Im sorry you ruined your outfit. I know all about bleach malfunctions. (raises hand). Ive learned the hard way if its possible it will happen. Paint. Bleach. Hair dye. You name it. It will jump on me from across the room. Prevention really is easier. As for the hair dye why dont you keep some old beach towels to drape over stuff.
One way to deal with a bleach malfunction is to treat it like art. Take a bleach pen and add some artistic stripes flowers etc. Or do tie dye. Hang it up and lightly spray or fling on bleach. Or do the rubber bands. Another way is to use fabric paint pens. Truthfully tho I just add it to my cleaning clothes.
Ive used Rit Dye for a long time. Ive had some wonderful surprizes and some not so wonderful. When I was a kid I needed to make do. And now that Im older I just need to mess with stuff. Natural fibers like cotton dye best. Dye just rolls off some synthetics.
Dye adds color to what is already there. It wont cover up bleach marks or bad prints. When you dye something that has bleach marks the marks will still be lighter than the rest. You need to beach the whole outfit to a uniform color first. Always test on a seam tho. Sometimes they use synthetic thread. You might bleach something navy blue to light blue and end up with all the nav stitching showing. BTDT. Also some dark colors are overdyed on base colors. You might not like what you get. A lot of blacks are overdyed on olive . Yay me.
And no matter what they say it fades. I use it the most is perking up colors. Every so often I put all my faded green jeans in the washer with some green dye to perk up the color.
FYI. I think I have the color chart with the formulas to make different colors if anybody needs it..
Have been using Weiman's brand since the early 80s. Just clean your shower stall well and after it is dry, apply the lemon oil and rub well . . . it is amazing!
So far, I have been able to find Weiman's at grocery stores.
About the Weimans Lemon Oil... Is this in the cleaning product isle at the supermarket? I'm going to look for it, but I want to know where I should be looking.
Thanks!
I read where you should not use the white filters, as they go thru/ some sort of bleaching process, and this chemical can leach out into coffee. The article said use only the brown filters. Now, I dont know how big of a deal that is, but I did switch to the brown filters.
Not really a household tip, but another use for coffee filters- as a holder for popcorn. We make a big bowl and bring it out while watching TV, using filters for our individual stash.
I use wooden clothespins for chip clips. They're cheap and they work!
