Any lumps or clumps of fill indicates dampness; continue to dry until you are sure there is no moisture left in your pillow.
Between washings, the pillow can be refluffed on an air fluff setting in the dryer. Include a couple of clean tennis balls and a fabric softener sheet for extra fluff and a fresh smell. =)
Scroll down to pillows for more info...Can you wash feather pillows, or do they need to be dry cleaned?
I believe you can wash them they just can not be put in the dryer. My mom washes her feather down blankets all the time, then hangs them to dry outside (when it is not raining).
dry cleaned- same with down comforters
yes you can wash them.just be sure to dry well in the dryer with some tennis balls.it helps to put them in the sun for a while.....
I got this feather pillow from my M-I-L when I was a new bride. I hated it .
the feathers kept sticking my eyes and my cheek :(
I threw it in the washer. some feathers fell out. Happily,
I threw it in the dryer with a tennis shoe ! :)
I must have dried that damn thing for 2 hours
it only lost about a cupful of feathers :(
I am still washing that pillow 2wice a year. and that was 20 years ago. :(
secretly...I think she keeps replacing it every 2 or 3 years..
or is it common for yellow stripes to turn into blue stars???
Okay I work in the drycleaning industry and I know you can wash a feather pillow just make sure that you put it in the dryer and let it dry all the way. When you pull it out of the dryer for the first time smell it, if it smells at all mold-like then keep drying it.
I would not wash it. I did that once to one of my husbands feather pillows and we had to throw it out. have it dry cleaned.
You can wash them at home even though I'm sure the label will tell you not too. Just make sure that the pillow is well sewn up (no holes or loose seams etc) as the last thing you want is an explosion of feathers in your washing machine! Also, make sure that it is completely dry before you bring it back in.

What domestic product (eg washing up liquid/bleach)can I use to clean oil leaks off my drive ?
I have several oil spots on my drive as a result of an oil leak which I did not have chance to fix for several days. Is there a product in my kitchen for example which I can use to clear them away or do I have to get a special type of cleaner?What domestic product (eg washing up liquid/bleach)can I use to clean oil leaks off my drive ?
soap and water for fresh stains, for old ones a solvent like keroseneWhat domestic product (eg washing up liquid/bleach)can I use to clean oil leaks off my drive ?
Make a paste of tide or laundry detergent and water and gob it on the oil stain. The next day wet the area again and scrub with a out door broom or scrub brush. The really black oily stain might take several applications. Then spray with a strong stream of water from a garden hose. Pressure washer will get it out quickly with only a couple drops of dish washing liquid rubbed onto the stain.
Spray spots with WD-40 and wipe clean, or try Brake cleaner witch you can but at auto parts store, spray and wipe clean.
the best and cheapest solution i have ever come across is regular kitty litter( don't buy the stuff for multiple cats). just sprinkle some on the area where you want to get rid of the stain and use the toe of your boot to grind the cat litter into the stain. the cat litter will pull the stain out of concrete and keep it locked in the litter. you can sweep it up and use it again or throw it away.

when i get oil spill at work,i cover the spillage with sawdust,rub it in with a brush,dustpan it up,if you have a carparts shop near,then call in there,they'll have something.
Go to a parts store and buy a bag of floor dry. It will look like cat litter. Pour floor dry on the spots and rub it in with a flat piece of wood. Sweep up the dust and throw it away, works really well.
cat litter helps soak it up
Fairy liquid degreaser neat should do it, if not look for a productg called Teepol.
You could buy a special purpose-designed cleaner, but why bother with that expense when you can cheaply and effectively deal with the spillage using a combination of household items. Try this 4-point plan:
1) Cover the affected areas in a thin sprinkling of table salt
2) Now pour vinegar over this: 2ml per square cm as a rule of thumb
3) Place a piece of bread down over the top of this (white is best) and firmly stamp on it and ground it in with the heel of your shoe
4) Finally, deposit some drops of jam around the spillages (this attracts ants which eat up the rest of the mess and the remains of oil absorbed within)
This method has been used successfully for many years, and is fully compliant with current Environment Agency doctrine.
Hope this is of some little help.
Try jeyes Fluid and a power washer.
Use dish soap, preferably grease cutting Joy, it will bring the oil to the surface and you can just hose it off. May take a tries but it does work.
Try a product called ';SpeedyDry'; available at car parts stores; you may also need to use some muriatic acid (but be careful - that stuff is wicked; it burns holes in clothes, skin and just about everything else!) Good luck!
You need oil dry granules , obtainable from a car parts supplier
Simple-Green or any citrus solvent will strip away oil and grease.
Just pour Cola over the oil stains leave overnight, (not diet) and brush off with hot soapy water the next day...or even better is to use a jet washer....tried and tested and works wonders.
Use washing powder %26amp; hot water and rub with a hard brush
http://mothers.com they carry the best also you can find it at the auto store nearby you.
