Home Improvement Facts

Gain additional home improvement knowledge using these helpful home improvement DIY facts.

  • When using caulk to seal the joint between the wall tile and a bathtub, fill the tub with water first. The weight of the water will open the gap to the size it’ll be when the tub is in use. Otherwise, the caulk’s seal could break the first time you take a bath.

  • Fresh is best! Prepare your bedroom for cold weather with freshly laundered winter linens and blankets and a clean mattress pad. Save yourself a step next spring and wash summer linens before you store them away. Not only will they be clean when you reach for them, but if you use lavender sachets in the closet or between the linens while stored, moths will be less attracted to the space.
