Hello, all! I just bought new slippers and am embarrassed to say that they already have an unpleasant smell. Does anyone have suggestions to remove the smell (without putting them in the washing machine, that always makes them all lumpy afterwards). Thanks for your suggestions :)

I have been saving jars to use for Christmas goodies, but I have hesitated to use them because I could never get the smell out. You know, like pickles, etc. Anyway, I came across this article, which talked about something I had never heard before-coating the lids. I knew the smell was from...

I'll just start with a quick intro, basically I've looked everywhere for good ways to strip the seasoning off cast iron, and failed. Why? I'm trying to help with a project (can't disclose too many details) but it's for a restaurant, and we've designed a cast iron grill. Everything about this...

Years ago dh paneled the bathroom with paneling that looked like tile. It is mostly white with some accents in the tiles. However we are in the process of trying to get the house ready to put on the market...and i feel that it needs to have the paneling removed and put a fresh coat of paint on...

I have a computer I'd like to sell, it has the XP operating system, lots of HD & RAM, and pretty recent software (in fact, I wouldn't have bought the new one if I'd started hanging out on this forum sooner!). My question: How do I clear out my personal information? I use my computer for...

Ok, this is probably an odd question, but... I got 2 Bibles as gifts from different people. They're both engraved with my name. And they both are the EXACT same translation. We live in a very tiny space and I can't see keeping two of the exact same book (translation in this case). Does...

Yesterday I stepped off of the curb onto our street when I was getting the mail. Our street was blacktopped about a week ago, and I thought it was dry, but, clearly not.... I spent the next half hour with an ice cube and a plastic knife, scraping tar off the bottom of my shoes. Well, during...

DD is loving her crayons and paper these days-- she wants to "write" all the time.  Well, you all know where this is headed--- yes, writing on things besides her paper.  :rolleyes: A friend suggested a I try a baking soda paste, and it worked like a charm!  The black crayon marks all over DD's...
