Home & Garden - 28 September 2006

I cut my bougainvillea bush back yesterday and got pricked by the thorns, which is inevitable, and now the fingers that were effected by them are swollen and itch. I have taken benadryl, which has helped a bit. My doctor said it isn't uncommon and often times, too high a level could require steroids. Has anyone ever had this happen? I definitely think I will hire someone next time it gets too large!

How do you get spilled coffee out of a mattress?

I have a new Tempurpedic mattress and I spilled a 12 oz cup of coffee on it. I already took off the mattress cover and washed that on gentle in the machine, but how do I get the smell out of the mattress itself? The company suggested arm and hammer baking soda. Is that the best way? Do I put it straight or dilute it?

Need help using my water softener?

I have a Rainsoft Apollo Classic V.2 water softener that I don't have an owner's manual to. This is my first day using it because I had to set up the electrical line (which I did a week after the plumber left, or else I'd ask him this question). Anyway, I don't know how to set it up to manually regenerate. I followed the instructions on the unit, which said to turn the timer dial two clicks clockwise, but it wasn't very clear what was meant by "clicks", so I'm not sure if I turned it correctly or too many times or what. It doesn't seem like anything is happening except that water is draining through the drain. I'm not sure whether or not that means it's working correctly. Can someone tell me what to look for to know if this is working correctly or, if not, what I'm supposed to do to manually regenerate? It's not that the unit is broken; it's just that I've never used a water softener before and I don't know what to expect to see happen when I try to manually regenerate.
