I can't figure it out, the water pressure is off, the filter is the right size, but I can't get all the way in. We just hooked up the water so this is the first time installing the filter.

How can I fix this discolored patch on my jacket?

Hi guys,

I recently bought this jacket from Stradivarius. It has a waxed effect finish with dark green and olive tones that change depending on the lighting.

After washing it, I noticed that one are became noticeably lighter, as if I had lost some of its color or finish. The care instructions say it’s machine washable at 30 degrees, which I had did.

I wanted to restore it, but I’m not sure how to do it without damaging the fabric further.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Is there any way to restore the original color or waxed effect?

Thanks in advance!!

The cap just spins along with the bottom part. It’s not “tight” enough on the bottle to separate so we can’t get it open. Any recommendations?

Solved! Thanks all for your recommendations

Serious Answers Only How to clean out grime from the inside of shoes

3 Upvotes

Throwaway because Im too embarrassed to have this on main.

I have a pair of platform mary janes that I wear to work. I wore just the shoes without any kind of socks or hosery for like, a year, and my shoes smell BAD. I recently found stockings that work like socks, but everytime I take my shoes off they still stink and there is a layer of grime adhered to the bottom of my socks on the heal and ball of my foot.

Does anyone have any advice to clean these? I cant pull the sole of the shoe out.

[Solved] Can I safely cut this RGB strip?

We're currently assembling this, and we've noticed that the LED light strip is significantly longer than what's shown in the instructions. However, the instructions don't mention trimming it and there are no marked cutting points on the strip to indicate where it would be safe to cut. Is it safe to assume we can trim it to the appropriate length, or would doing so potentially damage the strip?

How to remove this picture from the glass

I have looked at previous posts similar to this and the consensus seemed to be to go to photoshop requests, but I wanted to ask anyway just in case.

This is a high-res digital painting done by somebody on photo paper but whoever put it in the frame used double-sided tape on the back, and there is something sticky on the front that has already caused a small rip.

Is there any Safeway to remove this from the glass? My thought was to submerge in room temperature water for a bit and try to slowly separate. Any advice would be deeply appreciated.

Also, if anyone knows who this artist is, that would be cool.

This countertop ice maker is pretty new. But for some reason after only 2 days of constantly making ice, mold forms. So im assuming its inside the areas i cant reach as well. Am I doin something wrong?

How do I deep clean the innards without damaging it? Idk why it molds over so easily. I use bottled water to fill it.

Thx
