Washer Rinse Water Has Terrible Odor
When I wash clothes and the washer is in the rinse cycle, the water has a terrible odor to it. This happens load after load and has been that way for a couple of months now. The tap water in the sinks does not have an odor. Any suggestions?

Eliminating Water Hammer
We replaced some washers in a dripping tap and now we suddenly have "water hammer" a loud shuddering noise when water turns on, especially from the washing machine. We have installed "anti water hammer washers" in an attempt to get rid of it, but to no avail. A little help?

Use Soda Pop Bottle for Clogged Drains
I was helping my friend clean a bathroom that had a clogged basin drain. After the two of us polished off half a two-liter bottle of diet pop, I filled it with water, matched the opening of the bottle to the drain opening and mashed the bottle firmly.

Use Bleach Once a Month to Keep Drains Clear
We recently paid a plumber $95 to clean a clogged bathtub drain. All our home remedy tips did not free the clog. In fact, we even had to have them get the "snake" that we had used out of the drain because it was lodged in and we couldn't get it to move.
