Sheesh. Just came in from sunbathing and see that when I lathered myself up

with coconut oil I splashed it all over my favorite tank top and shorts. Any

suggestions on how to get it out? I have a hard time finding tanks and

shorts I like, so I want to save these!

Hi Suze, First treat with mineral spirits rinse out with isopropyl

alcohol then dry well. Spray diluted dishwashing soap on residue and

soak the clothes in an enzyme-detergent before washing. I wish you

were here-- I actually have all that stuff because I'm a freak for

stains.

BTW, my NN stain removal tip for the week is this: use your own

saliva to get out old dry blood stains (if they are yours.) Just

spit on the stain, let it soak in and then watch as it loosens

everything up. Then you just wash regularly...

If it's someone else's blood you need to get them to spit on it..

Well thanks Robin! I wish I were there too, cuz I don't have any of that

stuff. LOL Well, maybe I have some rubbing alcohol and regular dishwashing

soap. Where do you get mineral spirits and an enzyme detergent?

I dunno. I'm out of white vinegar, but need to get some. So maybe I'll give

it a try. Does it work for you?

> Suze Fisher

Hi Suze, Hardware or drugstore for mineral spirits and the enzyme

presoak I use is Zout. I think they sell Zout at Whole Foods now. It's

incredible and may take care of the oil all by itself. It removes

stains from just about anything including red wine. A must-have in my

book.. You just put a dab on the stain and let it soak in a little bit

and then wash away! :-) http://www.zout.com/

Ah, good to know! I'm sure I can get ahold of some borax somewhere. Thanky

Good stuff in your last response. I'm out of town until Friday evening.

I'll get to it when I get back.

Use either 7th generation or Ecover. I like both of them. They work well

and don'thave tons of the bad junk in them.

Suze Fisher

I've only used it once, and it helped on a blood stain. But, AFAIK, it's safe

to use on most fabrics. I use it a lot as a household cleanser.

You use the gel? Not sure I've seen that around, but maybe I'll have to

try it. The 7G powder that I have doesn't get my dishes especially clean

and leaves lots of residue behind.

Yes, we use the gel. Mind you, we have very hard well water, which goes

through carbon paper whole house filter, then water softener. We

haven't had problems with the gel at all. I remember the 7thgen powder

being nasty with residue in the past with the filler clay like stuff

left behind. And that was in another state with city water, lol.

We filter drinking water again with carbon block, btw. We have tested

straight from the well water with in home kits periodically for nasties

and come back negative. Just hardness, iow minerals. But since it is a

well, it's good to check.

Let me know what you think. We always use a bit less than recommended,

but then, we do cookware by hand. <g>

>If the well water is A-OK and has minerals, why filter at all? Just taste?

>

That's a good question. Our copper content is borderline high and our

filter reduces that. All other minerals and contaminants are low; even

fluoride, which occurs in some areas of Texas. Partly, it's habit -

we've filtered since we lived in the Midwest and had repeatedly high

levels of lead, atrazine and nitrates (nitrites? oh I forget, probably

both). Mostly it's fear of the unknown, lol. Water constituents can

vary over time, so it is mainly a just in case measure and copper

reduction.

Since you have city water, do you get an annual report of water quality

from the supplier? Do you filter your water?

I don't put my beloved le creuset in the dishwasher, but I will

definitely let you know if I come across anything that works. FYI, I

do use vinegar in the jet dry to help with spotting and I rinse

everything pretty well before putting it into the dishwasher.

No, I don't get nuttin. I filter my drinking water with a three-stage

gizmo that's unfortunately encased in plastic. It has a Doulton Candle

particulate pre-filter, and then there's granulated carbon (carbon block

would be better), a KDF filter, and a filter that's supposed to remove the

fluoride but worries me because it's made with aluminum. I keep meaning to

send some of my filtered water off to AquaMD for testing. The filter also

feeds my fridge's ice maker, so for whatever the filter is worth, I'm

getting clean ice.
