HOW TO CLEAN A GOURD Cleaning the Exterior of the Gourd All you really need to clean dried gourds are a non scratching Teflon pan cleaner such as a chore boy or a copper scrubbing ball, some warm water and dish detergent.
DEFINITION of 'Duress'. The act of using force, false imprisonment, coercion, threats or psychological pressure to compel someone to act contrary to his or her wishes or interests. Duress is also used as a form of defense to a crime by a defendant who is compelled or coerced to commit the crime because they are under serious imminent harm to themselves or others.
Economic duress is a situation where one party to a contract gets the raw end of a deal. The duress occurs because the party has no other choice but to give into the other party's demands. Thankfully, there is relief in court because one can argue the defense of economic duress and attempt to get their money back.
