I love Gain but the fragrance does not last in the closet or drawers.

Okay, I live in an old bungalow, built 1924--I imagine ALL the paint is lead-based, I've burnt off tons of it with a heat gun and probably lost more than a few brain cells along the way. But seriously, I can't afford the HAZMAT guys in the white suits---I just have some baseboards left. Can I buy a better respirator filter thing and burn, or is liquid the way to go?

Does anyone know that if you mix liquid fabric softner and hot water together, put it in a spray bottle and spray it on wallpaper it comes right off?? Well if you didn't, you do now. Works like a charm and leaves the room smelling great!

The flap that opens up to let the water out when the toilet flushes gets stuck and does not fall back down after the water level goes down. As a result the water continues to run until you push the flap down manually so the toilet will refill.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to correct this problem?

I've tried drano and drano like products but nothing has worked. I'm pretty handy but my plumbing experience is limited to changing out hardware. Is there a tool I can rent/buy or another method that I don't know of. Not many tasks around the house are too big for me and I'm trying to save money

I owe a house which is having bank loan on it ,the loan which was taken by the previous owner.i knew this fact.but I purchased it because i felt that i would clear up the bank loan.but now i have weakened my financial position.so i am unable to clear that loan.Recently i met few people who showed interest in purchasing my house and were also ready to clear the bank loan.Now new problem occured.i found that i have misplaced my original papers of agreement and registration,which was done between me and the former owner of the house.Now i fear that the bank may capture my house and i will get nothing as its been so long that i have not paid the installments of loan to the bank.i had paid only few installments initially.I want to save my property,please help me.-vishwadeep

I wont to spray and I wont to spray all my cabinets w/ dishes and food in them and every other place in my house. But my concern is. As I said I wont to spray where food and dishes go. But my delima is do I wash the cabients out w/ hot water after I've sprayed. Myself I think that defets the purpose cuz then I'm washing off what I just put on. I don't know how to go about this. Never have done it before. So anyone who can give me sound advice is much thanked... Thanks for your time...

I used my mom's Singer Stylist 834, it sat on a shelf for about 10 years untouched, now the bobbin gear broke into two pieces. I called a local shop, they said it is about a $75 charge. Being that this is the first of the gears to break, am I better off buying a new unit, or is it something that they built them better "back in the day"?
