Replying to: steve_ (Nov 06, 2007 8:28 am) Funny world we live in: - here we clean leather with a soft brush plus natural olive oil soap and water. Lanolin cream will give the shiny aspect. - we clean fabric with plenty of soap and water, sometimes we let stained fabric dry under a thick layer of salt. Salt absorbs many stains. A hard brush will get rid of the residue left on the fabric once dry, - we clean plastics with steam or methanol mixed with deionized water, - we clean glass with tap water and white vinegar,   In fact, we seem to use fewer commercial products. How long and how well do you expect to live when spraying and breathing silicon compounds? Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 06, 2007 2:32 pm) caribou1 (Nov 07, 2007 12:33 am)

Replying to: caribou1 (Nov 06, 2007 12:43 pm) Great point. Some of the film seems to be resistant to the vinegar treatment. Haven't heard of the salt trick before. Replies to this message: caribou1 (Nov 07, 2007 12:33 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 06, 2007 2:32 pm) When a film is resistant to acetic acid (white vinegar), a caustic solution can be used (diluted NaOH). This is fine for glass but plastic and paint will loose their glossy aspect.   Table salt chemically "absorbs water + it's coloration substance" (wet stain) and the steam fabric pocket works by capillarity.   There are cases where you need to freeze a stain in order to "break it off" the fabric: chewing gum, chocolate, toffee...
#9 of 9 thickening wiper fluid by sisaminah Feb 05, 2009 (3:12 pm)
I am puzzled as to why my windshield wiper fluid has thickened like milkshake. Could hard freeze temps be the reason? I live in Mobile, AL, so I expect warmer weather soon.
