orange gatorade spilled on the carpet in the car and it wont come out.
How do i get orange gatorade out of a beige carpet?
Try soaking it up with club soda - the plain, bubbly, flavorless kind. If that does not work, try scrubbing with soap and water.
I recently got out yellow mustard out of my carpet by doing that.

What is the difference between orange and green antifreeze?
I have a 1998 Chevy s10 pickup and i noticed the antifreeze was low so we put regular green antifreeze in and when we opened the radiator cap the antifreeze in there was orange. I know that orange is used in gm vehicles but what is the difference and was it bad that i mixed the green coolant with the orange.
What is the difference between orange and green antifreeze?
after talking to a master mechanic for gm he says to never mix green and orange anti freeze as they are entirely 2 different chemical compositions,plus once mixed and heat added by driving a chemical reaction takes place,and the antifreeze turns to a jello like substance,no joke. evacuate the antifreeze system promptly and flush prior to replacing with fresh uncontaminated antifreeze,or blow the engine
Reply:I don't think it makes a difference, but the orange color might also be an indication of rust... I would check and make sure the mixture in your radiator is 50/50, they sell a silly little tool for doing just that, so long it's 50/50 then you should be ok.
You should be able to get an antifreeze mix tester at most any auto parts store, it has a small rubber hose and a clear plastic part with a gauge and a primer bulb, cost is like $10'ish or so.
Reply:The two types should not be mixed.
Most of the antifreeze products on the market currently are ethylene glycol base material with additives to prevent corrosion, lubricate seals and water pumps and aid in heat transfer to the coolant from the metal of the engine. Antifreeze should be mixed with distilled water (tap water contains high amounts of minerals such as calcium and iron that can precipitate and coat internal parts) at the ratio of one part antifreeze to one part water. This gives freeze protection down to minus 34 degrees and boil-over protection up to +265 degrees. Never use pure antifreeze in a cooling system without using at least 30 percent water in the mixture. Most antifreeze products sold for the past several years have been the traditional "green" coolant. This type is good for two to three years and up to 30,000 miles. The green antifreeze contains silicates, phosphates and / or borates as corrosion inhibitors to keep the solution alkaline. As long as the solution remains alkaline, corrosion is controlled and the system is protected. Over time, the corrosion inhibitors will be depleted and the corrosion protection is lost. It is for this reason that green antifreeze should be changed every two years or so. Aluminum is especially vulnerable to corrosion and many vehicles have heads, radiators and other aluminum components in the cooling system. If the coolant in an engine cooling system is changed before corrosion inhibitors reach dangerously low levels, corrosion damage is prevented.
An alternative to tradition green antifreeze is a product currently used by many engine manufacturers. "Orange" antifreeze is a long life or extended life type of antifreeze used to increase the useful life of engine coolant. It is ethylene glycol base as is the green antifreeze. The difference between the two colors is that orange antifreeze contains a different type of corrosion inhibitor that has a much longer service life than silicates, phosphates and borates. Orange antifreeze contains organic acids that protect engine parts from corrosion. Silicate (green) type antifreeze does not mix with orange type antifreeze. Never mix the two colors in a cooling system. The organic acids in orange types will cause precipitation of silicates in the green type and corrosion protection is greatly reduced. Orange type antifreezes are good for five years or 100,000/150,000 miles in newer vehicles (1996 and later). They can be used in many older vehicles (ask your vehicle dealer if it is safe to use orange antifreeze) if all of the green mixture is flushed from the system and is replaced with the orange mixture. Useful life is about four years or 60,000 miles in older cars.
Reply:Yeah, it's bad news to mix 'em. They are chemically different. You can flush out the orange stuff and replace it with green, that's what I do (been a mechanic for 25 years). Since you have mixed it, you will need to flush it out really well and put whichever you prefer back in.
Reply:Flush the system and then go back with the Dexcool. Also may sure you put a new good quality radiator cap on it. The green has silicates in it which is an abrasive and causes premature wear of components. The orange does not and last much longer as far as protection goes.
Reply:Your truck has factory filled Dex cool antifreeze. It's available every where you turn. The color is always orange. It's meant to last 150,000 between changes. I'd do it much sooner but that's just me.
The green type contain silicates which now is found may hasten bearing and seal life in the water pump. The old established Ethylene Glycol rust inhibitors are very limited after two years.
Reply:real bad! you better get your whole system flushed now, the orange and green don't mix and will plug your system up eventually, the orange is the enviromentally friendly anti freeze and as they say lifetime anti freeze and the green stuff should be changed every 2 yrs., you can use one or the other but not together, if you choose to use the green make sure your whole system is completely flushed, heater core and all of the orange stuff.
Reply:Orange is extended life coolant, it has a slightly different chemical composition.... if it wasn't much, it may not hurt, but I would consider flushing it out and replacing it all with the right coolant.

How do you make an orange tree produce fruit?
I have a four year old orange tree i grew from a seed
of an orange i was eating.
it's getting pretty big.
about 5ft. in a pot. i'm in arkansas and have no access to other orange trees how can i pollinate it?
How do you make an orange tree produce fruit?
Use a paint brush to pollinate and then take an apple and slice it and place the pieces on top of the soil. Cover the soil tightly from the edge of the pot to the trunk of the tree with clear plastic wrap. Apples that rot (ferment) produce methane gas that infuses into the soil creating a catalyst for fruit bearing cells to kick into "Drive." You can still water the plant by peeling back the plastic wrap.
Reply:to pollinate it big job get cotton buds or maybe a feather and tickle flowers one two and so on good luck
Reply:Most citrus these days are grafted. So, what you got from seed might not be what you wanted.
Or you might just need to fertilize. You didn't say it was blooming. If it is, bees will pollinate it.
Good luck. Don't overwater. That is the way to get a big green leafy plant with no fruit.

Is orange blossom water similar to orange oil in flavour?
I have an Orange cake recipe that requires the grated zest and juice of an orange and 10 drops of orange oil. Typically I only have orange blossom water. Can I substitute this, or are the flavours too different. Advice please.
Is orange blossom water similar to orange oil in flavour?
Orange oil is alot more intense, Orange Flower water is more aromatic and has a bit of a perfumey aroma.
It is not as strong as the oil and can be over powering if misused, OFW is used more for fruits salads and rice dishes, the oil is more for baked goods were the flavour will stay.
Reply:No it doesn't have that bitterness and it's really floral. Don't use it as a substitute. A better substitute would be orange zest.
But smell it first. See if you like it. You can use it but the recipe will have a different flavor than intended. If you do use it be careful - use small quantities.

My carpet is deep red, tuscan orange on a beige yellow background. What color for the walls?
The print is the red and orange flowers (big, bold and graphic) on the lighter background. The carpet is really the focal point of the room and I don't know if I should go bold or neutral. (This will be a GUEST BEDROOM.) Should I match the red? Go opposite with a cool blue? Do a burnt orange. Tried a dark midnight blue as well as a light turquoise and they looked awful.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:
http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/
Without seeing the carpet but based on what you describe, I think a similar coordinating color such as "cavern clay" (# 7701) would look stunning.
You can also take a photo of your room %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:
http://www.roomvues.com/
You can get color suggestions %26amp; they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
Reply:If there is only a touch of tuscan orange in the carpet then that is what I would do the wall in, burnt orange. I also found a yellow that might actually do well, I think it is called soft lemon, it is almost white but it adds a great touch of yellow.
Reply:Match the paint to the beige-yellow background to keep the carpet the focal point. Add more color to the walls with art.
Reply:I would think a sage green would look nice?! My living room has this color combination in it and I love the way they complement one another. Check out this site for some more ideas....http://blog.forrent.com/
Reply:i would stay neutral...if there is too much going on in the room, it will looked cluttered.
Reply:i say a light yellow

I was going to plant a orange tree from seed how long would it take to grow decent oranges?
I bought the seeds from a shop, it came with the pot and stuff. I’m not sure what type it is though it just says citrus orange on the packet. Is that the type of orange tree or is it just because oranges are a citrus fruit?

IT NORMALLY TAKES ABOUT 7 YEARS. DONT PRUNE UNTIL IT IS DONE FLOWERING. TRY TO KEEP LARGE AND GIVE IT SOME PLANT FOOD
Reply:it takes years
Reply:It takes years, if at all. Most citrus trees that produce are from root stock with another variety attached to it by grafting.
Reply:Durian trees take 10 years for the fruits to grow. Orange should take around 5 to 8 years.
Reply:lol, do not hold you breath, it will take up to 4 years or perhaps more for them to be a viable tree, this is what you plant for the nest generation or the one following it,
. be better to get one around 2 years old and plant it and it will produce fruit for eating in 1 to 3 years

How do i get oranges out of my orange tree?
I have one 20 year old large orange tree that has spikes growing the branches. The other tree is about 7 years old and no spikes. I heard you need a male and female orange tree but i never get flowers to polinate? Does anyone know any tricks or know what i need?
How do i get oranges out of my orange tree?
1. Citrus trees do not have male and female trees.
2. The only reasons that trees will not bloom are neglect, and if they are shaded by other trees. You should have a few fruit even in these cases. Fertilize your trees with any good fertilizer containing micro nutrients. Do this 3 or 4 times per year. If you can spray them with a citrus nutritional spray you can speed up the growth process. Citrus will absorb some nutrients through their leaves. A citrus oil spray will clean up any accumulated insect pests. Citrus oil is approved for organic citrus production. Both of these items should be available at a garden center at modest cost. Water your trees regularly if you do not get enough rain.
Citrus are easy to take care of but they do need some fertilizer or the trees gradually decline.
Reply:Very cool - I don't have an answer for you; just thought it was neat that you have orange trees. I've never even SEEN one except in pictures! I live in Washington, near the Canadian border, and it's MUCH too cold to grow them. We have good apples, though.
Have a good day :-)
Reply:I have 2 in My garden and use a Long telescopic stick with a Wire Cup-shaped holder to pick Mine.
Those spikes can be really painful(Found out Last November when I pruned the tops of them!).
Home Depot have them.
Reply:water 3 times a week in a 2 foot across, 1 foot deep, moat you dug with a shovel at the tree base or you wont see any oranges. soak twice for the water has to reach the roots that are deep.
Reply:water it and throw some miracle grow on it
Reply:buy a monkey or crash your car into it
