Hardwood floor

1 Upvotes

We moved into our home just over a year ago and our stairs are hardwood and sealed. I need advice on how to make them looker newer or better. I have tried to steam clean them, scrub dirt in the grain out. I don’t want to restrain them if I don’t have too, I’m looking to see if it’s all scratches that I need to fix? I’m not sure what even happened to them, beside I have dogs and it’s the high traffic area that’s the worst. In photo from a distance they look fine ish but in person you can tell, I have attached up close photos but the marks are visible in person from a normal distance I’m not just looking at my stairs up close and notice some marks, if that makes sense. Please help !

I help out a messy auto shop and part of it one of the mechanic there gave me this to use that they found in some junk. Can this be washed in from the laundry if not how? Get a straight new one? Are these kinds reusable or can they as much as possible?

Thanks

Sorry, reposting this with better photos, the last post wouldn’t let me comment these for some reason. It seems to have a locking mechanism on the top, a little thing that is spring loaded and goes into a hole. The chain on the right may be broken? Idek

How to show emotion?

7 Upvotes

I (F20) have been told that I can look bitchy/emotionless no matter what I’m doing or how I feel, and recently I’ve started to notice it as well. I’ve tried showing my emotions on my face before, but it always feels and looks awkward or ‘over-the-top’—been made fun of for this as well. I’m a very blunt person, which doesn’t seem to help my case either. I want to express myself better visually, so if anyone has any tips, it’d be much appreciated!

Question about rolling a burrito

4 Upvotes

Hello food experts.

I've researched this mildly online and failed.

Lots of people will explain/demonstrate rolling a burrito... ending with the burrito held in hand, toasted/fried to seal/stick, or (ugh) rolled in aluminum foil...

Isn't there a way to roll a burrito such that it would "hold itself" closed, simply by virtue of the way it's rolled/folded/tucked in/other? Of course, it would be best if it could also stay stable while you eat it (meaning, the "holding feature" would be some trick at the bottom).

White marks on transparent film on glass !

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for help with an issue I'm facing after applying a transparent laminated film (with UV-printed graphics) onto glass. I think i've made something wrong during installation...

I Applied to interior glass using soap and water. It was squeegeed (Maybe not very well )and left to dry.

After installation, I noticed some white marks appearing under the film.
I'm attaching photos to show what I mean.

Has anyone experienced this before?
Is there a way to fix or reduce these marks after installation?

Any advice or insight would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

From the outside, you must put in the code to lock, but to unlock you can put in the code OR just hit enter. Seems unsafe. I can’t find anything online about it. TIA

[Serious Answers Only] The wall of my stainless steel fridge has darkened after cleaner with aliphatic hydrocarbons

Post image
1 Upvotes

Help needed! A friend who lives with me used some cleaning agent with "aliphatic hydrocarbons" and possibly ammonia and now the side looks like this. The material is almost surely stainless steel. We have already tried wd-40, stainless steel cleaner, acidic cleaners, it hasn't changed the situation in any way, it looks exactly the same.

It's the fridge of the landlord so we basically need it to look like it's fixed, it mustn't be actually extremely long lasting or something.

Is it possible to reverse it or at least make it look like the parts that weren't darkened?

[Solved] UPDATE ON THE VERY STUCK DRAWER!

1.6k Upvotes

After 8 total hours of trying to get this drawer open, and many tears, I did it!! Thank you to all the people that contributed helpful things, no thank you to the people that said “just jiggle it it’s not that hard”… You’re the worst. I didn’t have a drill but I did have a sharp thing and a dream. I hammered it into the drawer until I had a hole big enough for a wire, then I stripped the wire and stuck it through the hole, just far enough to dislodge the scale, and the drawer finally opened!!! Everything inside is shredded because we spent a whole work day shoving things in there lol.
