How do I remove rust stains from a brick patio.
I had a brick patio installed last fall and left my metal lawn furniture on it over the winter. To my surprise some of the furniture was rusting and there are some rust stains on the bricks below the furniture.

Do you think my belongings got roach infested.
I recently moved into apartments. I am very clean and organized (OCD, actually). Everything I brought to the apartments was brand new. Furniture was brand new. Bed was brand new. Even my hangers were brand new.
Unfortunately, after a couple of days I noticed a few cockroaches. The office had sprayed my apartment before I moved […]
Ok, brackish question.

I am the worst interior designer ever but I’m moving in with my boyfriend this summer (into a flat I own) and I’d like to put our stamp on it.
Since he is getting the spare room to play his Xbox etc in (he’s renamed it the ‘games room’) it’s been agreed that I’ll redecorate the […]
What you shouldn’t clean your car with.
I cleaned some stubborn marks off the paintwork using Ajax which is a bathroom cream cleanser, without thinking maybe I shouldn’t use that. It has left shiny spots on my car. This cleanser shouldn’t be used on anything except tiles because I’d used it on wood furniture where it also left a permanent shiny spot. […]
