My daughter put "some make-up" on her all Barbies and other dolls with a black ball point pen. I tried all detergent but it won't go. Is there any way to remove it?

My gas is leaking into the oil and everytime I mow I have to drain oil out and put new oil in. I've checked to see if there is a cut off valve for the gas and I can't find one. What can I do to fix this problem?
Also, for some reason my lawn mower is not taking hills or slopes to well anymore. My mower will go so slow that it will quit. Could this be my belt?

Right now, my fire alarms are going off once every 10 minutes. I have checked my entire house, nothing is on fire. What the heck is going on and who do I call to stop it? Keep in mind, its almost 11pm local time.

Our grout was originally white, and we purchased it from a tile place that is no longer in business. Our tile runs from the base of the shower to the ceiling. Most of the grout is OK.

After years of cleaning and fighting back mold with bleach applications, I've discovered that the grout in areas that received the heaviest bleach treatments have become rough, and pitted -- ugly. The worst part is some of the grout around the tiles closer to the floor. The grouting is progressively better looking the higher up the wall you look.

I'm working my way through college and try to acquire as many side jobs as possible. I just got done painting a co-workers house (well, only the trim & gutters, etc.) and was curious as to what I should be paid. I'd never done a paint job before, and was curious what my rate should be. They had the materials, I brought the ladders, and 7 hours later the job was done. Any suggestions?

I have used moving boxes that come folded flat and when you push two diagonal sides, it pops up and forms a box ready for packing (No tape required to seal the bottom because there is a clever design of some interlocking thing at the bottom). Also, no need to seal the top because as soon as you fold three sides, the four size will tuck in two little slots. I would like to get some more of those boxes as they are so convenient.

Sorry if the description is not good but that's the best I can describe it :-)

Top of table is marked and contains Teak Oil from over 30 years of cleaning. How do I get this surface back to a "as new" look - legs and frame are OK. Do you sand it or strip it back and then apply scandanavian Teak Oil to return colour??

Im re-doing a small vanity floor that was carpeted AND pee-ed on by a cat. I've already pulled up the carpet & foam mat, but... the flooring (particle board) underneath still reaks of the pee. Please tell me a GUARANTEED way ( and preferably cheap, although beggers cant be choosers) to get this smell out without tearing out the floor. I've tried Bleach, vinager, fabreeze and I'm losing hope. PLEASE HELP ME. The smell is killing me !!!!

I have something that has spilled on my laminate flooring I just installed in April. It has warped. Is there a way it will "unwarp", or will I have to replace it? I thank you for any suggestions there might be that I can "dry it out" so it will unwarp without having to replace it.

Thank you in advance.

to get a dumpster for your house? I know you cant pay a fee to have one dropped off and then picked up after you have filled it up with debris. Does anyone know the average cost? It is a lot easier for me to do this because the dump is very far away from my house and I am thinking it would be more convenient and possibly cheaper.
