Removing Stains from Resilient Floors

I'm going to type out this small paragraph in the book.

Read to the end...

"To prevent permanent damage, stains and spots should be removed as quickly as possible from any kind of floor or flooring. When your particular problem concerns a resilient flooring, remember to refer to the helpful table that you will find in the Appendix at the back of this book. It was compiled especially to solve stain problems on asphalt and vinyl asbestos tile floors"

ASBESTOS

You know that stuff that is dangerous if the microscopic fibers become airborne?

Between the 1920's and 1980's asbestos was common to use in flooring and wallpaper. This was due to it's low production cost, insulation, and fireproof qualities.

It wasn't until the 1990's that the dangerous health risks associated with exposure to asbestos were discovered. Today, many products using asbestos have been phased out. However, many homes and other buildings built before 1980 may still contain flooring and wallpaper that contains asbestos.

This look is just a combination of fear from stubborn stains and future cancer scares.

BUT!

Let's go back to stubborn stain removal!

The Appendix in the book is actually pretty neat!

For today's post there isn't anything new on cleaning floors and stains though.

The best way is to clean that mess and prevent the stain is to get to it as quick as you can.

What cleaner should you use?

It actually just said regular dish soap or standard cleaner.

There isn't a magical recipe for cleaning.

IN FACT!

I've been using regular Dawn blue dishwashing soap, vinegar, and baking soda for a lot of household cleaning. Elbow grease also goes a long way.

Just get on that Pinterest Fam and you will see what I'm talking about!

This new year:

Get to those spills before they seep in

Google "asbestos in products" and get afraid of everything

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
