I have a stirling silver tea and coffee service. The inside of the teapot is covered with layers of tea stains. How do I clean it?
Also, the creamer has some milk resdue.
Any suggestions?
I love using the set for tea with guests. I'd hate to stop using it.

I cut my boyfriends hair a while back, and I was wearing my gym outfit made of a cotton/polyester blend. Now I have his hair stuck all thru my outfit. I have washed it several times, but can't seem to get the hair out. And it itches like hell. Any tips on how I can get it out? I thought there must be a few hairdressers out there who deal with this problem from time to time. Thanks for any help.

I have an outside door that has a Corbin Series 100 door closure. The door seems to close slowly enough, but just before shutting it loses its effect and the door loudly slams shut.. I have no directions, and wonder if there is a "screw" to turn to soften the closing or if the closure is defective and needs replacing.

If it needs replacing, where do I go to get the replacement.

I'm fairly handy with tools, but this is all new to me.

They are wired into each other, so when one goes off they all go off. They are 12 years old; Am I looking at a wiring problem or a smoke detector problem? How can I fix this and who should I go to.

We discovered worms in our inground spa. The worms were needle thin and looked like they had a head on both ends. We have chlorine in the pool but it did not seem to bother these worms. They swim around in it like it is their native habitat.

Anyone else have that same issue?

My family is moving from Louisiana to Tennessee. I looked into PODS, but they don't operate in our area of Ten. (Cookeville). It would cost us roughly $850 to use U-Haul and to pack ourselves and this isn't including gas. Does anyone know of any other ways? We set aside only $1000 for the move. We have a 3 bedroom house to move, but no big kitchen items (like fridge and washer and dryer), just living room and bedroom furniture and other household items. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The kitchen is an extension on the back of our house, it has 3 exterior walls. 1 wall consists entirely of cupboards. These are continually becoming damp and growing mold. Pots and pans and any food are also being covered in mold. We clean them regularly with anti-mold spray but the problem persists. The walls next to the cupboards are also wet. The hob has an extractor fan over it which we use. We usually have the kitchen doors open (to outdoors and the living rooms) while we cook, and heat the kitchen well once we have finished for the evening. How can we over come this?

Hey..

Looking for someone help with my garage door opener.

Door was opening fine in warmer temps, now in cold, it's only opening up a foot or two. If I assisted with a bit of a lift, it would open the full way no problem (there was no grinding, nothing sounded wrong, it was just like it gave up!)

So, I opened her up, but in the process of diagnosing - I stripped the large white plastic gear. (probably not the actual problem, now just a secondary!)

It's a craftsman 139.18854 model.

Should I just give up on this 10 year old opener? or should I replace the cheap plastic gear, and try and work out why it was giving up part way through the pull. (it would reverse when the button was pushed).

Any help is appreciated!!!

I am in the ottawa, ontario area.

Thanks in advance,

- Simon

This question is gonna have to do with my old question which is here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApAzVKLOJR_.pEgH4_igApfsy6IX?qid=20061207162703AAacpbN

My dad said we aren't gonna need any primer to do it and I think he's out of his mind. Not only are there little holes in the walls (and numerous big ones) and lots stained patches of stickiness that came from tape but I think the color that I want to paint my room (light purple) wont cover up the texture (wich is sorta like cross-hatching lines) and design of the wall paper. I tried to explain it to him but my dad's kind of hard headed when it comes to things like this....he thinks he knows everything. So do you think it's gonna come out ok with my dads idea or do we desperatly need to used 2 coats of primer.
Here's a picture of my wall: http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b328/MetalChick8591/?action=view¤t=000_2550.jpg

Please let me know what you think. I need as many answers as possible. Thanks.
