    How to Prevent Concrete Cracks

    When cracks form in newly installed concrete, it’s often the result of accelerated drying from hot temperatures and sun exposure. Since the problem stems from a lack of moisture, the best way to prevent cracking is to apply a liberal amount of water both before and after setting the concrete.

    Cleaning With Bleach

    While bleach is an effective cleaner and sanitizer, it’s also a toxic chemical, so be sure to follow the proper procedure when using it to clean your home. Most importantly, dilute it to a 10 percent bleach/90 percent water solution, which will provide ample cleaning power without any hazardous side effects.

    Avoiding Unnecessary Caliper Replacement

    Replacing the brake calipers on your car can be pricey, but is it really necessary? The truth is that caliper replacement is rarely (if ever) needed, so if an auto repair shop recommends it, you should get a second opinion before making a final decision.
