Clothes dryers are a convenient way to dry your clothing at home. Some items of clothing may be damaged when tumble dried and should not be put in most clothes dryers. Frigidaire designed a dryer rack for use in its dryers that allows users to dry items without tumbling. In addition, the dryer rack is convenient when you are not available to remove the clothing immediately when the drying cycle is complete, which reduces the chance of wrinkling.
An electric dryer uses a heavy-gauge power cord with three or four prongs to connect to a round 220V wall socket. The heavy cord terminates at the appliance with three or four metal connectors that attach to the terminal block inside the dryer. Each wire connector slips over a threaded bolt on the terminal block and is secured by a brass nut. The nuts are typically 1/4 inch in diameter, although you can measure the bolts on the terminal blocks to be certain.
Wood tables and accessories contain a finish that protects the wood from becoming warped and damaged. A catalyzed lacquer finish is one such coating that protects wood from moisture, discoloration and temperature changes. The finish is durable, clear and contains a shine, but like other coatings, is not immune to dust, dirt and grime buildup, as well as to scratches. Catalyzed lacquer finishes need regular care, including polishing and cleaning, to keep the wood's surface looking like new.
The relative strength of IKEA cabinets compared to their cost is an incentive toward the purchasing them rather than other brands. However, if you’re planning to store large amounts of dishware, heavy ceramics or tools, reinforcing the cabinet’s strength during installation is wise.

When properly reinforced, IKEA cabinets provide many years of reliable service.

Composite decking is a low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decking. Composite decking is composed of a mixture of wood and plastic and offers the look of wood without the high maintenance involved with wood planks. Using composite decking on a concrete foundation requires a frame for attachment. You can create this frame using a series of treated wood 2-by-4s. Securely attached to the slab, the frame creates a stable platform for the deck that's easier to nail into than the concrete itself and flexes along with the concrete, keeping the composite decking from cracking should the slab shift.
American Iron and Steel Institute grade 1026 steel is a low carbon or mild steel with a very simple chemical composition. The steel can have a carbon content of up to .28 percent and still qualify as grade 1026 steel according to AISI standards. The carbon content is typically lower than this, however. The steel is relatively inexpensive to produce because it has a comparatively simple composition. Many industries use AISI 1026 steel, as it is easily welded, machined and forged.

Polish introduces more chemicals into your home, but without it, dust just scatters. Static dusters draw dust to them -- almost like magnets.
