I got an oil spot on a cotton top from food, I washed it and put it through the dryer and the spot is still there. I have read that you can't get it out once it has been in the dryer - help it's my favourite!!!How to remove oil spots from a top that has been through the dryer?
You could try using dawn dishwashing detergent on it -- just use a little and work it through the stain and then rewash the shirt normally.How to remove oil spots from a top that has been through the dryer?
The heat of the dryer does set many stains, but not grease on cotton. As mentioned previously, using Dawn or some other grease release product as a pre-treatment and rewashing should work just fine.
In the laundry isle of most grocery stores they sell special cleaners. There is usually a rack of small bottles (I think they were all yellow) that each have a specific purpose. I cannot remember the exact name but they have them for things like blood, milk, grass, and oil. I also had an oil spot and this is the only thing that got it out. You can also try a dish liquid that cuts grease like Dawn.

When do you start feeling the full effects of fish oil for depression?
I've been taking fish oil for 3 days now and really haven't felt much different. I noticed when I took 2 fish oil soft gels close to each other that i started to feel really drowsy and had a stomach ache. I take 3 or 4 fish oil softgels a day. How long does it take for the full effects to kick in to see if it actually works well?When do you start feeling the full effects of fish oil for depression?
I have never heard of fish oil being used for depression. I take it for heart and joint health. You should probably talk to a DR before using it for depression.When do you start feeling the full effects of fish oil for depression?

How long time can one drive with engine with leaking oil and leaking head gasket?
Maybe it's possible to continue using the car, just not reving too much and adding oil if it goes down?How long time can one drive with engine with leaking oil and leaking head gasket?
You can drive it forever! Nobody has ever had any problem because of that! They all just lie! As long as you have petrol in your car, it will be running, matey!How long time can one drive with engine with leaking oil and leaking head gasket?
You shouldnt drive at all because water doesnt lubricate the metal engine,if the head gasket is gone..is your oil milky colored if so...dont drive it.In a 100 miles it'll be blown
depend on how far you dont have toget it fixed right away you can always us esomethign like block seal if its just leakin but if its blown then you shouldnt drive it i have been driving my lincoln with a leaking head gasket for about 6months it leaks oil too i have been a mechanic for 16 years and will continue to drive it that way until it stops running then fix it most of the people answering question couldnt even begin to understand how a car works so if you continue to put oil in and water and if the leak isnt too bad you can drive it that way for a long time with out gettin it repaired
depends...you doing a ';slick 50'; commercial?
Somewhere between 5 feet and the middle of next week as a guess. It may be reparable now, but if a bearing seizes and puts a rod through the block, it won't be.
You will have to have the engine repaired!performing shows

How to remove oil stains from my driveway?
The stain is only a couple days old and fairly moderate sized, maybe the size of a small towel.How to remove oil stains from my driveway?
Everyone has their own solutions that they swear by and most of them work.
Personally, I just pour some kitty litter on it (cheap stuff will down), grind it in, leave it overnight. I then sweep it up. On fresh stains, that should get a good portion of the stain.
After that, go to the hardware store and find a cleaner designed for getting oil stains out. There are a bunch of them and they all work fairly well.
If you want to use household items, dish or laundry soup work also, but won't have the same results as a dedicated cleaner. Simple Green also works great if you have it.
Some people recommend coke, I've used it and it works to a degree, but almost everything else is better.How to remove oil stains from my driveway?
here is what I found:
Step1
Pour cola on the oily or dry stained areas, and leave the cola on overnight. Squirt a generous amount of dishwashing liquid into a bucket until you have a good lather. Rinse with the soapy water, then with a garden hose.
Step2
Sprinkle baking soda or an absorbent powder such as cornmeal or sawdust on the oily spots. If the stain is dry, wet it first to make a scouring paste. Scrub with a stiff brush or push broom.
Step3
Sprinkle automatic dishwasher detergent on the oily concrete. Leave it for several minutes, then pour boiling water on the stained area. Scrub with a stiff brush or push broom, then rinse.
Step4
Try a commercial concrete cleaner such as Garage and Driveway Cleaner by Red Devil Co. or a grease solvent such as Benzine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Step5
Sprinkle trisodium phosphate (TSP) on the oily concrete. If the stain is dry, wet it first. Let it stand for 30 minutes. Scrub using a stiff broom. TSP is a dangerous product; if you must use it, wear rubber or latex gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing. Also, never wash a TSP product down storm drains.
Step6
As a last resort, combat tough spills with muriatic acid and a pressure washer. Apply the acid following the manufacturer's directions, and let it soak for several seconds. Follow with a pressure washer set at 2,500 to 3,000 lbs. per square inch (psi), or 176 to 211 kg per square cm. Like TSP, muriatic acid is a dangerous product; likewise, if you must use it, wear rubber or latex gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing, and never wash such a product down storm drains.
Step7
After trying any of the strategies above, sprinkle baking soda over the cleaned area to neutralize the solution you've used.
Here an old trick, and I do mean old,we use to use when my dad owned a service station.Pour some kerosene on the spot then take a soap powder,like Tide and sprinkle it on the spot.Scrub and let sit for 10 or 15 minutes.Then wash off with pressure hose or just home water pressure if you don't own high pressure unit.That should do it.It worked wonders in our grease rack.

Do companies use oil base paint, or water base paint to make furniture?
My dining room table is scuffed up, and we want to repaint it. Should we use oil or water base paint? The company is now closed so we cant call to ask them.Do companies use oil base paint, or water base paint to make furniture?
Apply 4 coats of exterior grade oil-bound undercoat to the clean tabletop.
Obtain wetordry paper and using water start rubbing out the brush-strokes until you have a totally smooth surface, allow to dry and apply oil-bound exterior grade paint with a 3'; foam roller.
Heat the paint in boiling water before use
LATER
Sometimes there is a dull finish on painted furniture, in which case use acrylic finish paint which is water based as the final coat.

Does anyone know what will get cooking oil (as in canola oil) stains out of pavement?
I鈥檝e noticed a few splatters on our patio blocks from the deep fryer we use outside. I鈥檝e tried TSP and nothing happened. It鈥檚 starting to look really gross. Any solutions?Does anyone know what will get cooking oil (as in canola oil) stains out of pavement?
Go to your local auto parts store and ask them for some ';dry sweep';. Its fairly cheap and a little goes a long way. Basically all you gotta do is sprinkle it on the stain, grind it in with your foot, think ';Come on Baby.... lets do the TWIST!';. Anyways grind it in, and sweep it up. The oil will get absorbed and all you gotta do is sweep it up. It works. We used to use it all the time in the Marines for cleaning up any and all oil spills from our vehicles, and it has always worked.
If you have any drywall or sheetrock readily available, crumble it up on the stains and do the same, grind it in and sweep it up.Does anyone know what will get cooking oil (as in canola oil) stains out of pavement?
I use TIDE powder clothes soap on automobile oil in the driveway. Try it, it can't hurt. Good luck
Any of the dishwashing liquid soaps (like Dawn or palmolive) that are marked grease fighting will take off some of the stain if you scrub them hard. I would also use Oil Dry or similar, which is what I think another answer says. These are granular items taht you pour over the stain, the grains absorb some of the oil and you sweep them away the next day.
it's really easy sounds stupid, but works, go buy some cheap kitty litter and our it on, leave for a couple days and sweep off, most will be gone, if not all gone, repeat the process. I did this to my side walk where a friends oil leaked oit of her car. Worked perfect.

How do I oil a Singer Touch Tronic 2001 sewing machine?
The manual doesn't give any relevant details, and I know my machine should be oiled regularly. Anyone know how to do this? I'd be most grateful for any help.How do I oil a Singer Touch Tronic 2001 sewing machine?
After looking at the manuals all of the gears appear to be nylon and in this case should not need to be oiled instead I would suggest a small amount of gear grease applied with a q-tip and I believe if you remove the top cover on the machine you can get to all of the gears right there.
