I heard that quality knifes should not be cleaned in dishwasher because the soap is to violent and will damage the blades, what about the health?

I have used him before with no problems but when I looked the cuts are all jagged, he's letting his helper cut the flag stones, I need to speak to him today but worried he's going to make excuses - I mean it should be possible to cut these in a straight line shouldn't it? The job so far looks dreadful along the edge where they should all finish in a straight line.

I'm 17 and will be out of my parent's place in about 3-4 months with a room mate. I was wondering what some necessities would be besides the obvious (eg. furniture, silverware, towels, food, etc). It's really hard to find a list about the things your going to need but don't realize it.

I have always wondered what the real defination of a mansion is. I know it means a really big house but I just notice new large homes being developed around my community and some are getting larger and larger. Would a 6,200 sqft house be considered a mansion? I mean how many sqft do you need in order to determine that your house is a mansion?

I have several pairs of patent leather heels and the problem I'm having with the white, pink, and light blue ones are that the heels have brushed against the front end of the opposing shoes from the rare trip or awkward step, this has left unsightly black scuffmarks, I've tried using Goo Gone with no luck, could someone say what would remove these marks? Thanks.

HI, I living in Singapore. I got a room in my flat that has this problem of the wall. It can get moldy and I can always see small mites crawling on the wall.

I tried to wipe it sometimes with Dettol or some cleaning detergent. Obviously the mold keep coming back.....

It is a cement painted wall.

How do I resolve this?

And also, how I get rid of those small mites crawling around? I see them on wooden furniture/tables. Are these dust mites?

i have an electrical outlet that has a 5 plug adaptor plugged into it. The adaptor has two lights, one which says protected and the other says grounded. everything will be fine for a while and then all power to the unit will disapear and the lights on the adaptor go off. Last time this happened i replaced the outlet and everything was peachy keen until it recently failed again. The outlet still seems to work if the adaptor is pushed hard against it, but not to work regularly. I was wondering if i could replace the outlet with one rated for a higher amperage or even a gfci outlet and would this help the problem. the outlet has a phone, answering machine, toaster oven and coffeemaker running on it, and we try to not run the toaster oven and the coffemaker at the same time. What would cause the outlet to repeatedly fail and how can i fix the problem? thanks.

Ever notice when you wash pants, the groin area always seem to fade first? Why does this happen? It's not as though that particular area is made of different material or exposed to more friction, sunlight, wear, etc. So why does the groin area of the pants fade faster than any other area in the pants?

I'm looking into buying an air cleaner/purifier. All I really want to do is to get rid of dusts floating in the air and I don't really care about removing others like odors and other invisible particles. I also don't want anything that creates ozon as I read that could cause bit of lung issue. I need one that will cover large area (at least 300 sq. ft). And I want to avoid expensive filters or maybe just have one that I can vaccum out. As for price, hopefully under $150. I've been searching on the web and haven't really run into the kind that I like or they were very expensive. If anyone knows one that I might like, please tell me. Thank you.

I was given some lovely towels for Xmas, but recently they have started to feel very harsh against the skin, Soaking them in lots of fabric softener doesn't seem to help! I really don't want to buy a whole new set, so any suggestions would be welcome!
