Yet, ANOTHER use for dryer sheets!
This was a piece from my cheapskate.com newsletter I get - and of course this forum came to mind and I had to share

Has anyone mentioned it removes, or at least covers, the smell in shoes?

I'm finding that manufacturers are gradually moving towards price stickers that come off in one piece and leave no residue.

I got a big, fat "you are parking in the wrong spot, a-hole" sticker on my window on monday. Any idea how to get the adhesive off?
And it was my spot. Dunno why they stickered me and haven't even got a response to my e-mail at work asking about this.

So Brewer, they demand that you come in but they won't let you park? Sarah is right.

I think it was a misunderstanding. The parking spot is where we are moving to in a few months, not where we are now. But you can see how much fun I am having just getting here.

I'd recommend you gradually escalate in the solvent war: Start with "Goo Gone" (available in K-Mart, I think auto parts stores carry it), then try rubbing alcohol, mineral spirits ("paint thinner" from hardware store), then try a little gasoline, finally try acetone (nail polish remover). Keep all this stuff off your paint.

Razorblade is indeed the way to get sticky stuff off your windows. They even sell little holders for the blades at the auto counter usually.

If you store your car for long periods of time, 6 months or more, dryer sheets placed in the car, under the hood, and any other place you can think of can help to keep four legged friends from making your car their new home.

A second for Goo-Gone. It is truly a miracle product.
The razor blade first will make it easier, though. |
