Re: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
For getting stains out of clothes I use one part blue Dawn dishwashing soap and two parts hydrogen peroxide. I keep it in a spray bottle. This combination takes out just about every stain I've ever thrown at it. When you mix it the solution will be blue but after it sits overnight it even takes the color out of the dawn and it will be clear the next day. This may take the stains out of your roof as well but the peroxide may dry out the rubber membrane so I'm not sure it would be worth the risk. There is a rubber paint you could just paint over the roof to cover the stains.500Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos

You can buy them at Bed, Bath, & Beyond or on line. Does the handle easily come apart for storage? I have a small cabinet that I would use to store this but wasn't sure about the handle? I know the handle came in pieces but I'm not sure if it will come back apart once it's put together, I've never needed to take it back apart. The bottom does fold flat and turn with the handle so it doesn't take up any more room than a broom and one charge will usually last me for a one week camping trip doing a quick sweep every night. The Swivel Sweeper is not a high powered vacuum but it does do a good job of picking up basic crumbs and sand without having to get out a dust pan and it's easy to dump when full.305Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
We had a wet bath in our pop-up and I loved it. It was so much larger than the tiny shower I have in my 33' trailer. After showering I just took my washcloth and wiped everything down, wringing it out right over the drain before I got out of the shower. I did read where someone else took one of the bathmats with the rubber backing to put in the bottom when not using it as a shower because there was always a few drops of water left in the bottom and I always seemed to find them with my socks in the middle of the night. I would think that the teak mat would stay wet for a while after you finished your shower. I would like to have one of the teak mats for showering off outside after we get back from the beach but I didn't want to spend that much and didn't want the weight so we got one of the grass mats that you use on the beach for $3.00. It weighs almost nothing, dries quickly and rolls up to almost nothing for traveling.355Views0likes0Comments
