I have black stains on my iron. I have tried washing it with soap and water, but nothing. What can I do to get it clean? It is leaving marks on my clothes.

I had a repair technician come out to my home as my AC did not seem to be keeping up with the heat. They quoted me $104 and they would tell me what needs to be done for that price and then deduct it if they did the work.

They come out and said my coolant was "5 pounds low" They added the 5 pounds at $29 per pound. Then the service guy crawled up into the attic and said there ws ice buildup. He went back and fourth and between the unit and attic for over an hour. Doing what, I'm not sure.

He then puts everything back together and hands me a bill for $389!

After he left, I crawled into the attic in the exact spot he claimed the ice was and found nothing, not even any moisture or wettness on any piping.

I think I was totally ripped off.

I have a window air conditioner (8000btu) which does a great job of cooling my living room, unfortunately, the cooler air stays in just the living room, so the bedroom is still hot. I have 2 fans to help move the air. I also have a ceiling fan in the bedroom, but, it seems the bedroom is always FAR warmer than the living room. I'm wondering the best way to position the fans to get maximum cooling effect in the bedroom.

The living room is essentially a square -- on one side of the square - in the middle - is the window with the AC.. oppisite the AC is the hallway which leads to the bedroom.

Would I be better off putting a fan at the entrance to the hallway blowing the air out of the living room, and down the hallway? or put it in the center of the living room, and blow the air towards the hallway? Or should I blow the hot air out of the bedroom, to the livingroom? Should I put the fans up high? or close to the ground? Should I turn off the ceiling fan in the bedroom?

Thanks.

Our backyard pool is a monster! It greens up if you look at it crossways, and even when it's about the right color it's cloudy as heck. Chemical tests show we've gotten the PH good, but hardly any chlorine to show for all the chlorine we've been dumping in there! What are we missing?

I mean, the best I can come up with is "This is how you plant a seed", or "This is a shovel, it is used for...."
Preferably nothing that involves carrying around dirt etc.
Any ideas?

My in-laws recently rented a house out to a family. A couple months ago, they left without notice, and left the house completely trashed. We're trying to get the house ready to rent again, but the kitchen appliances are covered in grease. What will work well to clean the grease?

I have a GE washer (model WWSR3130W1WW) and last night when I went to do some laundry, it ran, but at the end of the cycle it wouldnt spin. My clothes were drenched (yeck). I tried to restart it, but it just wouldn't spin. I'm thinking (because its been squeeky lately) that the belt broke or the pulley is frozen maybe. But I can't figure out how to open my washer up to peek inside. Any help is appreciated!

I have a 2002 Hornet travel trailer and the A/C keeps on throwing the breaker. I am not running anything else, and it runs for like 5 minutes, then shuts off, and I have to keep on walking back there and pushing the switch down and up. Any suggestions?

I installed my new air conditioner as instructed in my manual. I think it may be slanted backwards a tad more than recommended. Anyways, she started up fine, but after about 20 minutes began to make a noise that sounded like the fan was rubbing on something slightly. I beleive, water is building up inside the air conditioner and not evaporating/draining properly. This is causing the fan to slosh water inside the unit.

Anyways, my questions are:
* Can this be possible?
* How can I fix the noise?
* Is this dangerous?
* Or am I just an idiot?

Thanks in advance.
