How do you remove the scent of conventional clothes detergent from second hand clothes?
Q. I am sensitive to chemicals and need to know how to remove the residue of conventional clothes detergent from second hand clothes I buy without using any more chemicals! I have tried washing the items multiple times in a natural clothes detergent but with no success - the item still reeks of the problem detergent. Dry cleaning is out of the question due to all the chemicals. Please let me know if you have the answer :)

A. You simply pour in one cup of White Vinegar into the hottest water your clothes can handle and set washer on full cycle do not use any detergent or softner as this will lessen the vinegar effect and vinegar also softens there is no need for softner, pour into your fabric softner white vinegar for the rinse cycle also as this will take out what the washing did not remove, your clothes will come out like new and refreshed odor free and soft will all the detergent residue removed vinegar also removes lint and is safe for your whole washing, you can use this as a replacement for fabric softner in every load if desired no fabric softner needed and much less expensive than fabric softner Vinegar will not cause allergies or hurt skin it is… [cont.]

Q. LED lighting uses much less electricity than normal lighting, doesn't it? So, why isn't it used instead of conventional lighting?

How do I switch from conventional motor oil to full synthetic in a high mileage Civic?
Q. My wife has a 1998 Civic, which is running strong with about 120k miles. I've been thinking that I'd like to switch the motor oil over to a synthetic, but I've heard stories from people that it can be tricky. From what I understand, a simple switch from conventional motor oil to synthetic can cause a loss in power and it could unseat the piston seals. My question is this: how would I go about switching this car from conventional motor oil to full synthetic? I have an idea, but I'd like some others' feedback. If I were to start by using one quart synthetic, 3 quarts conventional (the same brand, same weight) for an oil change. The next would be 2 and 2. After that, I'd do 3 quarts synthetic, one quart conventional. Finally, a full… [cont.]

A. Just drain all the old oil out and get a new filter and add the synthetic is all you have to do, DON'T mix regular oil with synthetic, you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever unless your car uses oil or leaks it as if it does it will use it or leak it a lot faster.
