Cat Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors
I raise boxer puppies, so I know the frustration with the smell of urine. The best thing that I have found is called OUT!. You can purchase this at wal-mart in a small bottle for $8.50 and I have also found it at K-mart in a gallon jug for $12. Just spray it...

Homemade Cat Repellent
Desirae, For the smell that the male cat has left in your house, use OUT! it is by far the best product I have ever used. You can get it at walmart or Kmart (I buy it a Kmart, 11.99 for a gallon vs. 8.99 for 1/2 gallon at walmart). I raise boxers so I often...

Cigarette Smoke on Leather
I'm not sure if this will work but, you could try sealing the clothes in a garbage bag(with the hanger sticking out the top so you can still hang) and putting baking soda in the bottom of the bag to draw the smell out. I would think this would be worth trying...

Scars From Acne
Suadh, I use Proactiv, it prevents new acne and after about 2 weeks of use the old scars were barely noticeable. It is about $50 for a 2month supply, but defintely worth the money. Make sure that if you purchase this product that you get the "refining mask...

Dealing With a Hyper Dog
Joslin, check with your vet before taking her on long walks. We have boxers and our vet told us that short walks are great, but long walks should wait until they are at least 6 months old.

Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas
Dawn dishsoap is safe for animals (a lot of animal rescue organizations use it) and will knock the fleas down, but probably wont get rid of them completely. My dog has an allergy to fleas as well and the vet told me to give him over the counter zyrtec. Not...

Removing Black Scuff Marks On Floor
Mr Clean Magic eraser is the first thing that I would try. Works on almost everything and with not a lot of effort.

Dog Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors
I raise boxer puppies, so you can well imagine that I have encountered urine smells before. The best product I have found is called OUT! You can buy the small bottle at Wal Mart for $8.50 or a whole gallon at Kmart for $12.00. You just spray it on the floor...

Restoring Shine to Vinyl Flooring
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! That is what I use and then I use a floor cleaner for shining.

Painting Counter Tops To Look Like Granite
I painted my counter tops about 6 months ago. I didn't go with granite effect, but I did find an actual countertop paint at Menards for $20. It's made by rust-o-leum and they can mix it to 16 colors. So far this paint is super durable, I use scrubby pads and...

Housebreaking Older Dogs
I agree with the dog trainer. I raise boxers and sometimes take in foster dogs that have no training. Consistency is always the answer. I'm a firm believer of putting my dogs in their crates when I'm away or sleeping (except my 3 yr old who knows the rules...

Housebreaking Older Dogs
AB, also for your floors. I recommend OUT. I have found it at Walmart and Kmart. I takes the smell of urine out of old and new accidents, and will also remove the stains from carpets. My friend had a male cat that was marking in all the corners of her house...

Lip Balm Stains on Microfiber Sofa
My dog knocked a pan of vegetable oil off the stove, rolled in it and then rolled around on my brand new micro fiber couch to get it off. I used dawn dish soap mixed with water and a hard bristle brush and then used the attachment on my carpet cleaner to pull...

Repairing a Touch Lamp
Just FYI you can also buy the little kits at menards that will make any (metal) lamps touch lamps. All you have to do is screw the little component into the light socket and then put the light bulb into that - takes like 45 seconds.

Dog is Tearing Up the Carpet
I have a female Boxer who would do that when I left and then eventually she turned to breaking windows to get out. I thought the same as everyone else here that she was having separation anxiety, she was already getting lots of exercise and attention, so I...

Reviews of Bounce Dryer Bar
I bought one just to stick to the back of my bathroom door for a little bit of extra fresh smell. Works great for that! lol

Turkey in a roasting pan.

Saving Money on Buying a Turkey
My mom buys 6 or 8 additional turkeys every year when they go on sale. She gets our family together several months out of the year and we have a turkey feast and family reunion. We all love having a "Thanksgiving Dinner" in July and it is a cheap way for Mom...

Removing Sharpie from a Couch
I have used lighter fluid to remove magic marker when my kids were little. Just make sure you do a color fastness test on the back where nobody will see it.

Bubbles When Sealing Countertops
Brenda, I'm not sure what you've already done to your counter tops, but if you have to sand them down, you might benefit from Rust-o-leum counter top paint. Light sanding is all that is required to use this product and no sealer is needed. I just did mine a...

Dog Has Recently Become Aggressive
I raise boxer puppies so I have been through this several times. Most females will become aggressive with pups in the house. No matter who was "boss" before, the mother will always be the dominant one when pups are around, which is cause for the fighting. Hormones...

Bleach Residue on Drinking Glasses
Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. I have hard water with a lot of rust in it, about once a month I use this on all my dishes to remove the rust. I also use Calgon water softener for doing my dishes that leaves a residue which the magic eraser removes. Magic erasers...

Using Magic Jack With Satellite
Check the local area before you invest and sign a contract with a satellite service. We have hughes.net it cost $100 a month and isn't much better than dial up. We are locked into a 2 year contract.

Using Kilz on Nicotine Stained Walls
Karen, I just got done painting my kitchen cabinets. I sanded, cleaned them with "totally awsome" then primed them with Kilz. I had a horrible time covering the nicotine stains that kept coming through. I eventually had to primer, let it cure for 2 days then...

Cleaning a Glass Table Top
I have heard that white vineager works well.

Dog Urine Stain on Wool Carpet
I use OUT! stain and odor remover. I purchase it at Walmart or Kmart, but know that you can order it online as well. It does have to be checked for color-fastness. I raise boxers so I always keep it on hand. The best tool I have ever found. It has got some...

Permanent Marker on Paneled Walls
Mr Clean Magic Eraser should work, but so will lighter fluid.

Chemical Odor After Plumbing Work
I'm not sure if this will work, but try setting several bowls of baking soda in the room and close the door to see if that will absorb the smell. Change every couple of days with fresh baking soda. Good Luck
