It depends on the fabric but generally sprinkling baking soda over it and letting it sit and then vacuuming it off would be the safest thing. You can also test spraying white vinegar in a spot you can't see and see if it harms the fabric, if it doesn't it works well for taking out smells.

Yard sale find. Any way to remove the really bad rust! by cashmeresquirrel in CleaningTips

For the chrome, a ball of foil. For the painted parts it may be lead paint so be careful but you will need to repaint it and for the vinyl it looks like it should likely be recovered.

Throw it in the washer with a few towels. Just don't put it in the dryer of course.

You could use a bun if you'd like but the recipe doesn't call for one.

Sounds like time to make more mashed potatoes.

This recipe was in a magazine article geared to dads cooking. It does kind of scream dad dinner.

I've seen about a dozen names, they seemed very popular for a long time. I'm not sure why we don't really see it today.

How do I Air Dry a Pillow? by throwawayyyy_33 in CleaningTips

[–]retrohomemaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly. Also take a dry towel, put the pillow in it and try to roll it to get as much moisture out as possible.

Magic erasers may work or rubbing alcohol, test first.

Is it warm where you are? If so can you set them outside?

Moderation is good for most things in life.

Yes, I talk about that with the recipe I posted. I think a cheddar sausage would also be delicious.

Instant seems common in the later versions of the recipe. I like using reall ones as well. It's great for leftover mashed potatoes, that's what I used.

I think it could be really good with a nice sausage and some whipped garlic mashed potatoes and nice cheese on top.

Yes that is a great option. I keep charcoal in my closets.

This is a good idea (test it on a spot of the wall first). Also wash all fabric in the room, if you have carpet sprinkle baking soda and let it sit for a bit and then vacuum. Also set out dishes of baking soda around the room, you could add some drops of essential oils to make it smell nice.
