Sunday Tips!

1. Difficult Screws: If you're trying to remove a stubborn or stripping screw, try getting a rubber band and lay it across the slot in the screw. Press your drill or screwdriver into the slot, squishing the rubber band between the two. Try again to turn the screw now that the rubber markedly improves the grip and helps prevent some of the increased stripping.

2. When Mowing: For the average yard, a good rule of thumb is to only be cutting a 1/3rd of it at a time to promote its health and to avoid the yellowing that can sometimes happen.

3. Cleaning Indoor Mold: If you're trying to remove mold in your bathroom walls or grout, remember that bleach, while effective, cannot pe*****te surfaces well and will not kill the deeper, more critical parts of the mold. Skip the bleach and use white vinegar instead; it can kill the mold and will "run deeper" than bleach will.

CAUTION: If you have used bleach OR vinegar to clean a spot already, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE OTHER CHEMICAL. Vinegar and bleach combine to make an invisible, oderless gas that is potentially lethal. Use the absolute best ventilation possible when working with any chemicals and follow all instructions.
