I keep hearing this strange sound coming from the direction of one of our floor vents. It's only every few minutes or so, but it's a very short, high-pitched squeak. It sounds almost the same as when tennis shoes squeak on a gym floor. I've never heard a sound like that in this room before. I'm not afraid of bats, but I'm curious if that's what the sound could be.

Is there any easy and/or quick ways to get paint out of carpeting? We painted a bedroom this last weekend, but some paint leaked through the sheets and is on the floor now. Any ideas?

Kenmore model # 110 97573230 will not always start when the start button is pushed. The dryer seems like it wants to start and then nothing. It makes a humming/buzzing noise then nothing. At other times it starts and will run all day. I am thinking that it is either the motor or the contacts to the motor are dirty. Any ideas.

I would like prehistoric, dinosaur, skeleton, paleantology, etc. themed......but not bright kid cartoon, more sophisticated. Something you'd find in a museum gift shop or something.

yrs. So they are pretty dusty. Can I just run a shower on them? Is there a specific way to clean them? If I set them under the shower...would it ruin the baskets?? Thanks

I seemed to have lost pressure in both my hot and cold water just in the past two days. We use city water, not well water. Our pipes are copper. We've noticed it in the shower and at the kitchen sink. No matter how much we turn the nozzle, not much water. Please give me some ideas of what can cause this and how to repair. (Ugh!)

Refrigerator side completely stoped cooling- I had to take the refriderator food and place it in freezer where it is very cold. This is a Maytag Plus it is 6 years old and silly me does not have any warranty left.. Any help will be so appreciated thanks Lisa

After my husband had the apartment maintenance people come and replace the leaky faucet in the shower, our shower pressure, which used to be awesome now is terrible. There's about 1/3 of the water that used to come out. This is a big deal to me. It was so great before....:( My husband only had the faucet replaced because water would come out of the faucet as well as the shower... but in spite of that, the shower pressure was GREAT!

They only replaced the faucet, not the shower head - that is the same as before. Also, if we only have the water on and not the shower, a lot less water comes from it.... Where is the water going? Does anyone have ideas about what happened?

I don't have the pressure that I should. It pulsates out of the gun instead of a 300psi that it should be. I have cleaned and it primes like everything is fine but you turn the switch to spray and it doesn't build up the pressure like it used to. I bought it used and it worked fine for three separate times that I used it. I used latex paint and this time I used catalyzed laquor. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

After a night out drinking I was dismayed to find that I had a mayonnaise stain on my coat resulting from the chips and cheese I ate on the way home. All the care labels on the coat say that it should not be washed. I have scrubbed at the stain with water but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of the stain (preferably without buying some expensive cleaning stuff as I am just a poor student)?

I have just bought my first house and it has a TON of friut trees that have not been maintained over the years. I havr a lawn mower but it does not have a bag, I am wondering what would happen if I mowed over the leaves and left them on the ground. Also, if you have a gas mower, can you mow the lawn when it is wet?

It has been a bit neglected so there is burnt on grease stains I can't remove. Because it's not a flat range I'm hesitant to use a razor blade. I've tried BAM, easy off, goo gone, magic eraser but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
