Home & Garden - 1 November 2006

I just recieved a sofa and love seat set, and left them outside overnight unfortunately in rained (which wasn't in the forcast) so we brought them in in the morning just to get them from outside. Now two days later and hours of blow drying parts are still wet and the smell of mildew is outragous. any suggestions would be great! Thank you in advance!

Whenever i see an advert for washing powder it says new, improved, better ,enhanced with this that and the other.etc etc,

Does this mean that all washing powders sold up to now have just been junk. and were really useless, Or have they just made a new advert up, used the word new improved etc and really not changed anything at all.
Are the powders really improved. or is it a sales trick??

I have a 3 foot lemon tree, given as a christmas present last year. After leaving it inside over the winter - all the leaves dropped off and the tree trunk bent over (Heat and lack of light i think).

We then placed it outside in the spring, currently the leaves have came back and it has even started to flower heavly. As it is getting colder I am concerned about bringing it in and all the flowers and leaves dropping off again..

Any advice in looking after it, including applying citrus plant food would be appreciated.

I found large growth of fungus in the back of my closet. I know that a leak on my porch is the problem. The builder is addressing that issue ( again ) today. I found the growth last night and have not tried to start cleaning it. I have the builder VP coming out to look at it himself. I've asked them to have a mold specialist come out too. My question now is...What about all our clothes and shoes. Should they be responsible for cleaning them? and how should I got about the cleaning job, I'd hate to spread more around. I have a heat duct in the closet, so I'd guess that mold has gotten into the air system in the house. We are not sick. (thankful) But I don't want to start carrying all these clothes around washing them by my machine and making the problem worse. Should we throw out the carpet? What about the leather shoes thats white dust was on? Builder said that it would be a good idea to stay out of the closet, What would one of you do next? Thanks

It's hasn't been starting, sounds 'clogged'. I just cleaned out all the lint and dust, but should I lubricate?

We are considering central air and heat for our old house. I know very little about heating and cooling. The two current estimates are for a heat pump with back up gas furnace. The heat pump provides heat and air conditioning, with the gas furnace kicking in when it gets under 30 degrees (we live in Missouri). I do prefer gas heat, as it is a warmer heat, but my sister told me some people are not satisfied with their heat pump, not keeping the house truly warm. The heat pump does cost more to install.

I have an Orchid I got at safeway, stem is about 2 feet long and brown, leaves fell off, but bottom 6 inches of stem are still carrying water and bottom inch is green. I took it out of the windowsill cuz i heard that was bad, just gave it a little bit of dilluted food and i've been watering it about once a week. it's now in the livingroom where it will get a moderate amount of indirect light. think it will come back? if i buy a new one, what is the best way to take care of it?

I have an orange tree in the backyard. Last year it gave us nice oranges, this year it has a bunch of small oranges that are all split open. I don't have anything close to a green thumb - more of a "thumb of death" when it comes to plants. Any tips for helping out my poor orange tree?
