Electric Smoke Detector Won't Stop Beeping
My smoke alarm chirped twice at 4 a.m., needless to say, it freaked me out (and woke me up.) I thought it was just a fluke, so I tried to go back to sleep. 10 minutes later it beeped at me 3 times. That is when I called the apartment emergency line. They were...

Faxing With Magic Jack

Cleaning Nicotine (Cigarette Smoke) Off Walls
I want to add to this for any people looking in the future. I have tried many products from Vinegar, Ammonia, TSP, Vapor Steamer, Simple Green and some others. TSP worked pretty well, but odds are it's not the same stuff as it was in the past. Many states now...

Using Vinegar And Water Solution In Carpet Cleaner
I've used just about every kind of carpet cleaner solution in my steam cleaner. None of them compare to one simple cheap solution, which is vinegar mixed with water. I use a solution of about 1 to 10 and am amazed at the results every time. It gets rid of spots...

Peppermint Oil for Mice Control
I heard peppermint oil also works on vampires.

Homemade Steam Cleaner Solution
After reading most of the feedback, I decided to try laundry detergent. In brief, it worked great. You still need de-foamer though. Also, rinses brought up a lot more dirt. I was using a RugDoctor with their cleaning solution and defoamer. Their solution is...

Adding Color to My Kitchen Walls
If the counters or cabinets aren't greenish in hue, then a very light yellow would be nice and won't grate on you over the years. If the kitchen doesn't get much sun, then light yellow walls make it "feel" sunnier, too. I would stay away from really strong...

Hydrangea Isn't Flowering
There are three possibilities for lack of flowering among the hydrangea species. The first two: "too much shade and improper pruning" apply to all hydrangeas, while the other "weather-related damage to flower buds" applies primarily to the big leaf hydrangea...

Freezing Homemade Cream of Potato Soup
@ Debbie-Jenn : Water bath canning is only safe for acidic foods with pH < 4.6 (eg. peaches, apples, tomatoes + citric acid). For non-acidic foods, water bath canning does not get hot enough to prevent the growth of botulism. Use a pressure cooker to can non...

ING Direct Savings Account Reviews
@ING Rep ING closes the account if a customer insults a representative over a phone call? Seems a bit harsh. They are large enough to know that it is expected to deal with all types of customers...even the angry ones. Else, that explains why there are so many...

House Paint on My Car
I had white paint from my garage door on my new red car, and I got it off with rubbing alcohol and a few cotton pads. Didn't even remove any clearcoat, though I'm probably going to give it a wax anyway to make sure it stays clean.
