I bought a jacket about 3 weeks ago and it was expensive but a large patch on the shoulder isn't waxy/ shiney or tough like the rest of the jacket, it is soft and almost like a chamie cloth... itisn't terrible or anything but i don't think it would repel rain and over time it would begin to look worn. What can i put on it to protect it and make it like the rest of the jacket? I can't take it back to the shop as i bought it in Edinburgh and i live far away from there. What would you suggest? Thanks!

I was in my friend's house, her mom was cleaning one of the rooms and there were dusts everywhere. Everytime I come in, I could smell it. Why do dusts have smell?

I am getting a dog in a few days and need to pick up my house. My husband does computer repairs and so there are parts all over the place. What is the quickest way to clean a house that has two bed, two bath, living room, kitchen, laundry area, and very little furniture.

I adopted the greatest one year old dog five weeks ago to the day, and the first few weeks, she would frequently pee/poop on the rug. I was pretty diligent about cleaning it, however, I didn’t get a rug cleaner and although she has not defecated inside in over two weeks, the stains appear to be coming up more visible. I will be renting a rug cleaner in the morning in hopes that they will vanish after a good cleaning. Any thoughts? I rent, and am afraid the deposit will be forfeited as a result of my canine. Also, she is very good about going potty outside, and I hope that with the rug cleaner, her scent will vanish and she will have no future desire to go inside. Thanks

Completely frivolous question, but for the life of me, I've never been able to figure out how to do this and not have it end up looking like a big ol' mess...lol.
Just curious...

I'd like to be able to soak some stains with bleach. The stains area right at the water line though, so I need to raise the water level. I know about the float in the tank, but I think it's as high as it will go. If I just add liquid to the bowl it seeps out until the level returns to normal. Any ideas on how to raise the water level in the bowl, even for just 10 minutes?
