Before you spray the rocks, it's a good idea to go over the rocks vigorously with a push broom. Work from one end to the other, scrubbing the surface of each rock. This will help break up any dirt that's dried on the surface of the rocks, making it easier to clean. Even if the rocks are rounded or creviced on top, rather than being smooth and flat like pavers, try to sweep them off the best you can.

Stand away from the area you want to clean, and hold the nozzle of the pressure washer at an angle so the water and dirt don't ricochet toward your face. Using a sweeping motion, work from one end of the rocks to the other. Spray the crevices around the rocks, then all across the surface of each one. This should blast away even the most stubborn dirt. It's a good idea to wear safety equipment like long-sleeved clothing, long pants, and safety glasses, since the force from a pressure washer can sometimes send debris flying. If you don't have a pressure washer, you may be able to rent one from a hardware store in your area.

Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin healthy and reduces your chances of developing stretch marks. Try to drink approximately two liters per day. A balanced, nutritious diet is good for your overall health, and can also reduce your chances of developing stretch marks. Supplements are not necessary to prevent stretch marks, but you should try to get enough of certain vitamins and minerals that can help protect against stretch marks. Vitamin E helps to regenerate the skin and increase its elasticity, and to repair body tissues and promote blood flow. Vitamin E also encourages the production of collagen, a protein found in the skin and elsewhere that helps wounds heal, including stretch marks. You can get more vitamin E by choosing certain foods, and perhaps from certain skin creams. Foods high in vitamin E include: eggs, fortified cereals, fruit, green leafy vegetables (such as spinach), meat, nuts, nut oils, poultry, olive oil, and whole grains. Wheat germ is high in vitamin E, so you can include more of it in your diet. Anecdotal evidence suggests that wheat germ oil as an ointment can help your skin. Creams containing vitamin E aren't likely to prevent stretch marks as such. However, they may help with itching and skin dryness. The recommended daily allowance of vitamin E is 15 mg per day for both men and women. Exfoliating creams containing vitamin E can scrub away old skin and promote the growth of new skin. Vitamin C is the most plentiful antioxidant in the skin, and helps neutralize free radicals (damaging molecules) and promote skin health.Like vitamin E, vitamin C also helps the body make collagen. Foods high in vitamin C include: cantaloupe, citrus fruits and juices (such as orange and grapefruit), mango, pineapple, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, spinach, and cabbage. You can also use topical creams containing vitamin C. As with vitamin E creams, these cannot prevent stretch marks, but there is a chance that they may discourage them. Recommended daily allowances for vitamin C are 90 and 75 mg per day for both men and women, respectively. Riboflavin promotes healthy skin and skin function. It also widens blood vessels and increases blood circulation. Niacin helps deter many kinds of skin disorders. Foods high in riboflavin include: milk and other dairy products, fish, meats, green leafy vegetables, enriched cereals and breads, and whole grains. Foods high in niacin include: meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, and whole grains. Zinc helps prevent stretch marks by softening and tightening the skin. Foods high in zinc include: beef, pork, shellfish, peanuts, and legumes (such as beans and lentils). Excessive zinc intake can cause a range of health problems. While the amount of zinc consumed in common foods is perfectly safe, supplements and other products can be overused. Talk with your doctor about the proper dosage of zinc for you, given your age, health, and other factors. Zinc also plays an important role in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Zinc toxicity has been seen in the consumption of greater than 225 mg of zinc. Some studies suggest that silica can improve the appearance and strength of skin. It is also associated with collagen production, connective tissue in the skin, and the repair of the skin. Dietary sources of silica include: whole grains, cereals, beer, and green beans.

Diluted dishwasher detergent can help neutralize bleach stains on fabric, upholstery, and carpet. Different materials will require different water temperatures in order to be effective. For fabric and upholstery, mix 1 tablespoon (15mL) of liquid dishwasher detergent with 2 cups (470mL) of cool water. For carpet, mix 1 tablespoon (15mL) of liquid dishwasher detergent with 2 cups (470mL) of warm water. Warm water is typically preferred over cold water to treat or clean carpets as it is more effective in lifting dirt and liquid residues from the carpet fibers. Most professional carpet cleaners only use warm water to clean carpets. Work from the outside of the stain towards the center. You will have a better chance of reversing the less saturated areas away from the central point, so focus on the edges first. If you do not have a white cloth, use a colored cloth or cotton balls instead. Since you are lifting the bleach stain, it may stain whatever cloth you choose to use. You want to give the dishwasher detergent solution a chance to lift up the bleach stain. Just make sure the area is saturated with the solution before letting it soak. This will help remove any of the bleach residue that was lifted by the diluted dishwasher detergent. Continue to blot the area until it is dry, or until no more of the bleach is lifting from the treated area. Blot at the stain with more solution and rinse it with more clean water until the stain is less noticeable, or until you are satisfied with the results. The treated area of the carpet might be stiff or a bit matted once you are done cleaning it. Leave the carpet to dry overnight, and then run a vacuum over the carpet in the morning. To speed up the drying process, press paper towels into the carpet to absorb any excess liquid.
