Rob McElhenney (the real Vic Vinegar) talks about how his mother used to cover him in vinegar as a fly/mosquito repellent (while it does do this it’s generally recommended for dogs). He stated that it made him smell really bad and how it gave him PTSD every time he smelled vinegar. He did state the few times he didn’t use the vinegar the mosquitoes and flies went to town on him…

Sometimes I forget to empty the waste container on my smart Vac/mop and then it well create the worse smell. What I’ll do is pour baking soda all over the container and then flush it with vinegar. As long as I get the entire container once it dries the funk is gone. I’m unsure if your wireless stick can be flushed as I’ve never worked with it so make sure this won’t cause an issue before trying this method. A safer approach would be to try and simmer the vinegar in a pan with the filter and motor very close to the pan (make sure motor is exposed). This may kill everything that’s causing the smell.

There are none left to show :)

Some call me Vic_Vinegar.

Cleaning: the act of removing impurities and general undesirable agents from the environment.

Yes it's very effective at removing weed smells from a room. Some recommend simmering the vinegar on your stove as simmering it on your stovetop will really crank up its odor removal powers. The vinegar then vaporizes its acetic acid, which then bonds with the molecules responsible for the weed smell.

Most experts agree that ozone generators are ineffective at cleaning indoor air, and inhaling ozone poses serious health risks for humans and animals.

You might have the ratio off. Try mixing 2 tablespoons of vinegar with two cups of water in a spray bottle. The more vinegar you use the stronger the cleaning solvent, however the smell well last longer (however it will always dissipate in time)

The vinegar smell dissipates very quickly :P

See my response above.

Unfortunately you're incorrect as I've been using baking soda and vinegar for years to clean tough stains and remove odors from places like my garbage disposal. The reason this happens is because when the baking soda is mixed with the vinegar the baking soda’s reaction causes it to transform into water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide that is released during the reaction gives it the bubbling effect that expands and helps lift dirt/odors from the surfaces being cleaned.

wow, interesting I was not aware of that. Thank you for sharing.

Me too! What ratio to water do you use for your air deodorizer?

I believe I explained the process in my response and provided links to videos that are used to fix stuck pixels. The first one may not start immediately as he issues a disclaimer regarding seizures.

Yes, I already clarified that in my original post.

Try this approach: (#3 is different from the original instructions, also see the suggestions at the end)

1. Turn off your TV/Monitor
2. Get yourself a damp washcloth, so that you don't scratch your screen.
3. Take a household pen, pencil, or some other sort of instrument with a focused, but relatively dull, point. A very good tool would be a PDA stylus.
4. Fold the washcloth to make sure you don't accidentally puncture it and scratch the screen.
5. Apply pressure through the folded washcloth with the instrument to exactly where the stuck pixel is. Try not to put pressure anywhere else 5. While applying pressure, turn on your screen.
6. Remove pressure and the stuck pixel should be gone.

*This works as the liquid in the liquid crystal has not spread into each little pixel. The liquid is used with the backlight on your screen allowing different amounts of light through, which creates the different colors.

Here's a suggestion I pulled of a tech support forum:

If the pressure doesn't work directly on the stuck pixel, start moving outward around the stuck pixel. If you see the pixel flicker while doing this then you know where you can focus the pressure rather than directly on the pixel.

Many people report success with this technique, but these instructions won't work in every case. It may take a few attempts to make sure you are pressing exactly on the stuck pixel. An alternative, but similar technique involves gently massaging the stuck pixel with a warm damp (not wet) soft cloth.

The reason you use a damp cloth is so you don't scratch your screen.

Good call, see edit.

see above.

A stuck pixel is a bright dot of color that fails to update when neighboring pixels change. What the videos do is rapidly change the color on and around the pixel to try and force the pixel to become unstuck. Unfortunately it can take an hour or two to see results.

Here are examples: (Warning be very careful viewing these videos if you suffer from seizures.

yeah the "pixel fixing videos" on youtube never worked for me as well.

I never heard of the slapping it lightly method, that must of come from frustration.

Anyway, sorry it didn't work for you.

Hah :). Unfortunately for me because of this solution I do not have any stuck pixels to create a quick walkthrough video.

Why would they lock it?

Good luck with your controlled experiment :).
