How do I know for sure if there is a meth lab in my neighborhood, and if so what can I do to stop it?

blue eyes asked:


I definitely smelled a harsh chemical (like a cleaning agent) outside a home tonight. I live in a nice neighborhood and don’t want this around our kids. What do you think?

How can I clean leather jackets and pants without going to dry cleaners?

lovedoggy asked:


I have a bunch of leather coats, pants, ect, mostly black, some brown, a few sand/tan, and one pink, some have smooth surface, some have the fuzzy surface. I would like to clean them but I don’t want to take them to dry cleaners. Are there things I can buy to clean them myself? I heard there is some kind of home-dry-clean thing that you put in the dryer with the clothes that need to be dry cleaned, and that when it is done, the clothes are dry cleaned. Is there something out there that would allow people to clean leather at home, either in the dryer or by hand? Is it bad for the health, if it is some chemical?
Also, what is the leather conditioner? And how does it work? Can it be done at home? Where to get it?
Lastly, how do they dye the leather pink? my pink fuzzy leather coat needs to be cleaned, and I would also like to dye it pinker if possible.
Thank you very much for helping. I alwasy wonder how they clean leather in dry cleaners.

How can I get rid of these ants with a home remedy?

rachel_chloe04 asked:


I have been dealing with these pesky little things for a while now, I have used store ant killers and those ant bombs and they all work for a little bit but the ants come back. I havent seen an actual trail in the house to follow back. They are all scattered around until they find something they want. Are there any home remedies that work that I can also use on the perimeter of the house? I do have small children and a puppy so I don’t want to use a lot of chemicals, unless its a cleaning chemical that that I use on a daily basis anyway, store ant killers havent been working.

What method of carpet cleaning can be done without damaging fine art paintings?

Peather asked:

I’m arranging carpet cleaning for a customer who has an extensive amount of fine art paintings in his home. Is there a certain method of carpet cleaning that is safe for use around artwork (I’m afraid that steam cleaning or chemicals may damage the artwork), or will we just have to move it all out before the carpets are cleaned?
Thanks

How to DRY CLEAN a comforter at HOME?

dfx asked:


I have allergies and have to wash my bedding every week. I would like to purchase a nice comforter that is dry clean only. Are there home dry clean kits for comforters - like Dryel? I don’t know anything about the kits: how to use them, what they come with, are the bags large enough to fit a KING size comforter. Do they really clean without leaving a harsh chemical odor…?

I ‘d like to know if anyone has had success dry cleaning comforters at home before I buy the bedding. Can anyone answer these questions?

What I really need to know is… are there kits big enough to clean a KING sized comforter? And is there any harsh odor? How did it work for you? Which kits would you recommend?
