Tips: - Making a chalk line is a snap: break up some kids' chalk in a plastic bag, drop in a piece of string, and you have your own chalk line.
- Rinse your floor after washing. Soap residue leaves a floor looking cloudy, and it attracts dirt faster.
- To find the source of a toilet leak, put a few drops of food coloring into the tank. If any colored water finds its way into the bowl, the flapper valve is faulty.
- A dampened paint stick is an excellent device for removing excess grout during installation.
- To cut the smell when you're painting with oil-based stain-killer, stir a spoonful of vanilla extract into the can of paint.
