SoySaucePrinterInk OP , to Home Improvement in How do I permanently get rid of this discolouration in my bathtub? (I have hard water)
@SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works avatar

Unfortunately we do have a water softener but for some reason, there's still buildup.

I've been seeing improvements with powdered bar keepers friend but it takes several passes and still comes back unfortunately.

What does the peroxide add? Whitening?

A common way to wash many dishes is a tub of soapy water to clean off food, a tub of diluted bleach water to disinfect, and a tub of water to rinse the dishes. It's used by wilderness guides around the world.

SoySaucePrinterInk OP , to Home Improvement in [RESOLVED] The plastic cylinder in my soap dispenser is loose and the soap no longer pumps. What's the best way to fix this? Super glue didn't hold.

I used epoxy and so far it has held up!

Where do you find citric acid? I've been using white vinegar in a jar in my dishwasher which gets rid of all water spots and cleans better with my hard water. However, I'd like to find a place to purchase citric acid crystals without relying on Amazon.

Thanks for the info, do you know what the fixes would be, short of replacing the tub?

Since I tried the liquid soft cleanser, will the powder be enough of an improvement to warrant purchasing?

Thank you for your concern :) They're opaque and the same ones I used. They just reflected light weirdly in this photo.

SoySaucePrinterInk OP , to Home Improvement in Can I caulk around this window trim?
@SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works avatar

This is the interior of a fixed window. Below it is a sliding screen window, then a sliding single pane window, and finally another sliding single pane window.

So I ask the guy at home depot for the longest, thickest, blackest caulk, right?

SoySaucePrinterInk OP , to Home Improvement in How would you seal this gap under central boiler hydronic baseboard heaters that only get warm, not hot.
@SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works avatar

Are you saying that I shouldn’t caulk that small exposed area? I’m just wondering why since I don’t know.

My aim is to reduce pests

@SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works avatar

I am referring to the small 90° gap between the flooring and the metal where you can see bits of exposed concrete. Are you saying that gap shouldn’t be sealed?

@SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works avatar

What would be the rationale there? Bug prevention?
