What would you do if your window cleaner put his price up?
The old guy was £9 for 10 windows and a big conservatory with about 20 panes of glass. I asked a new window cleaner and he is wanting £35! The old guy sold the round on, so to be nice to the new guy, would be good to keep him on. How do I find out what the going rate is or work out how much the job costs him? How much would you accept the price being put up for? Is it worth looking for another guy?

When drinking water out of glass that's been washed in a dishwasher, it always tastes bitter. I use rise-aid (Jet Dry), which helps minimize residual spots, but doesn't seem to help with bitterness. Should I use another brand of rinse aid, or, is it just my dishwasher that doesn't rinse throughly?

Would that be harmful to a person's butt area? You would think that if a factory could add a small amount of bleach in the cotton toilet paper, it would make for good soft toilet paper that would clean your butt. What do you think of this idea?

I have a washing machine and it's at my backdoor. I have had it at my backdoor for 5 years or so and since I still use my backdoor I have always had furniture sliders under the washing machine. Well all of a sudden one day about a month ago the washer wouldnt slide anymore. I bought new furniture sliders and it still wont slide they way it should with the sliders under it. Do anyone know why or what I should do?

I managed to rip the trousers off of one of my suits at work today. There is a small tear about 2-3cm long and some frayed bits. I just wondered whether I should bin the suit or is there anywhere around that can repair suits? Any ideas??

I'm getting a new washing machine (at last). I've been using a top loading model and looking around the stores, the washing arm is now totally different, so I'm considering buying a front loader. Can you tell me which you prefer top or front loading washing machine?

Any tips on what at-home products I can use on a laminate wood floor? I have used Murphy's Oil Soap in the past but, I don't want to use anything that will leave the floor slick--I have a toddler at home that just started walking and running. Will vinegar diluted with plain water do the trick?

I'm looking for advice from people who have had this problem, or can at least give me a serious answer.

I seem to have an unusually high tolerance for messiness, specifically dry clutter (paper, shoes, etc.). I tell myself I'm going to fix it, I put myself of schedules, but I have a horrendous case of the "It's not too bad, I'll do it later" syndrome, and it piles up. We don't entertain in our home, so I can't use that as motivation. I was raised in a similar environment where housekeeping just wasn't a priority. And I want SO bad to change. My husband flipped a switch somewhere along the lines and it irritates him (unless it's his mess), and now we're expecting a child. I am obviously aware that when babies go mobile they get into EVERYthing, but just as important, I want to break the cycle. But I have to get in the hang of things before Baby gets here.

**I do NOT have science experiements growing in my house, just a lot of dry, disorganized mess.
