The handle can break or sustain damage because of corrosion and hard water stains. If this happens, the best answer is not cleaning it but replacing it. Find a replacement handle that matches your faucet model and simply install the new handle. It requires no plumbing skill at all, just a basic knowledge of the simplest of tools and about 15 minutes of your time.

Installing electrical lines on the outside of walls between junction boxes requires cable conduit. Conduit is a thin-walled metal pipe through which the wires run to keep them hidden from view and safe by not being exposed. The best way to attach a cable conduit to a wall is to use conduit straps. Conduit straps resemble a half-circle with a long flange. The half-circle part of the strap fits over the outside of the conduit with the flange flat against the wall.

Keeping your floors clean can be problematic simply because there's so much area involved. If you have tile floors, regular sweeping is a good start, but tiles and grout both pick up stains, and eventually, you need a liquid cleaner.

The vent for your toilet's septic system plays an important role in proper plumbing in your home. Vents are needed for toilets to drain because they provide air and a vacuum which is needed to actually flush your toilet.

This also allows easier access to sewer lines and the inside of walls where your vent will run.

If this happens, don't panic, you can remove grout sealer off of the tub by trying a few different methods.
