Our Propane dealer has told us they need to replace two regulators and we are on the list but it seems that we are using quite a bit of over priced propane in the meantime.

So much water is wasted washing paint brushes and roller trays covered in water-based paint. Can anyone suggest a way to wash them using less water?

How do I find out why two bulbs in my tanning bed don't work? Changing the bulbs does not help. They just don't work at all.

I live within city limits, so I'd like to find a relatively quiet breed, but one that will produce a reasonable quantity of eggs.

Is there a breed that is disease resistant, quiet, a good producer, and easy to maintain?

I recently purchased a new comforter set. The care tag says "dry clean only". I have not as yet tried Dryel and so do not know how well it works. My question is this: Should I follow the manufacturer's recommendation and take my bedding to the dry cleaner or do you think it will be safe using Dryel to clean it?

I just bought a home which was a foreclosure. Because of this, it was bank owned and they have no information on the hot tub that came with the house. I have no way of contacting the previous owners, but even if I did, I doubt they'd be helpful in helping me with their hot tub that they lost to foreclosure.

The hot tub itself seems in pretty good shape. No visible cracks. It's mounted on a wood deck. And it was covered well, only a small bit of mucky water inside of it. I've never owned a hot tub before, so I'm a complete newbie when it comes to them. Can anyone get me started on what I would need to know to see if it works, cleaning it (emptying that mucky water would be a good start), and making sure its safe? I would hate to be electrocuted the first time I set foot in it, though I'm sure thats a totally irrational fear. It looks well built and sturdy. The house was built in 2000 so the hot tub itself can't possibly be older than that.

Thank you for any assistance.

No matter how expensive the shirt is, my husbands polo-style golf shirts, after washing a few times, the collars start fading and get a "ring" where the collar folds over. Its very frustrating, I am washing exactly as the shirt says. I even read to turn the shirts inside out and unfold collar during washing, and this helps some, but still eventually they fade so bad, he will no longer where the shirt. Please help?

When I wash a load of dark clothes, it seems the fleece type clothing gets dark "greasy" looking spots on them after washing and drying? What is this and why does it only seem to do that type of clothing and color? How to prevent it from happening?
