Removing Mildew Stains

• Wash down surface covered with mildew.
• Then add one part bleach to 10 parts water solution.
• Re-wet the surface with this mixture, and let stand for 5-10 minutes (depending on the severity of the stain)
• Wipe clean.
• Rinse with clear water.
• TIP/WARNING: NEVER EVER mix bleach and ammonia (Or any Ammonia based cleaner such as Windex,) together as they create a toxic gas. Make sure any time you use bleach or ammonia, you have plenty of ventilation (open a window, door, run a fan)

Removing Oil Stains From Clothes

Get an oil smear on your clothes, and can’t get it out? Try the ole faithful WD40. Lightly spray a little WD40 on the stain (both sides), and then let it set for about 10 minutes before washing. Stains come right out.

WARNING: DO NOT overspray the stain. Just a light mist on the stain is enough.
