I have often heard that it is best to use cold water when using bleach for various purposes.

When bleaching whites cold water is said to work best.

But what about when using bleach just to clean and disinfect things? Do you use cold water or hot water?

i often find dead spiders near my kitchen window, but not really anywhere else in the house. is there any reason for this? do they venture inside just to die, or do they die looking for a way out? i live in kansas, and usually (but not always) the spiders are brown recluses, so i'm glad to see them go, but wtf?

Question please.
Looking in the evening news paper to night at a training course,

Reads :- 5 day course (Mon/Fri) course available in ELECTRICAL
This is a nationaly recognised qualification to VRQ level 2 for a domestic electrical installer "including part P" -----no experience necessary.

THE COST £995.

Is this course worth the money and could the average person "QUALIFY" in one week.

I apreciate you would not have the practical experience people gain over year's

Could you seriously wire your own house up as you would have passed at part P exam.

Also what is a VQR LEVEL 2 GRADE.

How do I get that stuff off? I've tried CLR diluted in water like the directions say. I use a rinse agent in my dishwasher, and I've also tried straight lemon juice --- squeezed lovingly by hand, but nothing has worked. All my glasses, the wine glasses especially look as if I have never washed them. They have that yukcy dishwasher film on them. Any suggestions?
thanks

The heating programmer seems to work ok but the house gets too warm and the thermostat doesn't seem to automatically switch off and back on again as the house cools we have to manually turn the dial. Engineers have checked the thermostat with the hairdryer test and it seems to work then. It seems like the thermostat is not talking to the boiler so we are either boiling hot or freezing cold. Help!

I am replacing a ceiling light fixture. I have a black, white and ground wire in the ceiling box. The two wires on the fixture are the same color. How do I determine which one is "hot"? If I erroneously connect the hot wire from the ceiling box to the neutral wire from the fixture, will I damage the fixture?

do they make cfl bulbs that I could place in my recessed lighting in my living room? right now it looks like the bulbs in them are simliar to a flood light bulb, it probably is not, but thats what they look like. Also these lights have dimmers on them, I figure i'd have to find a light that is ok with dimming
I also have 6 bulbs in my bathroom vanity that i would like to replace as well, i believe the sockets on those are smaller than the standard cfl bulb.

thoughts?

I have pulled out the dryer, cleaned the hose that goes into the wall and into the dryer, and thoroughly cleaned the lint trap. The clothes get a little dry in the dryer but are still very damp after cycle is done. The dryer is heating up. It is a whirlpool electric dryer, a couple of years old.
