Fuel Stabilizer for Lawn Mower Storage

To prepare your lawnmower for winter storage, I fill the gas tank and add a fuel stabilizer. The fuel will be protected over the winter and the gas will prevent gaskets from drying out and cracking.
To make it easy at the end of the year, you can add a fuel stabilizer to your gas can every time you get gas. This will protect the gas in your can and your lawnmower throughout the year.

How to polish a laminate floor

An easy to use laminate floor polish is the Bona Laminate Floor Polish. It is a water based, non-toxic product. This polish provides a clear shine to improve the look of dull or worn laminate.
You want to clean the floor thoroughly before you apply the polish. Use a pad designed for polish and work in a cross hatch pattern. Allow to dry for 2 hours before walking on the finish. Allow 24 hours before replacing any heavy items.

Eelectrical testers for diy projects

The voltage tester that should be in every homeowners toolbox is a multimeter. This circuit tester will check AC current, DC, batteries and continuity. It is very handy for many diy projects. I would also have a non-contact voltage tester and an outlet tester. With these three devices, you can do most projects.

Paint additive to remove pet odors

I found an interesting product to remove cat urine smell. Urine odor is a difficult problem to solve. Regular cleaners don't always remove all the urine from carpet or wood floors. When urine evaporates, it attaches to moisture in the air and dust particles to be spread throughout the house. On humid days, you can smell the urine again, for years.
The Air-ReNu product is a blend of 27 natural earth minerals that releases negatively charged ions. The odor molecules attract these ions and they cause the air pollutants to become heavier than air and they fall to the ground, removing the odor from the air.
This is the same process that a few companies use to clean the air. The difference is that most of the other products come in a gel form and have to be replaced every few weeks or months. Air-ReNu says that by mixing their product into paint and covering your walls or ceilings, it will release these negative ions for 10 to 12 years.
I've used it in a couple projects so far and the homeowners have had positive reviews. I will update the video in the future with any feedback.
