Home & Garden - 26 February 2007

I know I can use an iron to get wrinkles out of clothes or to put pleats in pants but I can't seem to iron effectively. I'll pass the iron over the wrinkles and they won't go away. Can someone give me a definitive way on how to do this, step by step?

Also can you iron without an ironing board?

I need to buy a new washine machine and I have heard of these new appliances called 'washer dryers' which do both things in one single machine.

I wanted to ask whether anybody has tried them and are they worth it? Somebody said that they are not that good, what do you think? And is any particular brand better than another?

I would like 'tried and tested' answers only please. Thanks

Would any of you organizeed types lay out a simple non-technical daily cleaning routine for me to follow?

As in, Monday - clean bathrooms.
Tuesday - dust and vacuum, etc.

I have 4 kids ages 2, 3, 11 & 12.
A laundromat that I do the daily cleaning and checking after.
A 4 bedroom 3 bath house
80 year old inlaws
Rental properties
and the most time consuming is running the 11 & 12 yr olds around plus dealing with the 12 yr olds err... pre-teen state. ;o)
And then my husband has a business.

I feel overwhelmed. I NEED SOME MORE ORGANIZATION AND ROUTINE. I just don't know how to make a plan I will follow. Thanks in advance.

The lid on my food processor has broken. I have tried to find a webpage for Braun to email them direct. Any suggestions as to where I may find a replacement....that's reasonably priced too!!

I would like to run a 6V device with a 12V battery. I know there is a simple way to do it. I don't know if a resistor would work because I'm not sure that the current is constant. Any suggestions?
