Question: Steamed windows I have installed cellular shades. A great look but the windows fog up at night now that it is cold outside. I tried leaving them open a little but that just keeps the window from steaming in only that area. Any ideas? -- Marcy Dean marcydean@earthlink.net (Ref:0340)
Answer: Really another question, there are special coatings that prevent fogging, they are hydrophilic, i.e. they love water. -- AK

Question: How do I get wax out of carpet? I spilled wax from a candle on my carpet. How do i remove it w/out ruining the carpet? -- mountaingalbeth@aol.com (Ref:0342)
Answer: Removing Candle Wax from Carpets. Try using a steam iron, without water. Set the iron on cotton, with newspaper laid over the candle wax. As the steam is released, the wax will soak into the newspaper. May take a few tries to get the setting right, but has worked for a friend of mine. David -- dwm Feb 19 2007
