Candle wax A candle caught fire and blew up all over my bathroom. I have taken most of it off, except on the walls. The paint is a latex, semi-gloss. I cannot seem to make any headway. It was a red candle and the color does not want to lift. I tried an iron and this melted the paint. I live in an apartment and the owner will freak if I do not have it off soon!

Cleaning a small closed in bathroom without ventilation While I was pregnant I discovered that scrubbing in the bathroom with fumey cleaners wasn't a hot idea anymore. What works great is ordinary liquid clothes detergent. It fought the toughest mildew and cleaned better than most bathroom cleaners on the porcelain, stainless steel and fiberglass. Everything shines like new and I can clean my tiny closed-in bathroom without a gas mask, not to mention the fact that I'm not leaving behind any harsh chemicals for me or my family to bathe in or breath. -- "Tracertonian" Comment 18 Oct 2002 (Ref:0807)
