Home & Garden - 13 December 2006

This is a harsh chemical and I am to mix it with Lysol or bleach and water. Is there anything else I could use instead? I had a fire damage in my home and I need to clean my walls and remove any smoke odor.

I have tried poison and it is effective but inconvenient. It kills a mole or two but in a few weeks more moles move into the old tunnels. Is there an effective way to rid them from my yard perios. I would like to use a shotgun but unfortunatley I cannot shoot in my neighbor hood. Is there some sort of grass treatment that is effective. P.S. it is winter time here but its like 65 degreess right now.

At last summer's state fair, I purchased the OxiClean washer ball and dryer ball with refills for both. The washer ball is almost gone, and I cannot find a way to replace it, even on the OxiClean website. Does anyone know a store where I can buy the OxiClean washer ball? I live in SE Wisconsin, BTW. Thank you.

Jackets and sweaters that are a silk blend that I have bought often have a distinct, musty odor to them, even brand-new. Why is this and what can I do to fix it?

if i turn my system on constant or timed, it takes 2 hours to heat up the radiators. all the pipes around the boiler and tank are hot, and it is making a humming noise. the pilot light is burning and it seems to be making the right noises. the hot water is ok. the rrom thermostat is up to max and the thermostat on the tank is set to just over 60. why does it take so long for the heating to heat up? help would be appreciated before paying silly rates to a plumber....

I am not home much, so I rarely ever use the thing. I always run the water when I do, and I make sure to run it at least once a week. But every once in a while it still smells gross. I think I heard somewhere that you can't put bleach in there. What can I do?

My kitchen sink refuses to drain and also fills up with water when the washing machine is draining or on spin. There is a pipe located underneath the sink which has a capped end on it and if you release the cap air rushes out and the water tends to drain away. However it is no longer doing this.
I've had the pipes checked and the water board has been to check the main outside drain but there appears to be no probs.
My washing machine is syphoning water back and could be causing this problem or is it something else?
