Safety of Charlie's All-Purpose for Asthmatics?
Comments (6)Hubby is asthmatic, though I have never seen him have an attack, after 30+ years of marriage. But he has great difficulty breathing during certain times of the year when some plants are in bloom and has to sit up in bed all night somethimes, just to breathe. The greatest problem for him is house dust (and with that, dust mites of course). When he cleans out the garage and sweeps it, it takes days before he is breathing normally again. And like most guys, he will not go to the doctor nor take meds, other than a couple of OTC things. Anyway, I agree with the others (though everyone's body is different), that it could very well be the dust and dust mite bodies being stirred up from the deep cleaning--and of course, the pet hair. We cannot have cats or dogs (we are both allergic to them and it never ceases to amaze me how many parents of young children w pet allergies will have pets in the house anyway!). There seems to always be a threshold also. A little dust, OK; but once a certain degree of exposure has reached and it triggers a reaction, then it's time for the Benadryl and Primatene mist inhalor. Naturally, we do not have any carpet in the house either, since it is a permanent magnet for dust and dust mites. Once intalled, it cannot ever be made clean again. So, consider wearing a mask, getting rid of any carpet, and check out the cleaners and products made to kill dust mites (I have to use them for all of our bedding - hubby is that allergic to them, but you may not be having that problem, though they will get in the carpet and cloth furniture also.) Gazoontite.com (sp?) is an excellent source for products and tips on this topic. L...See MoreRan out of CS All Purpose...what else to pretreat?
Comments (12)For ink from a ball-point pen spray it with hair spray (saturate it) and launder as usual. Check the pants after they have been washed. If there is any ink still left, re-spray with the hair spray and wash again. Don't dry the pants in the dryer until the ink is gone. Heat from the dryer will set the ink. I keep an inexpensive spritz bottle of White Rain Hairspray (I think I paid 89-cents for it) in my laundry closet to use on ink. Hubby always has it on something. He writes so much at work he uses a BIC pen until it's dry every 2-3 days.

Comments (17)No Soap: no windex: no retail brands: I bought methods for my hands & for the first time: cleaned the little area around my black galaxy desk at same time. OH NO: looks terrible: I know better! Go on Ebay if you are serious: or look up Hard Rock tools on the web: for store in your area. They sell stone pro. they have a website: and sell on ebay. I love their products: I have granite all over my house: so I can say that I use the daily and the polisher and it's the best: from experience: www.stoneproonline.com also: I have heard that simple green is very safe. Retail brands that say safe: NO false advertising. If you want to keep your granite shinny and looking great: use the correct cleaners. Commercial brand vs. retial. My best advise! for example: daily cleaner has ph of 4.5; and if you buy bottle that you dillute: it's states only use distilled water! when mixing. Grout same way: when mixing grout: should use distilled water: Mapei states that too! It's all about chemical reaction. Polisher is awesome. that is all that I can say!...See Moregraywings123
