Dingy Patio Furniture? Spruce It Up with These Tips

As summer comes and you are ready to enjoy the great outdoors, or at least your Back Porch, you may notice that your patio furniture is not as bright and attractive as it once was. The sun, wind, and dust that your patio furniture is exposed to on a daily basis do quite a number on its looks. If you are looking to learn how to clean patio furniture, here are some tips you should know.

Cleaning Resin or Plastic Patio Furniture

To clean resin or plastic patio furniture that is light in color, make a solution that includes 1-gallon of warm water, three quarters cup of bleach, and 1-tablespoon of laundry soap. If there is any coloring on the furniture, test a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it will not damage the color. If the color brightens but does not become discolored, you can clean the entire piece.

Use the solution and a scrub brush with soft bristles to clean the entire piece. Then, leave the water solution on the furniture for around 15 minutes. Then rinse it thoroughly.

If the furniture is colored, use a solution made out of 1-gallon of warm water and 1-tablespoon of all-purpose cleaner. This eliminates the bleach, which can damage the coloration of the colored furniture. Again, after washing let the solution set on the furniture for around 10 to 15 minutes and rinse completely.

Unfinished Wood Patio Furniture

Unfinished wood furniture is really abused by the elements. One problem you face when cleaning unfinished wood is the fact that it tends to absorb excess water, which can cause it to warp or crack. To avoid this problem, make a solution out of a gallon of water, 1 cup of ammonia, and three quarters cup of vinegar. Scrub down your wood furniture with this solution, and then rinse it completely. After rinsing, use towels to take up any excess water.

Cleaning Patio Furniture Cushions

The cushions on your patio furniture are probably one of the most likely items to need a good cleaning. Most patio furniture pillows and cushions are washable, but check the label before you attempt washing them. If they are, wash them with soapy water and a sponge. Make sure that you rinse them well and wipe them as dry as you can.

Cleaning a Patio Umbrella

Patio umbrellas often grow mold. This happens because they get wet and then sit closed in the warm weather, making a moist, warm environment for mold to grow in. Not only is mold unsightly, but it is also a health hazard, so you need to deal with it.

To clean the mold off of a patio umbrella, make a solution with 1 gallon warm water, a squirt of liquid dish detergent, and three quarters cup of bleach. Test the color first on the inside of the umbrella. If it reacts well to the bleach, open the umbrella, don some rubber gloves, and scrub the umbrella using the solution and a brush with soft bristles. As soon as you are done, rinse the umbrella. If you find that the solution fades the colors on the umbrella, look on the tag to see what cleaning agents you can use. Always let the umbrella dry completely before you close it, as this can cause new mold to develop.

Aluminum Patio Furniture

To clean aluminum furniture, scrub the piece down with a plastic scrubber or steel wool using dish detergent. Put in plenty of elbow grease to make sure you get it good and clean. Rinse the furniture completely to remove all of the soap.

If the furniture is baked on aluminum, use a sponge instead of the plastic scrubber. Soak it with the dishwashing detergent. Work the sponge and the cleaner into the furniture and rinse. Dry it using a cloth and then finish with some car wax. Make sure the car wax does not get on the fabric or webbing on the piece of furniture. This will preserve the finish the furniture.

Can I put outdoor rocks inside my goldfish tank?


I have a 5.5 gallon tank with two goldfish. I can’t pay for decorations, so I was thinking of going outside and getting rocks and piling them in my tank, would this be okay? I’m also in need of some natural cover for my fish, such as plants, but I’m not fond of live ones. Also, would it be possible to build a structure out of Lego and place it in the tank without having it leach chemicals into the water? Thanks.

As long as the rocks are cleaned well, it will be fine. I have some garden rocks in my 55 gal. tank right now. If you are worried, you could always put them in boiling water to be sure. The Lego’s would be fine, as well, as they are non -toxic toys made for children. The problem you may have is that they probably float and may need to be anchored down in some way.

Check Engine Light Nightmares – How To Avoid Auto Mechanics Scams

Going nuts everytime a check engine light goes on, is nothing new. Everyone’s busy and cannot possibly have enough time to go check your car or truck whenever this happens, so you take it with good will to your “loyal” mechanic and he checks it over and a famous one liner that you’ve heard before utters his lips, you know, something like, “Good thing you brought it over, I don’t think it would have lasted another mile.” Or something like that.

Whenever the check engine light goes on, don’t panic. I’ve known several people who’ve had this problem over and over again. Usually it’s a computer problem, or something so simple as needing another gas cap that makes people go into a tizzy. Sometimes the check engine light goes on because something needs attention that shouldn’t wait too.

I know there’s a lot of mechanics out there who are trustworthy, and reliable, and maybe you are perfectly happy when them. And maybe they come running down your driveway everytime the check engine light does come on, but most of the time, the engine has nothing to do with the that light gives you that wallet busting warning.

When a check engine light comes on, the on board usually stores a code that will lead to direction of the malfunction. Consider it a map with treasure being your malfunction. It doesn’t necessarily tell you exactly what is wrong but gives you a code that you (or a technician) can decipher and get to what’s aching your baby. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well before you Indiana Jones wannabes light your torch and go into dark caverns under your hood, get all your facts straight. Just Like Dr. Jones did with his archeological facts, you’ll have to do a little research yourself. Sounds scary? Don’t worry, it’s not. Let’s say the code “p0171, oxygen sensor indicates lean” shows up, causing your check engine light to glow. It doesn’t mean the oxygen sensor is bad, it just means that the oxygen sensor is stuck lean. Now there could be several reasons for this; the engine could be running lean because of a number of problems, or the oxygen sensor is lazy and may actually need to be replaced. However, a bad oxygen sensor should set a oxygen sensor code as well.

Replacing a oxygen sensor sounds less threatening than replacing your transmission, doesn’t it? It’s amazing how many auto mechanics will tell you what’s wrong when a check engine light goes on. It’s become a vital commodity to mechanics, just like a pop up ad on your computer, but they don’t have to pay for this ad.

And research is really not so bad. It’s not like homework, you don’t have to do it, however, if you don’t, and ignore it, you’ll regret it. So how can distinguish what your car needs, and what kind of project it will entail if you can’t trust your mechanic? Well, you can take it to a mechanic when the check engine light goes on, but most mechanics charge jup to hundreds of dollars just to inspect the problem, and you’ll have to add this to fix what that the mechanic has dreamed up, after all, who’s he afraid of, it’s not like you’ve done your research, right? Here is a great way to get your research done before going to the mechanic, so you know what you are in for.

Almost all car repair questions can now be answered online, right at your fingertips. Many websites now offer advice for the average car owner to troubleshoot car problems, so the days of going to one mechanic after another to diagnosis your car problems are over. Sites such as Automtoive Experts Online are dedicated to troubleshoot car problems, such as check engine lights for Honda Accord or Toyota check engine light. This site is designated for safe and reliable auto advice that’s cheap and fast. No one has the time to figure out common car problems on their own, and mechanics can charge up to hundreds of dollars just to tell you what’s wrong. The site is great for car owners who do work themselves, and a life savor for newbies as well.

The site is free to register and join, all questions can be seen for free and registered users bid on answers written by real certified experts. Common questions relating to check engine light for Honda Accord, or Toyota check engine light are often answered within hours. It also guarantees your satisfaction by refunding your deposit 100% if you are not satisfied. It is easy to use and the database of car repair questions is growing.

So before you go out and venture the wild terrain of under your hood, do a little research and go prepared. If you are not mechanically inclined, you owe it to yourself to still do the research so you can go your mechanic prepared, and proud, and say, “My emmisions increased 1.5 times, emitting triple the hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, fix that, and nothing else.” Your mechanic will never look at you the same ever again.

Everything i need to qualify for to join the marines?


im 15 years old and im dead set on joining the United States Marine Corps!! i just need to know what i need to do to be able to join now…im planning on joining my senior year and going to boot camp right after i graduate. i need to know of everything that i have to qualify for to be able to join. i know that i have to take a test called the ‘ASVAB’ but im not exactly positive on anything else. like what kind of grades i need to physical fitness (which i know is very demanding) to college. im planning on after the military at joining the police or border patrol…like if i still need to go to college to do that…or i was thinking on being an auto mechanic which i can start in the military, but what type of college and how many years……im also from Wisconsin if there are any questions that rely on the state that i live in. all of your answers are much appreciated!!!!

The guy who answered before me is absolutely right minus the opinion on what your chosen MOS should be. Also prepare for the Marine PFT. 3-Mile Run; Pullups and Situps. Grades aren’t really a big deal unless you plan on becoming an officer just be sure to graduate. By the way the better shape you’re in the easier Boot Camp will be.

The Underutilized Forest and Wood Biofuel

As people are waiting for “them” to make biofuel available as a source of energy there are many of us who have been using forest biofuel to heat our homes for generations. This biofuel is sold on the free market without government subsidies or a need for more research and development.

Wood can be made into many biofuel products like methane, alcohol, or diesel and it can be burned directly to power electric generators to produce electricity. All of these are expensive and energy intensive. After refining wood into these biofuels the cost and energy used has not made wood biofuel a viable source of energy. The exception to that is burning wood to generate electricity which has experienced some commercial success.

What people often overlook is a form of wood biofuel that requires very little or no processing and that is wood as a heating fuel. While people are waiting for biofuel they are still using fossil fuels to heat their homes when they could switch today to an economically proven biofuel heat source which is to burn wood.

Since there is little or no processing required, direct heating with wood is more efficient than turning wood into another fuel such as diesel or electricity. The raw material is directly converted to the desired product which is heat.

The most basic form of wood biofuel is simple firewood for wood stoves and fireplaces. This is a very desirable form of energy for many homes but it’s not for everyone. Burning firewood does have some disadvantages such as wood handling, it can be messy and can produce smoke. Although modern wood stoves have come a long way in reducing emissions and efficiency. Modern wood stoves can burn with no visible smoke. Burning firewood is not as convenient as other heat sources since you have to continually feed fuel into the fire.

The alternative to fireplaces and firewood stoves is wood pellet stoves. Wood pellets require more processing but pellet stoves are more efficient than firewood stoves so it makes up for the difference. A pellet stove combines the use of renewable biofuel with the convenience of traditional electric, gas or oil heating systems.

Pellet stoves have automatic fuel feeding systems and are thermostatically controlled. Wood pellets are available today and have been proven as a heat source that is competitive and can even cost less than fossil fuels.

Both firewood and wood pellets are available as a practical source of forest biofuel that you can start using today. Which one you choose depends on your situation and preferences.

Learn more about wood pellets and learn more about firewood as biofuels.

I am in the process of trying to figure out my kitchen and breakfast nook remodel for my home. I have decided on a French Country look for the kitchen…..based upon some great Waverly sunflower fabric…..with a cornflower blue background…..and hints of greens and reds with the of course yellow sunflowers……..i am thinking of painting the kitchen walls a buttery yellow…..and the cabinets possibly a sand or blue color…….i have run into a dilemma with my attached breakfast nook………the room is wall to wall wood paneling…..not the cheap stuff…….but still wood paneling…..any suggestions as to colors i should use….and also how to handle the wood paneling…….paint it, pickle it, or leave it?

thanks for the help!
:-)

I would paint the wood french country blue, or a sand color to match your cabinets, you could also do yellow, or just a neutral tan with a yellow trim… good luck mary

What do you think of my table set up for my June 2010 wedding?


I am having my wedding in June 2010. My colours are chocolate brown and hot pink. For the table cloth and I am doing a satin chocolate brown. For the chair covers I am doing a satin chocolate brown. For the chair ties I am doing a hot pink satin. My napkins will be hot pink as well. In the middle of the table I am doing a tall vase filled with water with floating hot pink flowers and a floating candle at the top OR a light at the bottom. Whatever flowers are in the vase I am sprinkling the pedals of them around the vase on the table cloth. ( Im not sure what flowers Im putting in the vase yet ) What do you think? Any suggestions or opinions? Thanks so much!

I think its great!!! In the vase you should put hot pink orchids on vines… they always look beautiful!! This way they go from the top to the bottom, then you can do your floating flowers at the top still…

also, I would watch the petals on the table, they will be hard to match!!
