    try a little bit of lemon juice, the acid in it will help clean metal, they also make metal polish.

    Lol, thats what happens when you have a Military Father, and grew up with a Mother and a Sister. You tend to find normal items that clean things, like hair spray wil take out ink from clothes, <<another nice trick.

    oOo I got one!

    Use a newspaper when you're cleaning windows. It leaves absolutely no residue, so the windows look crystal clear :)

    That also works for corrosion on car batteries.

    So imagine what it does to your stomach.

    or if you have wasp problems who wont take a hint and decide to fly around your room while you fight to the death
    even if you open windows and turn off lights then he'kll go on your bed
    so its time to take ourt DEODORANT!!1
    and get him near the window
    SPRAY him till it falls to the windowsill
    then graba tissue
    pick it up gently
    emtype it on outer window
    close window
    BOOM drunken wasp.
    staggering
    more than likely gonna walk off the edgie and die
    but meh
    yea
    just a household tip :)

    I was gonna say ketchup too. Works wonders on most metals. Will turn a penny into new. :D

    Take like a couple packets of ketchup and let the dog tags sit in it overnight. rinse it off with water and be amazed. ;)
