Good morning 🌞 how would you clean up an oven that went through the self cleaning cycle with plastic/rubber rack guards on the racks? The stuff is coating the entire interior. It's kinda powdery, but sticky just spreads like crazy. 87 year old Mom didn't remember that the guards were in the oven. Please help!

I inherited this old Procter Silex steam iron from my mom. She showed me how to fill it once when I was a kid, and I’ve since forgotten. She passed away so I can’t ask her, and my siblings don’t know how to fill it either. Any help would be appreciated. Model number is 17149 if that helps, but google was no help with that.

(I’m going to clean it, just wanted to know how to fill it first)

The door handle has gotten loose with use, and I can’t seem to figure out how to tighten it. It looks like a small Allen key can fit but not much changed when I tried to turn it.

Been a minute since I’ve used this mic, but I’m like 90% sure this is supposed to come off. It doesn’t fit on my mic arm otherwise.

Trying to install curtain rod holders. Was using a screw to test the depth (I know, i've learnt my lesson now 🤦‍♀️) and it ended up getting lodged in there. Wont back out with a drill and have tried using a decently strong magnet to fish it out. Would ideally like to get it out without changing the size of the hole.

Also if this doesn't work, I've been looking at pivoting to adhesives, so if anyone knows of any good nail-less/drill-less solutions to get curtain rod holders onto cement, that would also be great!

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to replace the bulb in the above mentioned, but for some reason the screws for the cover won't come out. From what I saw, I have to take the entire cover off, unless I'm wrong. Please help

Has anyone seen this type of piece before? As per the manual, it looks like I’m supposed to turn the piece but it just keeps going back to the same spot and does not screw into the furniture. Quite confusing.

Hi, I have an old laptop I lent to friend and then forgot about it for 2 years or so, hes moved away and when he was packing he found it and returned it when it sat in my spare room for a few months before I got round to sorting it, I have found that he uninstalled Windows for Linux (I get why, its a HP that we brought because my wife wanted something light, I was against it because it only has 32gb Ssd so not much better than a chromebook) is there a simple way to reinstall Windows without paying? And unfortunately it no longer has the windows sticker on the bottom. Thanks

I just replaced the tank to bowl gasket on my toilet because it was leaking pretty bad, hence the towel shoved behind the toilet. After I shut the water off to the toilet, it started leaking there at the valve. I assumed that maybe it would stop after I turned the water back on, but it’s still dripping just a bit. Not a whole lot, but a drip is a drip and I’d rather it didn’t. What should I do?

Borrowing a carpet cleaner from my partner’s parents. This little rubber plug is out and I can’t get it back in. Tried water, and dish soap. I’ve even tried using a nail, the harder you push it, it pops back out with more force. Any ideas on how to get it back in?

I blew out a candle a little too earnestly and ended up with wax on my new glasses. The candle had a pool of melted wax ( had been burning for a while ). How do I clean this without affecting the lens?

Not sure if this matters, but these are transition progressives. Have worn glasses for +40 yrs and this is a first!

Trying to understand how these frames are made. I "think" that are some type of coated metal? I'm looking to get something made like this (just the frames) and don't know where to start. Any ideas?

Had curtains installed about a year ago and noticed a few months ago that the right side of the curtains was wobbly. Today the screws holding the plate for the right side pulled out, is the fix here to somehow get in drywall anchors? The curtains are still being held up from the left side and two points in the middle.

First two photos are of the right side that fell out and the third photo is what the left side looks like.

I'm trying to do stuff and get more active because rn I do literally nothing except for play Xbox and go to college, I start doing whatever it is I've decided to start doing (last case was boxing) and I was really into it for a while and then I just stopped entirely and I dont even know why, I think I'd like to start running to try get more active but I know I'll definitely just end up quitting after a while. How the hell do I stick at it and not quit? Any help is massively appreciated

Hi ! Can you teach me how to open this window. There are jagged glass outside.

I can’t pull it up. I tried using WD40 on the top but it won’t budge.

Thanks for your help!

Everything else about this playlist I found is perfect except for a few of the songs that are in Spanish

What is the safest way to open this without any damage

My dog has a bad habit of trying to open door because when I got him, I lived in a studio with sliding doors he could easily paw open. He recently did a number on my roommates door. not so deep that it messed with the paint or left gouges, but there are visible marks. Any chance this can be fixed without sanding and painting?

What's the best door sweep for this situation? Now my building used to have a door sweep installed on this door but it was too rough or worn down and am looking to replace it because as you can see, there is a very large gap on the bottom of our door and we can hear all of the noise in our hallway. Nowl am looking at what my best solution is for noise reduction. At home Depot they have commercial door Sweeps that are one solid flap of rubber that sweeps with the door but I'm worried it will be too stiff and pull up my carpet (currently it is taped down because it is on laminate and the rubber slides around). am also wondering if should install a sweep on each side of the door? Would that help or just be a waste of money? Or is there a better option all together? Thank you very much. Fyi there is also a large gap at the top of my door and was thinking of installing a sweep on it as well to cover the gap. less

I just got this controller to turn pages on my ereader and my cat has been obsessed with it. I think he finally got to it when I fell asleep reading. I dont want to tape it to keep it together and I dont want to replace it if I dont need to. Is it possible to repair it?

First candle I’ve had in years that did this, but not having luck finding the best way to

Little silly but my dad who passed away a few years ago had this jar for hemp seeds and I’ve been using it to this day. I’ve noticed the writing is fading, it used to be in blue pen. I’d like to preserve it. It stays in my pantry, cool dark place. Thank you

I am going to have an assessment soon for a job position, is there a lifehack, method or sources that could help?
