    How do i get a grease stain out of concrete?

    Two years ago, a woman dragged a bag of trash out her door, through a breezeway whos floor is concrete.  She passed by another tenants door leaving a long streak of used cooking oil.  A co.nfrontation accured between the two women, and I intervened and tried to help clean up the mess, but a terrible stain was left.  Since then, both women have moved from the property, but the stain remains.  I am now renting one of the units.  We have an inspection tomorrow and have been told all in our building will recieve a write up if the stain is not cleaned up. We are scrambling to find something that will clean it.  Any ideas?

    How To Deal With Tree Roots In Your Sewer Line?

    You might first be wondering, how do I keep the roots out of the sewer line in the first place? Ultimately the only way is to make sure the pipe stays intact is that it doesn’t get breaks in the first place. But seeing as you can’t even see the pipes that are buried underground, this isn’t something you can do.

    What kind of lettuce is this?

    Favourite answer:

    That's not lettuce, it's kale, which is related to cabbages. It's very winter hardy.

    It's too tough to eat raw, but is tasty steamed or boiled.

    This plant's name please?

    Favourite answer:

    It's not a bluebell of any sort, whether English or Spanish (Spanish bluebells are massive, anyway, so something that size could never be one).

    It's a squill (Scilla species), most likely Siberian squill. It's native to the Caucasus and Turkey, but is grown in all temperate climates as a decorative plant and often becomes naturalised.

    Handwash clothes?

    I had a load of mine and my girlfriend's dirty laundry to do. I live with my family and my sister sleeps in the same room as the washer and dryer (odd, i know, but that's the space we have.) i come with the hamper and see the lights are off and the door is locked. i knock and she calls from her bed that shes sleeping. it is late. i go back and tell my girlfriend that i cant do laundry tonight. she says she needs her clothes for work and school. i offered to handwash them and hang them to dry. she said she was scared they would shrink. id never heard of that so i looked it up and couldn't find anything on it, as well as looking up all the things to be careful about when handwashing clothing. i told her i didn't think they would shrink and id be careful, and asked her what she needed washed. she got pretty upset and wouldn't give me any other explanation why i cant handwash she clothes. she still wants me to wake up my sister to do laundry, and wake her up again ever later to move the clothes from washer to dryer. i think my sister should be able to sleep and its not her fault she shares a room with the washer. what do i do? i dont understand why i cant handwash clothes. am i missing something?

    Risks for repeated light switch flicking?

    I have a sister who has a problem with fidgeting. At some times she would continuously turn on and off a light switch. We tell her to stop, but she wont. At one point, I would hear a small electric buzz when I slowly move the switch up. I’m not sure if it means there is a small electrical problem happening due to my sister’s frequent light switch flickering. Is there is a risk if she continues doing this? Like a spark which could cause a fire, or something that could cut the power, or something similar to that?

    When you have a clothing item you can't wear anymore, do you re-use it for dusting your home or do you throw the shirt away?

    Favourite answer:

    If I need rags I'll cut the item up but if I'm good I make sure the item is washed and then put it in a bag and when it's full it goes to a charity shop (thrift store) that has a deal with rag merchants.  They'll take clothes for ragging as long as they're clean and the bag is clearly labelled.  Before that I used to burn them in the annual garden bonfire to avoid sending them to landfill.  I don't really like shopping so when I find something I like I wear it to death. Most years I discard very few clothes but sometimes they all seem to wear out at once so I need to buy lots or look like a hobo.

    Is porcelain floor tile pet urine proof?

    I know it says water proof but I was thinking about the grout if urine gets on it. Will it be able to be washed off and sanitized? I thought about vinyl flooring but the urine would get into the cracks. I have carpet now and my dog won't stop urinating on it no matter what I do. And no matter how much I clean it it still stinks so bad so I'm sure that is why he keeps going on it. Is there anything better to get than tile?
