Home & Garden - 4 September 2006

I did a little art project in the bathroom and ended up with acrylic paint splatters on the tub. Is there any way I can remove them, or do I have to chip them off one by one with my fingernail? (They do come off this way but it takes forever!)

It's hard to find people to fix them because the cost of fixing is usually about as much as the appliance. Is there a place to recycle??

The problem is the pool at my grandma's house is now more of a pond then a pool. It has been this way for at least 2 years now if not more and there are tons of frogs and tadpoles in it. The reason it got this way to begin with was that the pump system got messed up and the drain stopped working. Is there a way to have it drained externally by a company or something along those lines. She wants to try and sell her house but the pool is a big blemish on the property especially considering all the frogs that live there now. Thanks for any help you can offer with this.

My boyfriend and I are thinking about buying a modular house...but we are afraid that is not solid enough, that we will have problems with it or that it is not good like brick houses... what are your experiences? is modular house the same thing as fabricated house? English is not my native language so I am not sure. thanks

I'd like to go with The Maids or Merry Maids because they are large companies that have good reputations and are fully bonded and insured. Has anyone ever used either or both? I know they are priced comparably. Good experiences? Bad experiences?

the walls mildew. We've tried painting with that Kiltz stuff to prevent the mildew but it keeps coming back. Is there any effective way to make it go away without tearing the walls out and doing other stuff to the house. Is there anyway to clean it to make it go away?

I've always put the laundry in the washer, put the soap in, then turned the machine on...

I moved in with my boyfriend and his family, and his mom is telling me that I have to turn the washer on, put the soap in, THEN the laundry.........

Which is the correct way?

We are having a small vegetable patch as part of our determination to 'go green'. However we are not experienced gardeners and would welcome any tips.
Thank you

I have expensive dress shirts for work and I normally only wash them every two weeks because they don't get dirty that much.

I've noticed in the past my shirts seem worn out when using the wash and dryer, I used cold water and Tide Cold Water detergent.

-Should I dry clean?
-Should I was my dress cloths separatly or with all of my other cloths?
-What detergent is best? I've seen Arm and Hammer Delicare
