Easy Fixes for 3 Household Problems!

1. Oil Stains on Garage Floor: 
  • sprinkle cat litter to soak up the stain
  • clear cat litter and using a stiff bristle brush, scrub with a paste of hot water and dry dish or laundry detergent
  • hose area and let dry
  • alternate method:  put Spray 'n Wash and dry detergent on stain for 10 minutes
  • last option:  spray on some oven cleaner and then wash down thoroughly
2.  Leaky Faucets:
  • Use a rubber washer, an O ring, or seals depending on what type faucet.
3.  Squeaky Stairs: (tread or horizontal surface of steps comes loose causing squeaking)
  •  If you can get under the staircase, attach an "L" bracket from the underside of the tread to the stringer (the long piece of wood that connects the treads and runs diagonally up the wall)
  • If you cannot get underneath the staircase, purchase a squeaky staircase kit which allows repairs to be made from above, even through carpet. Otherwise secure the tread to the stringer with a trim screw.
