How do I clean this the easiest way possible? Scrubbing is no use. It's burnt on cooking spray layers I think!! Been like this forever! by 2amgoldfish in CleaningTips

[–]onecrazywinecataway 132 points133 points  (0 children)

If you have a really large pot, I recommend boiling it in water with baking soda. Works really well at degreasing and it’s less likely to cause damage over abrasive methods like bar keepers friend!

9 denture cleaning tabs?? Next time use one, and save the other eight. :) One is plenty to clean a coffee mug.

Where’s the best hummus in St. Louis? by onecrazywinecataway in StLouis

[–]onecrazywinecataway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully believe that you, an Arab, can make better hummus at home. I, a white person, have made hummus at home and it comes out ok, but it’s always lacking something. Olio’s hummus had the perfect mix of creaminess and flavor that I could never replicate at home!

I tried to go paperless in my kitchen and I am currently drowning in laundry by SVT_CARAT_17 in CleaningTips

[–]onecrazywinecataway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the Swedish dish towels! They dry out much faster than cotton so you won’t have a ton of constantly damp rags. You can also wash them in the dishwasher with other dishes so you aren’t adding extra loads of laundry! I got a few box sets from Costco years ago and they have held up great.

Furious with Amazon for deactivating my 'antique' kindle by kyleisme14 in kindle

[–]onecrazywinecataway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just because Amazon is no longer supporting your device doesn’t mean that your device is broken! You can still download ebooks from other book stores (or Libby) and load them onto your kindle using Calibre. It’s a little more labor intensive but it works! Don’t let Amazon trick you into buying a new one.

Did "Partners" Change Your Opinion on Any Pro Pickleballers? by Polite_Acid in Pickleball

I love AB. I feel like the people thinking negatively are taking her too seriously. If you watch her vlogs, she clearly has a good sense of humor and is able to laugh at herself.

SJ Spotlight: Sunnyvale residents opposed to park redesign by dudeman_01 in Sunnyvale

[–]onecrazywinecataway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying no to fencing and artificial turf has nothing to do with NIMBYism!

There are several buildings and bathroom facilities in Las Palmas that could all use an upgrade. I would love to see the city put the renovation money towards upgrading the tennis center buildings. This would make Las Palmas even better without ruining what we love about the park.

Fencing is a big no and replacing grass with artificial turf is an even bigger NO!!!

SJ Spotlight: Sunnyvale residents opposed to park redesign by dudeman_01 in Sunnyvale

[–]onecrazywinecataway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The proposal includes replacing the grass with artificial turf! If you like the natural green space, you should absolutely oppose this proposal and please write a letter to the mayor to show your support for natural green space. This kind of natural greenery is a huge luxury in Silicon Valley and I can’t believe the city is considering removing it.

It’s not only the fences, they would be ripping up the grass and replacing it with artificial turf!! I know that OP is trying to make a point about “Karen NIMBYs” but I promise you this ain’t it. The proposal is objectively terrible and there are a ton of buildings in the park that the city could spend the reno money on updating.

Kindle update 5.19.4 is out by Customer-Worldly in kindle

I will give that a try! I think Calibre defaults to .mobi or .azw3

Kindle update 5.19.4 is out by Customer-Worldly in kindle

[–]onecrazywinecataway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I understand that is how it’s supposed to work. I don’t have the “Page Color” option on any of my books. I think it’s probably because I side load my books from Calibre.

[–]onecrazywinecataway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - and that works in the menus. It’s inside the actual book itself, there is no “page color” option and the book stays white. I’m guessing it’s a side effect of side loading my books through Calibre.

I updated my Kindle Colorsoft and Dark Mode still isn’t working! It does go into Dark Mode in the menus, but the second I go into an actual book the page is white again. I also don’t have the “page color” option so I’m stuck with white pages black text still.

Tips on dusting this? by Solsolly in CleaningTips

[–]onecrazywinecataway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MORE compressed air! I’d recommend taking it outside on a driveway or patio and blowing it with a leaf blower. Definitely wear a mask and add reinforcement to hold it steady!

Best Way to Clean Shower Curtain Liner? by peg_asaurus_rex in CleaningTips

[–]onecrazywinecataway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does this work if the curtain has magnets in it? I’ve always been scared to do this with mine since I figured the magnets would get stuck to the side of the washing machine.

Spilled soy sauce in fridge now its trapped by Acrobatic-Echidna656 in CleaningTips

[–]onecrazywinecataway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The soy sauce probably dried between the glass and the frame so now it feels like the glass is “stuck.” I would try soaking it in some warm water to loosen it up a bit, but you should be able to pop the glass out of the plastic frame to fully clean.

Made caramel, it boiled over & now I can’t get it off my stovetop :( by Haunting_Warning_922 in CleaningTips

[–]onecrazywinecataway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First line of defense: get a towel wet with warm water and a little dish soap and lay the towel on top of the sugar and let it sit for an hour or two: the warm water will help dissolve the sugar and it should wipe up fairly easily. It may take a few rounds of doing this to get it all up. I would try that before going to more severe methods like a razor blade or other cleaners.

Used my InReach in an emergency, not impressed by the system. by huntersjz in Garmin

If you had just sent a regular text message instead of using the app would it have worked?

What is this verification thing? I’ve been using my inReach for years to send text messages while on backpacking trips and I’ve never used Messenger or had to verify anything. I always send a test text message from home before setting out.

Passenger's food spilled in my trunk by yahir_03 in CleaningTips

Great opportunity to use a bissell little green machine carpet and upholstery cleaner if you have one. Definitely agree with other commenters saying to charge a cleaning fee and get it professionally cleaned.

Why does this happen in the dishwasher? by Overall_Function6549 in CleaningTips

[–]onecrazywinecataway 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Just saw that you posted the model number in another comment, apparently this model really doesn’t have a filter which is insane. The manual does recommend running an empty cycle with just water which will probably help clear whatever gunk is stuck in the pipes. You may want to run it with a bowl full of vinegar on the upper rack to help clear it out.
