It seems like my Telivision screen is always dirty. Even a day or two after cleaning. I use Windex. I tried Windex with Vinegar but its the same result a day or two later.

I was thinking about rubbing alcohol but dont know if that would hurt anything. Guess i could try it on an older TV. There has to be something that can cutdown on the way the TV collects dust. Any Ideas?

Should I wait until March - ie the spring, when the growing season starts? I live in the south east - and I suppose you could argue that the weather is so warm now that the grass doesn't stop growing - but all experienced advice would be gratefully received.

Wondering if others with a Shearling Coat would know how to fix a spot that I cleaned off my coat. I spilt food on it, and then cleaned it off with water, now that area is stiffer and shinier that the rest of the coat. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks!!!

stripping agent? I know without seeing the table no one will be able to tell me exactly how long, but I don't know if I should expect to spend minutes, hours or days on the project. Thank you.

my Indesit G32VS dryer is 15 months old, just out of guarantee of course. It has now decided to speed up & revolve one way instead of alternating direction every few seconds. Anybody know which part it requires. many thanks

My backyard floods between January and April along the outmost edge of my property. I want to plant some shrubs or bushes along the edge of my yard where the flooding occurs to alleviate some of the flooding. Can anyone recommend a species of bush or shrub that will grow in zone 5 in a mostly clay soil that is tolerant of very dry and very wet conditions?

I have replaced an ordinary bulb with a flourescent energy saver bulb in an outside lamp . The light comes on automatically at nightfall and has a regular switch indoors, not a dimmer. It starts to flicker after it has warmed up but I can stop the flickering by pressing on the metal body of the lamp body. This seems weird. Is it an earthing problem or what? An ordinary bulb works fine.

How do I know they are dead? They are to small for me to see. I do see their webs though. Are these old webs or cob webs or what?

I shower it a while ago -- you know. In the tub. But the webs remain.

The tree seems to be much healthier. Less dried out but when I shake it I still get a few leaves still falling off.

I hate to spray it again. It lost a lot of leaves but these webs drive me nuts.

I don't trust ads for Ionic filters, like the ones advertised by Sharper Image, but I would like to get one, if they actually work. Any information as to their reliability, the truth of the claims, and/or better filters would be appreciated. Mostly, I'm looking for something where I don't have to keep buying and replacing filters.

I am looking for a bed that will be twin-size during the day and can hold another twin mattress underneath that can be pulled out from under the bed at nighttime. Ideally, I'd like the second mattress to raise up to the height of the daybed so that it wouldbe more like a king-size bed. I already have two standard-size twin mattresses.

I live in downstairs in a house built in the 1920's. As a result, there is little or no closet space either upstairs or downstairs.

There are plenty of windows and wood flooring. This makes it both wonderful ( I love the sunlight because it brightens up the place and the view is terrific) and not so wonderful( the sun makes it hot at times). I live in the South and that makes it difficult at times to put things near windows because of the heat.

Have you got any ideas ?

I live in a California desert community that features 3 small water features--rare for the desert. We are overrun with geese, coots and ducks all winter long and nothing seems to repel them. The grounds are covered with bird excrement to the point I believe it is a health hazard. I have been exploring a product called a Bird-X sonic repellent that scares geese away with the recorded sounds of geese honking in distress. The birds hear the noise and then fly off. I've seen one of these working in an office park in Virginia, but never in California. Does anyone out there have one of these in operation? Are you satisfied with it? Does it keep geese, ducks and coots away? Is the range sufficient? The units are expensive ($825 a piece) and noisy so I want to make sure it works before I make the commitment.

Thank you!
Jodi

I have tried fairy liquid; acetone; baby wipes & ironing on brown paper but nothing will remove the grease stains from my suede jacket which is fawn - of all colours! Does anyone know of anything else I could try? I dont even know if the Dry Cleaner's would be able to remove a grease stain, could they?
