Q: If you spill a drink on your keyboard, unplug it and wipe it down. Make sure the keyboard is unplugged first, or your laptop is powered down. If the spill is mostly on top of the keys, use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean the keys. Make sure they are free from stickiness. Going around the edges should help with sticky keys, as it releases the bottom part of the key from the keyboard. Once the alcohol is dry, check your keys to see if they are better.
A: Wipe up any spills as they happen. Clean the keys with alcohol if the drink dries. Rub the tops of the keys. Use the cotton swab to go around the edges. Check to see if your keys are unstuck.

Q: Consider purchasing a professional kit if the scuff is more than just superficial or if you’re dealing with scratched vinyl. The kit will include a glue to fill in the deep scuff or scratch, an activator to dry the glue, and a dye that matches your vinyl color. You can order a scratch removal kit online for about 50 US dollars. Your kit will come with a factory-matched dye to blend in with your vinyl color. When you order your kit, you can search for your car’s make and model to identify the correct vinyl color. Use a piece of 220 grit sandpaper to smooth over the scratch or deep scuff. Try to remove any roughness around the scratch so its edges are flush with the vinyl surface. Some scratch removal kits provide sandpaper. If you don’t have any fine grain sandpaper on hand, you can check kits’ contents before ordering and purchase one that supplies sandpaper. Wipe down the area with a damp cloth. If the area is greasy or grimy, clean it with a homemade vinegar solution or store-bought auto interior cleaner. Use a clean microfiber towel to dry the area. If the area is still at all damp after wiping it down with microfiber, wait for it to dry completely before applying glue. Dab a small amount of the superglue that came in the scratch removal kit. Smooth the glue over the scratch using a narrow palette knife. If your kit provided a glue activator, apply it over the glue to instantly harden it. If you haven’t used an activator, wait for the glue to dry completely. Use your 220 grit sandpaper to smooth over the glued surface. Then wipe down the area with a damp cloth, and dry it with a microfiber towel. The dye will come in an aerosol sprayer. Spray a light, even coat over the patched area, and hold a piece of cardboard under the area to help protect surrounding surfaces. Wait for the dye to dry, and reapply until you’ve achieved even coverage. If you have a heat gun handy, you can use it to dry the dye faster. Hold it about 12 inches (about 30 cm) away from the dyed surface.
A: Purchase a complete scratch removing kit. Sand the scratched area. Clean the area after sanding. Apply glue to the scratch and spread. Sand and clean the glue when it’s dry. Apply multiple light coats of factory-matched dye.

Q: During the growing period, they need 12 hours of light so that they can properly photosynthesize and flower. At least four of those hours should be direct sunlight.  Keep in mind that the more direct sunlight your plant gets, the healthier it will be.  Most fly trap cultivars will show a reddish pigmentation when they are healthy and happy where you place them. In addition to needing plenty of light, your fly trap needs high humidity and protection against breezes or drafts. Keeping your plant indoors in a sunny yet draft-free area will usually be ideal.  Observe where sunlight reaches during the morning hours and afternoon hours. If you are planning on keeping your plant inside, you will need to put it in an east, west, or south-facing window. Remember that the plant should get a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight each day. You could also grow your plant in an open vent terrarium with a ‘plant light’ or fluorescent light close by. The closer the light is to the plant, the healthier the plant will be. You could also grow it in your bog garden). Just make sure to put the plant where it will be in direct sunlight and not in nutrient rich soil. You may also wish to shield the plant from strong winds by placing it near other structures or draft-hardy plants.
A: Place your fly trap where it will get plenty of direct sunlight. Pick a well-lit section in your house away from drafts of air. Consider keeping your plant outdoors.

Q: Pour about a tablespoon (14.78 mL) of isopropyl or rubbing alcohol directly on a rag or paper towel. Work the alcohol into the stain. Blot up any extra alcohol with paper towels. The correction fluid should come away with the paper towels. Immediately wash the clothes as you normally would. Rub with vinegar if you’re uncomfortable blotting the stain with alcohol. Put the stained area of the clothes over a clean cloth. Soak a second clean cloth in acetone. Tap the stain with the acetone-soaked rag. Use clean sections of rag each time you tap it because the correction fluid should come up with the acetone. When you’re satisfied the stain is gone, saturate the area with some rubbing alcohol. Finally, rinse it with clean water before you launder it.  Wear rubber gloves when working with acetone. Work in a well-ventilated area. Pour a generous amount of gasoline on a clean rag. Put an old clean cloth or absorbent paper towels behind the stain. Blot the stain with the gasoline. Once the stain is gone, wash out the gasoline by hand with liquid laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid. Rinse your clothing very well and then launder it.  Take precautions when working with gasoline. Wear rubber gloves and work in a well-ventilated spot. Dispose of your rags and paper towels according to the hazardous waste regulations where you live. Try rubbing in some white spirit or mineral turpentine instead of the gasoline. Take similar precautions when working with white spirit.
A:
Blot the stain with some rubbing alcohol. Remove the stain with acetone. Treat the stain with gasoline.
