How to get hair dye out of clothes
Note: The sooner you work on removing the hair dye stain, the better results you’ll have. You should wear disposable rubber gloves so they do not get into your skin.
First and foremost, check the label on the garment. These instructions will keep you from looking like a fool and keep you from making an irreversible mistake. Unless the label on the garment tells you otherwise, chlorine bleach is usually safe for most textiles; you can put it in a washer, unlike wool which requires special care and should be kept from chlorine bleach.
If your label shows the “dry cleaning Only” symbol (a circle) , there is only one thing for you to do.
Head to your local dry cleaner after you have checked out the reviews on google or yelp.
Make sure you take the information regarding what kind of dye was used and point out the hair dye stain or stains to the expert dry cleaner at the establishment.
For all others.
- if you have alcohol handy, rinse the hair dye stain with it. If not, use cold water. Make sure you have isolated the stained area from the rest of the garment; in other words, you are just working on the stained area and keeping the rest of the garment from comingling with anything you are doing to this stained area.
Place an old rag or tower that can absolve the dirty alcohol or cold water going through the garment; if you have a bucket or pot, place the stained area on top of it. A spray bottle to spray the alcohol or cold water through the garment is best. Make sure you spray just an inch or two from the apparel. Do not spray too hard, just enough to get the area wet; if you see the dye dropping down on the container, the sink, or the old rag, get the spray bottle very close to contact with the stained area and continue spaying very slowly until the hair dye stain is all gone.
Use a plastic item that is not sharp, like a credit card, a plastic hotel room key, or a plastic spoon, to remove the excess goop.
- Use soap, but only the area needed. Choose laundry soap designed for stain removal. Use a soft toothbrush to spot and treat the area required, and let it rest for 5 to 15 minutes before rinsing.
- Use bleach that is oxygen base in a pot or bucket. Read the instructions on the bottle, just in case. Let it rest soaked for about 8 hours or the next day.
- For white cloth, use chlorine and a cup of bleach for one gallon of water. Soak for about 20 minutes. If the hair dye stain is gone after you rinse it, wash it as usual.
- If you get positive results, repeat the above steps until the dye is entirely removed.
Do not use hot water or put the garment in the dryer; if the hair dye has not been entirely removed, it will make it permanent.

How to clean a phone case
Your phone case is one of the most disgusting things you will carry with you.
It is incredible how our once gorgeous phone cases start to look undesirable. Because we just continuously use our cell phones all day, we get exposed to everything that surrounds us. Doing this puts consistent deterioration on their surfaces, spots, or bacteria. In most cases, we will not even notice it, regardless is a good idea to keep it clean and germ-free. Of course, we have many types and kinds of cell phone cases.
The most fragile cases to clean are the wooden cell phone cases; therefore, it is best to clean them regularly. You should not use water to sterilize this type of case. Water can weaken them and not last as long. It is best to use microfiber cloths for this particular cell phone case because it attracts dirt and does not damage the case.
You can use a sanitizing fluid or clean water with white vinegar drops for resilient filth. It is essential to dry with a microfiber cloth and absorb all moisture. When you are doing the wiping, and the drying, do it in the direction of the grain.
The second most delicate cases are the leather cell phone case. They can be cleaned with a leather cleaning solution, like the ones sold at shoe repair shops. There is nothing wrong with using soapy water on a damp microfiber cloth. Use the fabric whenever you use the cleaner. Do not use woven material to dry. Stick to a microfiber cloth. Leather is spongy, and the microfiber gets to the smallest cracks and openings.
Rub in a circular motion and be very gentle when wiping and drying. This will keep from widening the leather. Leather is susceptible; therefore, the longer your case will last, the basic the cleaning.
When it comes to plastic, silicone, and rubber cases, they can easily be cleaned with dish soap and water. This is the best, less complicated way to clean this type of case. You can soak the cell phone cases in warm water and use a small toothbrush to remove impurities and stains. And again, use a microfiber cloth to dry. You can also use isopropyl alcohol or sanitizer fluid to wipe them down.
Stains are harder to remove if your case is white or clear. If the stains have not been released with the above steps, try using baking soda combined with water and create a paste. Gently toothbrush it all over the case and let it rest on it for a couple of hours. Then, rinse the case brushing the paste off.

How to fix a sagging door
First, you need to ensure the door is sagging and it is not an issue with the floor or the frame. Make sure the screws are tight on the hinge. You may have to replace the screws
If not, the usual problem is that the door tilts from the hinge at an angle. Obviously, it is rubbing with the floor, or it may even Jamb at the top. If the door was just repainted, this might cause jamming or sticking, and you just have to remove the excess paint to get it to work correctly.
If the door is rubbing at the bottom or top, mark the area where it is happening (3 to 4 inches); if you have a wooden floor, there would be scratches on the surface; look for scratches on the top as well. It is time to remove the door; It is best to have someone helping you to avoid twisting or collapsing of the door when removed.
Some old-fashioned folks use a wood chisel set; we highly recommend using a hand plane tool or an electric sander for a smoother result. Little by little, reduce the marked area with the plane tool and test the door.
After removing the rubbing, do not forget to paint the area that was reduced before replacing the door back in place.

How to grow a yesterday today and tomorrow plant (Brunfelsia pauciflora).
This beautiful tropical plan gets its name from the three different colors of its Blume. It is a unique display of color; the follower starts as a violet/blue color on the first day, and on the second day, turns to a lavender color, closing the last color with an almost complete white Blume. Its flower tends to die on the fourth day.
Choose moist soil or loamy that retains moisture that does not become hard-packed. This soil is best if it is composed of a combination of sand, silt, and organics. Even though it is a tropical plant, it can be grown indoors if you keep it wet but not excessively damped. When you pour water on this plant, if the water does not dissipate within ten seconds, you are putting too much water.
It would be best if you did the trimming in the springtime and very early in the autumn. Like any other tropical plant, it attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. This plant's flowers are toxic to humans and pets if eaten. It has a beautiful aroma, so it is best to keep small children away so they do not consume this plant accidentally. Besides that, it is a unique display of colors all year round.
