I bought some books at a yard sale for my little boy, rare books that I couldn't pass up. But I don't want him to touch them until I get them cleaned up. Seems like I read in a magazine years ago about putting them in a microwave, anyone heard of this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I bought a big HUGE tub of Country Crock butter and accidnenlt dropped it a second ago. Well, the bottom of it cracked open and some butter is pooping out the bottom. i frefuse to throw the whole thing away since it is preactically brand new...but it is not going to hold the butter in on the bottom anymore. What can I put the butter in? Or should I try to patch the bottom of the tub somehow? Will my butter keep in a different container- is that a crazy question???

Just moved into a new place and cannot get the central heating to work.

All I know is:

1. The boiler is working and pilot light is on

2. The thermostate is turned up

Any ideas why the rads are not heating? Thanks

I moved into an apartment and am on my own. How often should I pull my refrigerator and stove from the wall and clean behind and under it? Is once a year okay? Do I just vacuum or should I also use soap & water on the back coils and other metal parts? Do you have to clean behind your dishwasher also?

Also, while I'm asking - there is a 2 inch stain in my tiolet and I've scrubbed like crazy but it's still there. Can I use bleach in an off-white tiolet bowl? It actually looks like a thin line of rust.

Thanks for your advice!

I sprayed alcohol directly onto my carpet in order to clean some fresh water-based paint. I was able to remove the paint but the alcohol created stain on my carpet.

We just bought a new house in Feb. this year. We find there are many problems with it, and we call the builder to fix them, but they are avoiding us, and now the ceilling which is under a bathtub of upstairs is leaking again. The liability is 1 yr. How can we make them work on our house effectively, and if the same old problems happen again in a short term, what should we do? can we ask for some indemnity from them? Do consumers play passive roles when we buying a house?

There is a very light coating of paint which covers the middle of almost every step going down the stairs, Its as if paint has been cleaned from the bottom of someones shoes but they have not cleaned it properly and then walked down the stairs.

I don't know much about painting, so last year I painted over a door without using primer. Now the new coat of paint comes off if it's bumped or scratched - so the door looks terrible. I think the original coat was glossy latex paint, and the paint I used was flat latex. Is there a way I can paint over it, or do I have to do the laborious job of removing the previous layers of paint?
