John likes to crack walnuts in his
den. He thinks he’s doing me a favor by catching shells in a towel, dumping them
in the trash, and shaking the crumbs out in the porcelain sink. Now I’ve black
stains in the sink that won’t scrub out. Walnut stains on your hands eventually
fade with lemon juice. Vinegar can help remove them from clothes. Walnut stains
on concrete are forever. I tried to remove them with Clorox, but it didn’t work.
I checked the bottle's label: A820 24907:31CR3. The first two symbols are the manufacturing
plant. “20” is the year it was made. “249” means it was bottled on the 249th
day that year – September 5 – nearly two years ago. Bleach is only at full
strength the first six months. It loses about 20% of its effectiveness every
year. Mine doesn’t even smell like bleach anymore. The good news is I can safely
dump it down the drain. And buy more bleach.
