Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] valuable housekeeping tip

["Christian M. Cepel" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I still remember when I spilled my iron on the carpet and was at a loss on how to get it up.  I finally put a paper towel over it and poured about a cup of heated paraffin on it and it came right up like a dream.  It didn't even leave a mark.  I'm a lot more careful when I iron clothes now, but not as pessimistic if the worst happens and I do fumble things again.

 I always knew that wine and club soda cancelled each other out.  Can red
 wine also remove salt from a carpet?  ;-)
    

It stands to reason. Shoot, that stuff's as useful as bleach!
