  How to and quick fixes,   

 

This list will be updated continually.

Downy wrinkle releaser: a fav of stewardess everywhere. although not available outside the U.S. you can make your own.

 1 tsp fabric softener, 1 cup distilled water ( must be distilled)  fine spray bottle.  

 

Mildew remover:  warning, wear gloves and work outside if possible, avoid breathing fumes.

1 gallon water, 1 cup laundry soap, 1 cup bleach, 1 cup vinegar. 

 

Bronze cleaner: vinegar and salt.

 

Barnacle remover from dinghy:  "Lime Away".  wear gloves !!! (it will disolve your fingernails otherwise, painful)

 

How to remove a broken bolt: purchase correct size " Bolt off" from Sears,

use large C-clamp to compress  on "Bolt off"on broken bolt,  instead of trying to pound on with hammer.

works every time. for us, better grip, less effort.
