HINTS FROM HELOISE
Dear Readers:
Here is this week’s Sound Off, about items rusting:
“My Sound Off is about things that are supposed to get wet, but when they do, they get rust. I’ve enclosed a photo. (Heloise here: The photo shows a string mop, with a metal ring about a third of the way down. Rust city!) I have rust on my bathroom basin and washing machine. Whoever made these products, didn’t they know they would get wet?”
Kathleen H., Camp Hill, Pa.
Kathleen, I am as outraged as you. Call the manufacturers right now! This is absolutely ridiculous! The metal ring around the mop is rusting? Huh? SHAME! Fight back. Call the manufacturer; take the mop back to the store. DON’T buy that brand again.
