I have a self wax floor and never put anything on it . Just cleaned it with Windex and water. But it doesn't look as shinny after 5 years. I thought about using Mop & Glow but I am afraid of ruining it or getting a wax build up.

I'm not furnishing a million dollar office, just my studio at home. I don't need to spend $200 on a silly chair, I just want something comfortable for my desk.

I would like to organize a large quantity of yarn. All of this yarn might fit in a 55 gallon outdoors trash can. I want to organize this yarn in different color groups. What would be the cheapest and most space saving way to store this where it's readily available to use at a moments notice?

We are trying to eliminate the odor that comes from our cupboard that holds our plastic garbage can. We have tried baking soda, coffee beans and stickup air deodorizer. The smell seems to have permiated into the wood.

I recently purchased some bedroom furniture a week ago. The largest piece was a wooden dresser that measures approx. 72 inches lenght, 18 inches depth, and 43 inches height. When you enter my house, you ahve to go up a couple of steps to a 2.5 foot by 2.5 foot landing, then turn right to go up a flight of 11 steps. When you go up the 2 step landing there are oak rails on the left.

Well the delivery men couldn't get the piece past the 2.5 square landing. First the tried going straight but the dress nearly hit the ceiling. Then they tried going to the side, meaning going over the oak railing then up, but again ran into problems because of the size of the dresser.

Well I had to reschedule the delivery for a later time. One of the delivery men suggested I should see about removing the railing going up the landing to make things easier.

Well easier said than done of course. I don't have the slightest clue on how to do that.

Suggestions anyone?

My puppy chills on my bed with me sometimes, and she had a bit of an "accident" in the sense of she was stareing right at me, and now there's a nice big urin stain on the comforter. Somehow I don't think throwing it in the washing machine is a good idea, so how do i clean it?

Thanks much.

I've recently gotten into aromatherapy, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience or ideas in making something flamable ( perhaps sawdust in wax) that would infuse our home with some good smelling scent as we burnt a fire?? ( so basically I want a handheld-- SOMETHING-- to place in the fire that would fragrance our home)

thanks,

My roommates have these people from minnesota come and stay on our couch...at least one house guest a month...I don't mind except the last one had no job and was a couch hopper and stunk like a homeless man. I don't want to be rude but I don't trust most people they invite to visit. What should I do?
