My cat peed on my polyester boots. The only thing they are made of is the rubber sole heel and the polyester upper and lining. They are very simple with no natural material. I was going to wash them in the kitchen sink, cold water with soap and then vinegar. Is this the correct way to clean and deodorize these boots? I just dont want to mess up the polyester. :) Thanks

Has anyone bought a house and then realised that they had made a dreadful mistake - too much needed doing to it - horrible neighbours etc etc.
What did you do about it ?

My septic alarm went off last night. After replacing a blown fuse, within 30 seconds the new fuse blew again. Any idea's what the problem may be? This is a new home ~ 1 year old. Help!

Or does putting gravel down give the local kids stuff to throw at you?

Old shingles are in good condition but the staples used to hold them down are weak and some keep blowing off the roof ...so...I want to just reshingle the roof (and change color). Can I tack new shingles right on top of the old ones?

How can I save all of my books from getting damaged and eaten by bugs and mites. My apartment is very moist, especially the closets, where I am currently storing my books and boxes. some of them are growing mold and I notice little mites in them. My space is limited, so I need something that works and clutter free.

I just moved to a new apartment, and the living room is very small. The cabinets in the open kitchen/living room are red laminate with silver handles, i guess it's trying to be modern looking, and one wall in the living room is painted red, the others are white, and its darker hardwood floor. The kitchen is visible from living room, it's red cabinets, white appliances, and dark greenish granite counter. I have no idea what my color scheme should be! What color sofa should I get that goes with a red wall? I want a contemporary style, but kind of retro looking maybe.

It has a build up of what seems to be remnants of scorched on clothing! I have tried rubbing with soap and water and nothing works.
