How can I get these lake water stains out of my swimsuit?
So I have a really cute swimsuit that love. Once I left it at my lake house and every time I go swimming in the lake(a very dirty one at that) my suit gets more and more stained. I'm going to the beach this weekend and I'd like to bring this one. Even when it is clean it looks dirty. How can I get the stains out without harming all the colors. Thanks, I will be sure to pick a best answer. Oh and by the way, google search is not helping me so don't tell me to look it up!
What method is best for separating clean water from muddy water?
In terms of the best, any sort of thermal method is probably easiest. Josh Manson's answer provides a nice way of doing this, but he is correct that any volatiles will probably evaporate with the water (although not ions).This is the best way to go about it if you're doing it at home. It separates the liquids from your solids and even deals with dissolved impurities (providing they aren't volatile).At a bigger scale, you generally want to try a mechanical separation method first, typically a settling tank or maybe a filtration. In terms of energy/operational cost, it is significantly easy to mechanically remove particulates. If you have other stuff dissolved in the residual liquor, then you're going to need to look at either a chemical treatment (via precipitation or some sort of solvent extraction) or a thermal one (evaporation or freeze crystallization).
How long does it take a body to decompose in mud with weather 50-60 fahrenheit, 10-15.5 Celsius?
Although, temperature is the number on factor in the rate of decomposition, there are many more factors, so it is really hard to tell only from the information you provided. How deep is the grave? Is the body chopped up? Is it covered with clothes? If yes how tightly? And so many unanswered questions which influence the rate of decomposition. If the soil is water logged and very moisture full, a nasty thing may happen with the body called adipocere, which is a wax-like substance consisting mostly of saturated fat of the body covering the body.
Would you rather play in a giant mud puddle or a pool?
I played in both.The mud puddle felt better on my skin, and I had lots of fun crawling through the mud. The pool is just a place for swimming and sometimes there’s a slide.Cleaning up from mud play takes a lot longer. I have to rinse my clothes in the river first, wait for them to dry before getting onto the bus, and spend another hour or two hand-washing them again. No cleaning is required after playing in the pool.In conclusion, I'd choose the mud puddle if you are washing my clothes.
Float trip disaster: How do I get mud out of a light blue swim suit?!?
First of all, do not put any more bleach on your swimsuit unless it is color safe bleach, or you will have white specks on your suit as well. Here is my suggestion and I think it will work. Go to the store and buy a bottle of "Zout". It is in a red spray bottle. This stuff is great...I have used it on stains that I never thought would come out, like coffee, blood, and even grease. It works on any stain, and I am sure it will work on your swimsuit. Just spray all the stained areas, lightly work in with a cloth or your finger, let it sit for an hour or so, then wash the suit in cold water on the delicate cycle of the washing machine and the stains should be gone. Good luck!
Can you get a yeast infection from swimming in lake/river/ocean water?
Yeast organisms are there naturally. Generally theu cause a problem when an antibiotic kills the other normal flora and they take over. Swimming may cause it to be worse. Pool water could irritate. Water in nature can not cause a yeast infection, but some areas can be too dirty to swim, there are usually signs if this is true.
Does human body absorb water through skin?
The two previous answers are incorrect.Yes, we absorb some water into the skin when we’re immersed in a lake or a bath, hence the phenomenon of “prune fingers.” It’s the dead surface layer of keratin that absorbs the water; the deeper layers don’t. It’s not a large amount but it can be enough to cause some serious problems (deterioration of the skin) in prolonged immersion.As for losses through the skin, at a comfortable air temperature, an adult loses about 400 mL of water per day by cutaneous transpiration, which is not the same as sweating. This is not glandular—it is just water diffusing between the epidermal cells and evaporating from the skin surface. Under the same comfortable conditions, we lose only about 100 mL/day by sweating—so, 4 times as much nonsweating water loss through the skin as by sweating. Of course, in hotter conditions, the loss by sweating can become much greater.
