Q: Locate the main supply line at the side of your house, or in the basement if you live in a cold climate. If your supply pipe is silver and magnetic, with threaded fittings, it's galvanized steel. Old galvanized pipes often clog with mineral buildup or corrosion, slowing water flow. Replacing these with copper or plastic pipes may solve your problem. A small pipe can cause problems if it can't meet your water needs. As a rule of thumb, the supply pipe diameter should be at least ¾" (19mm), or 1" (25mm) if it serves a 3+ bathroom home, while ½" (13 mm) pipes should only serve one or two fixtures. A plumber can give you a more specific recommendation based on your water use. If you've always had this problem, phone your water supply company and ask for your neighborhood's "static water pressure." If the answer is below 30 psi (2.1 bar / 21 meters of head), the city supply could be the problem. Purchase and install a water pressure booster to address this, or continue tot he next step.   Warning: If you have corroded or clogged pipes, boosting water pressure could damage or break them. Higher supply pressures may still be inadequate for a multi-story house or a house on a hill. 60 psi (4.1 bar / 42 meters of head) should be plenty even in these situations.  If your water supply comes from a well or gravity flow system, leave pressure adjustments to a professional. Find a pressure gauge that attaches to a hose bib from a hardware store. Make sure nothing in your home is using the water supply, including ice makers and running toilets. Attach the gauge to the hose bib to read the pressure.  If the pressure is lower than the water service claimed, it may be an issue with the water main. Talk to your water service and/or the local water municipality to find out whether you can get them to repair it. If you can't get the service to repair it, install a water pressure booster. Water pressure fluctuates along with demand. Try again at a different time of day to get a more accurate sense of the range.
A: Replace old supply pipes. Check pipe size. Address poor city supply with a water pressure booster. Test the supply pressure yourself.

Q: Bring your rug outside and hold it over the ground, shaking it back and forth so the dust and dirt falls off. This won’t remove all of the dirt, but it will help get rid of bigger chunks that aren’t so ingrained into the sheepskin. This will prevent your sheepskin rug from becoming matted after it’s wet. Use either a regular brush or a brush specifically designed for sheepskin. Work your way across the whole rug, combing out any knots.  A wide-tooth comb works well too. Work slowly and gently to prevent damaging the rug. Your rug should have come with a label attached to it, telling you how to properly care for the rug so it stays healthy and presentable. Read the label, looking for the recommended way to wash the rug, such as hand washing or whether it can go in the washing machine on the delicate cycle.  If you can’t find the label, don’t worry. Opt to hand wash the rug just to be on the safe side. If your rug is small, or about the size of a doormat, you can put it in the washing machine. If you have a larger rug, hand washing it is best. It may damage your washing machine or not wash well on a delicate cycle.
A: Shake your rug outside to get rid of excess dirt. Brush your rug before washing to remove any tangles. Read your rug’s label to see what kind of washing is recommended.

Q: For example, if you live in a hot country, you might want a pair of capris. Or maybe, you might like jeans/pants more than skirts, so you might want three pairs of jeans, three pairs of pants, and one skirt. That includes thrift stores!  Some discount stores carry name brands that were unwanted by the store. Discount stores include places like Burlington and T.J. Maxx. Everything is brand new and never worn. They also have cute clothes themselves. The best part? They even say how much money you save right on the price tag! Even if it's a bargain, it's of no use to you unless you will actually wear it. Stuffing clothes at the back of the wardrobe is a recipe for clutter and wasting money.
A: Adjust the shopping list to suit where you live, what you do and what you prefer. Shop at discount stores. Buy only what you need.

Q: Hydrocortisone 1% is a topical cream used to treat itchy skin conditions. Apply a dime-sized portion to any mosquito bite and wait a few minutes for the cream to take effect.  Clean the affected area before applying. Use up to four times a day. Do not use longer than seven days. For children under six months, consult a doctor. However, do not use hydrocortisone on children under the age of two or apply on the rectal or vaginal area of children younger than 12 years old unless you have been directed to do so by a doctor. An orally-ingested antihistamine, such as Benadryl, can alleviate mosquito bite symptoms. Follow the recommended dosage to stop yourself from scratching. You can even take this medication preemptively; if you know you will be exposed to a large number mosquito bites.  Dosage is based on your age, medical condition, and response to treatment, so follow the instructions on the packaging. For children under six months, consult a doctor. Similar to hydrocortisone, antihistamine creams are topical ointments used to treat skin allergies. You can use a topical antihistamine cream to treat mosquito bites. Just apply a dime-sized amount to any bites, and soon you will stop scratching.  Clean affected area before applying. Use up to four times a day. This should be used topically only, and not ingested. For children under six months, consult a doctor. Calamine lotion is famous for treating the wounds of chicken pox, but it can have a similarly soothing effect for mosquito bites. Use a cotton ball to apply the pink liquid to any mosquito bite. Calamine lotion is safe for babies. Isopropyl rubbing alcohol can be used to stop the itching of mosquito bites. Rubbing alcohol helps to ease inflammation and calm the itch. Furthermore, rubbing alcohol can disinfect the bite, reducing any risk of infection. Use a cotton swab to apply some rubbing alcohol to any affected area. Take care not to get rubbing alcohol in your mouth or eyes because this will cause irritation.
A:
Apply hydrocortisone. Take an oral allergy medication. Use an antihistamine cream. Use calamine lotion. Apply rubbing alcohol.
