I’ve two surfaces and no thickness, perhaps that’s what I feel, myself vibrating, I’m the tympanum, on the one hand the mind, on the other the world, I don’t belong to either." The

Laundry Tip For rust stains, squeeze the juice of one lemon on the spot. Sprinkle on some salt and let it set several hours keeping the spot damp with lemon juice. If colorfast, leave in sunlight as this will help the bleaching process. Rinse when the spot has disappeared, and launder according to fabric instructions.

Laundry Tip Fact: 600,0000 tons of chocolate are consumed in the world each year, so it’s probably a good idea to know how to remove it should some fall upon you. Method for removal: Use a dull knife or spoon to remove as much as possible. Rinse the back of the stain with cold water. Rub liquid enzyme detergent into the stain, then soak in cold water for 30 mins or until the stain is loosened. Old, persistent stains may need to be soaked for several hours. Occasionally rub the stain between your thumbs as it soaks. Rinse well and allow to dry. If stain remains, apply laundry presoak and launder.
