I was just wondering about this. If so, how much do you use? Regular detergent is just so much cheaper.

My husband killed a deer last winter, and we had the head in the deep freeze until he could get it mounted. Sometime the outlet we had it plugged into went out. The head had already thawed out by the time we found it, and boy is it funky. Does anyone have any idea how to get that awful smell out. I have tried bleach, baking soda, letting it air out for about a month. Nothing I have tried has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My garage floor was recently resurfaced and sealed. I did not like the way it turned out, and hired someone to paint it. It appears that even though he used an etching liquid on the floor it did not take, and the paint is coming up. What is the best way to remove the paint and properly prepare the floor for painting?

The wall is in the middle of the room on the first floor and my basement has drywalled ceilings. I was going to just fish it through and hope it made it to the box, but I wanted to see if there was a better way.

I want the collars on my polo shirts and my button down shirts to stay nice and straight. None of that curling business. So I guess I am supposed to iron them with starch (is what i've been reading). What kind of starch do you use, and how do you apply it? Can it be used on dark shirts, or only white shirts? Any other tricks for keeping the collars from getting out of shape? (other than hang drying, I already know that one). thanks!

I want some decorative storage boxes for general stuff that I can put in my sitting room. They need to be cheapish.

I know you can get some from IKEA but I am not too keen on them. Any other places I should look in London or online for a bargin box?

also when I pinpoint the location, the sounds stops. How do I get rid of them? Are they a serious problem, (not sure if they go away on their own or in colder weather)? Who do I call to get rid of them? I can't determine how they got in, the home is newly built, brick accents and paneling.
Please help if you have experience, because this is quite frightening!

It is currently painted white (by the previous owners) but I want to convert it back to its original glory! Was thinking of giving it a lick of proper black flame retardent paint.

I love the birds, but not their crap! And I can't move the feeders, because I live in a town house, and so there's pretty much only one place to put them. Any advice would be so great--thanks!

I heard bleach does not in fact kill mold, so I was wondering if H202 does? I have mold on my floor joists, a dehumidifier is running in the basement to take care of the moisture problem as the basement is sealed, but just sat with moisture for a few months. So my source of the problem is fixed.

I need some ideas for my house--each room can be related or different, but I have a son and a husband, so nothing hot pink! I like the beach, and I lettered in swim, so the beach stuff is very cozy, but I'd love some CRAZY ideas about themes for rooms! Shoot them my way!

My vinyl flooring was damaged by an engineer whilst fixing it.The abstract below is taken from a letter sent to me. Would this stand up against me in a small claims court, or could I expect the full price of the vinyl flooring, from lowest quotation submitted? could you back up your answer with evidence?

With regard to your flooring claim, all settlements are made based on the Insurance Lawn Indemnity, where broadly speaking the replacement cost of the damaged goods is reduced pro rata to its normal useful lifespan. It is always my intention to see that our customers are treated in a fair and reasonable way and that they get value for money and I think that if we follow the guidelines set down by the law, we will achieve that aim.
