Is there a readily available pen for marking clothes labels?
I have a problem knowing which clothes can go into the
washer/dryer and which can't.  It would help if my wife
could mark those clothes that require special handling.

The chemical symbol for Silver is Ag.
I was given some silver bars - several 10 oz and 1 oz sizes.  And a
few coins - some coins are collectable and some are just valuable for
their Ag content.

As opposed to carpets?
The basic process must be the same, but I wonder how much trouble is
caused by the fact that a rug is not fixed to the floor.
Does anyone have experience with this?

My dog was very sick a few days ago and not only puked a couple of times but
also had a diarrhea episode on the new carpet.  I've used both our Hoover
Steam Cleaner and tried the Resolve spray and vacuum foam.  Although much of
the stains are gone there still remains some stain.  ...

My two-sided wall heater 's vents are dirty and some have
lost paint.  They look terrible.  For years I have been resolving
to Do Something About It.  I even bought a spray can appropriate for a
heat-emitting device.

What is something I can get to scrub around narrow
areas around faucets in the bathroom?
Grout brush maybe?
