Moths that thrive on wardrobes full of cashmere, wool, fur and other fabrics made from animal hair are a bane to many people. But there are plenty of ways to protect your clothes without resorting to mothballs.

Cleanliness is the first — and best — line of defense, said Cheryl Ann Farr, a professor of textiles and clothing at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla., because dirty clothes are often what attract moths in the first place. Moth eggs, larvae and adult moths can all be killed by a hot-water wash cycle or by dry cleaning. And any that remain in the closet can be vacuumed up or removed by scrubbing. (more…)

New rules for lead paint removal go into effect April 22, adding a bit more time and cost to some home renovations.

The Environmental Protection Agency will require all contractors be certified to take out lead paint. Previously, no certification was required and homeowners could ”opt-out” of lead-safe practices if no children under six years old or pregnant women lived in the house.

The EPA estimates the new rules will add an hour to project clean-up and add just under $100 per job for most renovations. The agency estimates about 38 million homes and apartment units, or 40 percent of the housing stock, contain lead paint. (more…)

They may not be powerful enough to heat large, drafty rooms on their own, but portable heaters are good for saving energy if you use them to heat only the room you are in, and turn the temperature down in other rooms. They also work well as personal space warmers while you read or watch TV.

The model from Holmes, a 15-inch mini-tower, produced the hottest air and took only about 20 minutes to warm up the room by 10 degrees. It can be set to either high or low, or to a specific temperature between 60 and 80 degrees, in increments of 5 degrees. As the grill heats up, it changes color to remind you that it is hot, which is good because it’s not one you want to touch. (more…)
