Hi, I have searched and found a thread back in 2013 so hoping to find more up to date info...
I need to get Wasserstoffperoxid 3% but can only find small bottles and they are quite expensive. (about CHF14 for only 100ml...) In the US or Germany, it is a LOT cheaper but unfortunately I can't seem to order them online from even Germany...
Hoping to get bottles of at least 0.5L or 1L for cleaning purposes. Would anyone have any idea where they are available in Zurich area or online in CH or ships to CH?
I've no idea what Stick means, Leo doesn't even have a translation. Possibly from ersticken, to suffocate? So "suffocating stuff"? Makes sense, I suppose.
"Suffocating material" sounds like a really bad comedian's act.
Thanks!! I tried this link last night but got the message that this product does not ship to Switzerland and thought maybe because it is liquid. I tried again just now and it does work, THANK YOU
Carbon is nothing but Latin for "charcoal". Just because its a foreign word is it not more intelligent... I love how English speaker look down on languages that don't just nick random words, but make up their own.
Reminds me of the American waiter that was surprised that I did not understand that "Entree" means main course in American English... "Its French!" "I know, I understand French... but it does not mean what you think it means."
Eh? Nobody's looking down on anybody. I just said it makes me laugh, but only because it sounds like garbled English.
Yeah, I've always been annoyed about this, but thankfully it's more often an issue for Americans over here than for French speakers over there, IYSWIM. Not only are they getting a starter when they think they've ordered a main course, but it's usually tiny by American standards, so can be fun to see.
I get satisfaction out of your misery. There's a word for it in English, I don't know if exists in German - Schadenfreude.
Is that because it's pronounced "On tray". Like a TV dinner?
I don't look down on other languages. I just find that the suffix "stoff" sounds so much like "stuff" that it sounds almost childish. Like something from here .
OTOH, wolfram has always sounded to me tougher than tungsten.
I got rid of an old carpet and found a dark pee stain from my dog on the wooden floor... Aside of the baking soda + vinegar cleaning method, I looked on youtube for the best way to get rid of the darkened pet pee spot, and hydrogen peroxide seems to work really well, without damaging the wood.
I've been getting a 35% concentration 1L from local drogerie. I just dilute as needed. My understanding is that it's one of those things not on the shelf, but available if you ask.
In your application, hydrogen peroxide can have a bleaching effect on wood and may lead to discoloration of the wood. Did you try the baking soda and vinegar without success?
The baking soda + vinegar is more to get the smell out of the wood. First application was incredible, the next morning the baking soda was all yellow. Smell was still there. After the 2nd application baking soda did not turn much yellow anymore and the smell is almost gone. BUT, this made the wood darker than it was before I guess because it got the "liquid" more to the surface?
I don't want to use normal bleach as many google searches say it will damage the wood but the hydrogen peroxide seems to do the trick without the damage. Fingers crossed!!
What about making up a paste of Vanish stain remover? You can use that with coloured clothes and it doesn't bleach them but draws the stain out. Maybe test it on a bit of flooring out of sight first, though.
Didn't think of that but textile and wood is quite a bit different. It might work? Well, I've ordered the hydrogen peroxide online and should have it within a couple of days.
Now thinking of placing a plastic sheet on the wooden floor before placing the new carpet. (not just for the dog, but I've also had guests that spilled a bottle of red wine etc.... ) Anyone knows if this is bad for the wood? (not being able to breathe???)
