Paint Thinner in Laundry........HELP
Twiggyish | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 05:52 pm     How about soaking in Dawn dish soap? If it's oil based Dawn will break it up. Just a thought. |
Hippyt | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 06:26 pm     And Ms.Bat VERY Important,when you use the ammonia,be VERY,VERY sure whatever soap you use does not have bleach in it!!!!!! It makes toxic gas! A guy did this at a resturant I used to work, in the mop bucket one night,and everyone ended up in the hospital!(Glad I wasn't there) |

Halfunit | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 06:40 pm     Hippy - I did it in my own bathroom, lol.... I was trying to get rid of a slow/clogged drain in the tub. Drano (the fizzy kind), Liquid Plummer, Bleach.... all at the same time. I was gagging, coughing, and tears were rolling down my face. DH was working and stopped home, only to fine me trying to use a plunger in the tub with a towel over my face. He yelled at me to get the hell out of the house, as he could smell a "chemical factory" when he got out of the cruiser in the driveway....OUTSIDE!! I am a ding-a-ling!! We finally did open the drain up. Had to borrow a little snake and open up the pipes in the basement. Big 'ole wad of my hair, lol... |
Squaredsc | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 06:45 pm     i really have nothing to add to this conversation, just a little aubergine.  |
Fruitbat | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 06:53 pm     awwwwwwwwww geeeeeeeeeee thanks Square. I hate any shade of purple but I do love you! I like Gramns mint green deal. |
Hippyt | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 06:57 pm     Dang Half ,You were lucky he showed up!!!! That could have turned very serious! |
Halfunit | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 07:03 pm     Yes Hippy... I haven't played chemistry since, and have no plans to do so in the future. |
Squaredsc | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 07:08 pm     oh 1/2, ms. bat this is as close to mint green as i could get.  |
Grooch | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Back off, Bat. Green is my and Martha's color. |
Fruitbat | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 08:12 am     Thanks for the help, everyone. I hurled everything outside in the screen house last night and will leave it there until Spring. Then I will try the all the tips listed here. The Scarlett O'Hara approach. |
Fruitbat | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 08:13 am     Grooch, I love green. It is my favorite too. Thanks Square, close enough. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 07:13 pm     Grooch weren't you the one that posted that evil picture of Martha at one time? hmmmmmm |
Weinermr | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 07:48 pm     I like Martha. |
Cmore | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 11:49 pm     Goop a men's hand cleaner works well for those sort of things. Just add a cup or so to your laundry. Goop doesn't smell very well either, but it will break down the thinner and the smell usually goes away in the dryer with some bounce. |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 05:10 am     Goop smells horrible! |
Fruitbat | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 08:46 am     Aroma threapy, Goop is not. But boy does it work well. Thanks Cmore. |
