One of my dogs has peed on it. I have already tried urine gone and it didn't work. Can I wash the cover in the washing machine on gentle cycle or will this ruin the cover? Please help! :)

We had a clogged toilet, and after we unclogged it, it started emitting gross smells. What is something you can put in/pour down to take the smells aways?

To help do my part in helping to save the Earth by reducing the amount of hazardous pollutants I personally use and/or produce, I was wondering if there was a place online that sells natural household cleaning products (dishwashing liquids, bathroom cleaners, floor cleaners, etc). If you know of any books that have recipes for making your own natural cleaners or you have any tips on making cleaners it would be greatly appreciated.

My t.v. is huge. How can I move it up from the basement of my house up to the upper level, by myself? Its not a flat screen, but it's not an old big screen either. I want to say its 45-47inches. I'm strong, so any ideas would help. Thank you!

I've just put out 5 full bags. Next door only seem to put out 2 and we have 1 less child than them. I recycle everything I can but seem to still throw out a lot. If the government brings in the "pay as you throw" I'm stuffed!

How many in your house and how many bags please?

I have a raised-ranch style home and burn a pellet stove in basement, it seems to dry out the house. Now my wood floors are beginning to creak and I think it's due to the stove. Do you think I need a humidifier? If so which type and what size would I need? Thanks

It's a concord blue - streptocarpella for you plant people. And it looked like it was doing great. I watered it before I left Friday and when i came back into work it was all brown and dead looking. I should note that my office is usually extremely hot - around 90 degrees. Could it have gotten too hot over the weekend? Or maybe it was the opposite -the heat was off and it got too cold??
I trimmed most of the brown stuff off and am left with a sad looking plant. Is there any way I can revive it? Any ideas on what happened so I can prevent it?

I live in a basement apartment near the utility room of my building. I have a gas oven/stove that works well. But I noticed my apartment always smells like gas. A friend came to visit and commented on it. I notice I wake up with headaches and my eyes seem bloodshot, but I'm not sure if that's just me being paranoid. Should I be worried?

I have a peice of property with a small house on it. The driveway is paved and then continues on as a dirt road and further up the road there are 2 stone foundations, which were obviously houses at some point in time. How can I find the name of this road or old maps/pictures-just to prove it existed? The abutting property was recently inherited and the new owner is disputing our land line. If I can figure out the details of this road it would solve everything.

I think it is a fruit cause it smells sweet. I found it at a park in reno Nevada. The tree was pretty tall and there were many of these fruits on the ground. It looks to me like a brain with bumps all over it. It is about the size of a medium size apple and some were larger. There are small wirery hairs sticking out of it all over. The inside is juicy and sweet smelling with seeds within. Is this a edible fruit or not?
I can take a picture of it if needed. I brought one home with me.

Any idea what they are, or how the heck they got in? need to know so I can tell the landlord, this is just number 35 on the list of serious problems with these new houses. Thanks for your help!

I just installed a programmable thermostat and was wondering what temperature it should be set at to be most efficient. Below are my questions:

- What temperature in the morning (7:00-8:30) should it be set too?

- What temperature in the day (8:30-14:00) when no one is home?

- What temperature in the evening (14:00-22:30) when we are
mostly home?

- What temperature during the night (22:30-7:00) when we are sleeping in our warm beds?

I also heard that it is more efficient to leave it on all the time because the energy used to heat a house 10' more, uses more energy than keeping a house at a constant temperature, is this true?

There is mold in my kitchen behind the stove and the cabinets caused by the leakage form the dishwasher. The leaky dishwasher was replaced by the management and they say they'll blow dry the area under the cabinets/counter and say that'll take care of the mold. Do you think this will help us? We are very worried that blow-dring may infact release more mold spres into the air. Do you think we should do this? The management is not ready to clean behind the counters because they'll have to pull down the kitchen counters for that.
Can somebody kindly advise? Should we consider moving from this place if the management says they cannot do anything for the area behind the cabinets?
Please help!!

I know it's late in the season for some areas and the stores here in Southern California are not selling nectar due to that fact that it is considered seasonal. I still have hummingbirds coming to my feeders and would like a good natural recipe for nectar. I am spending more time at home these days and watching the hummingbirds are a part of my day while I meditate, reflect and work out a plan for what path I will walk next.

How do I go about reporting a plumber that's operating with no license? He only works in small/large business' and new buildings. He states that he's retired and hasn't renewed his license for this reason but in reality, he's never had a license and doesn't follow any codes or regulations set by the state and county. Where should I go to report him?

This is in the USA.

We have a home security system that was installed 13yrs ago.
The company is out of business. The alarm system is hooked up throught the phone line for monitoring that is not in service.
We have cable, along with the digital phone which is ran through the cable.
Whenever cable goes out, the alarm sounds.
Is there a way to disconect the phone line from the alarm system?
There is a locked box in one of the closets and I cannot get into it unless I break it, which then I don't know what will happen and not too sure what wire to cut.
Cable company and phone co. have no answers. Alarm companies tell me it's not their system, so I am out of luck there.
Any electrical techs out there to help me?
