I have a blue wool coat and want to dye it black. Is there a professional that does this or can I do it myself in my own washing machine? And, if I can, is there a danger of shrinkage? Thank you.

I have a long glass bottle that I want to re-use for vinegar for cooking. There is some kind of grime stuck to the bottom of the bottle -- well out of reach of any bottle brush. I have let the bottle soak, have poured boiling water in, and used both dish soap and stronger household cleaners, to no avail.

I have a problem with my cooker that i have had it installed by a corgi registered plumber and it is faulty that it gets really hot to touch the sides and it has ruined my cupboards. I have been in touch with belling who have told me that it is regulation to have a certain distance from your cooker to your cupboards or have panels fitted to the side. Is this true?

Doesn't it make sense to go from Off to Low, then Medium, and then High? Why start with High? Is there a reason or story behind this?

This is kind of gross but what do people do about their "wet patch" re it staining the mattress/damaging the electric blanket underneath? Also does the average person change their sheets after each "encounter" or do they wait for a few "encounters". Just wondering what's "normal" I guess.

My house has wood siding. I need to strip the older, flaky paint, re-paint and seal it. I have never done this before. After scraping the old paint, what grit(or grits) of sandpaper should I sand with? And should I get some type of sealer for after I paint to keep it looking good for several years. HELP!!!!!
