Halloween is approaching quickly. While most of us do not need to be concerned with pranksters, there are always a few in the crowd that are subjected to the Halloween hijinks. I have watched several videos on TP removal. I have seen a leaf blower used, but it was erratic and not effective. I also saw fire balls shot into trees. Not a recommended tactic, as fire BURNS. Fire may spread to decorations, dried leaves, pets, houses, and people. The attached video demonstrates using a light bulb changing extension pole. This is the most controlled, safe, and reasonable procedure in my opinion.

Because I never have worn it on a daily basis, I consider myself some what of a novice in removing make up stains. However, with employers I have had where housekeeping was also responsible for laundry, make up was our worst enemy. We had tried stain treaters, bleach, peroxide, industrial degreaser, and even paint thinners. Nothing was highly effective. I have turned to online searches and articles for new ideas and tactics. Fingers crossed.
