How do you remove thick glue from bottom of glass candle holder?

Heather C asked:


I have a large glass jar that previously had a candle in it. I removed all the excess wax, but now there is this thick glue at the bottom where the wick was. I was always able to remove this glue in other candles with hot water, but for whatever reason, this glue isn’t coming off. I want to use this jar for my wedding for a sand ceremony. I tried using non-acetone nail polish remover which didn’t work. Any ideas?

Ariana asked:


My dog got fleas and sleeps in our room…now it seems that the fleas have invaded our bed. This happened a couple of years ago but I don’t remember how to get rid of them except for a bug bomb and I would like to avoid doing that. We have hardwood floors…I have washed all of the bedding, the rugs on the floor, and her pet bed in hot water. Any other recommendations?

Getting rid of fleas in a bathroom?

yoyoyo asked:


I’m not sure if they’re fleas, but in a bathroom in my office building there are flea-like bugs flying around, we cleaned everything, but they’re still there. How can we get rid of them without using a bomb.
I really have no clue how the fleas got there, what’s a simple way to get rid of them.
Ok then they’re not fleas because they are absolutely flying, not hopping. They’re biting at people and whatnot. They like to hang out on the mirror, and we’ve been burning and drowning them with hot water every 5 minutes and there seems to be less but they’re still there and there are probably eggs somewhere. We can’t use a bomb or an exterminator.

How to cleanse/wash a reusable plastic water bottle?

how to
smllvillefan13 asked:


I have one of those “unbreakable” and tough plastic water bottles that you can reuse for the rest of your life. BUT, I haven’t been using it because it smells weird. If it smells weird, I think it’s dirty. I want to know how to “properly” clean the bottle and thus, getting rid of the funky smell. Besides hot water and a little soap, is there another way?
Thanx!
