I have been looking for Bon Ami in San Diego. I can't seem to locate it. I want to use it to polish my counter tops. Or can someone advise another product that would do the trick!

Left my tennis shoes on the front porch a couple of nights ago and they got soaked by a rain storm, the tennis shoes are dry now, but what a stink. Do I have to throw them away or is there something that will get the stink and dampness out on the inside? Home remedies welcome. Thanks.

When I was a kid I weeded the flower beds once a week for maybe an hour and they always looked great. In my own yard it seems like weeding is all I do and it still looks like a jungle. I'm about ready to give up and pave it over. Can you give me any suggestions?

I have 7 houseplants that I do not know the names of. I wanted to upload pictures on yahooanswers but I guess that is not an option. Does anyone know how I can easily go about finding out the types of plants I own??

Is the primary or secondary rod the culprit, or could it be both rods?

My apt. is pretty old and every few months the drain in my shower starts clogging up and I have inches of water at my feet so I Drano it and clean out the accumulated hair and then it drains well again (until another couple of months) but I've done that and it's still draining slowly. I have done the Drano thing with two bottles but to no avail. Am I going to have to call a plumber (if so, about how much will that cost?) or is there something else I'm not doing.....Thanks!

I have a cellar that is in very bad shape. I am wanting to just fill it with concrete or dirt or something. My main concern for doing this is that i dont want it to cave in when someone is near it. Can someone tell me about how much it would cost to fill a 10 ft x 10 ft box full of concrete?

I am now seeing the stain on the floor boards spotting in several areas. Dark spots showing where the wood is showing through the stain now. I used Behr oil-based wood stain. How do I repair the deck now? It is still raining, not dry yet. Do I have a lot more work ahead of me now?
