How to Remove Ball Point Pen Ink - BY YVETTE
To remove ball point pen ink; spray liberally with hair spray. The ink will dissolve on contact. Rinse with cool water and repeat. Test for colourfastness of fabric first to make sure it wont damage the fabric.
Clogged Sink - BY LOLAKEY
Before you buy a drain-o type product try this...

1. Put a generous amount of baking soda down the clogged drain.
2. Pour a generous amount of white vinegar (remember the volcanoes you made it elementary science projects? - this will be like that)
4. Wait for about 10-15 minutes
5. Flush with hot water

This usually works for me. On a really stubborn clog, you might want to repeat the process.
For Squeaky Doors and Hinges - BY CINDY C
I spray them with Pledge Furniture polish! It helps the wood and takes care of the squeaks!
Carpet Cleaning - BY HELENE
I don't own stock in Oxy-Clean but I can attest to its efficacy on carpet stains of all kinds, absolutely all kinds. I used the directions exactly, for my light carpet, and "EXACTLY" is the operative word here, and was able to remove stains that professional carpet cleaning outfits could not, and told me could never get out. While Oxy-Clean doesn't do much of anything for clothing stains and other things it promises, it is really miraculous on carpets.
