You can do quite a few quick easy home repairs without breaking the bank or taking too much time.Repair 1: You think to your self I would love to relax and take a bath today, but then you look at your bathtub. It is somewhat gross looking with stains and it needs a good cleaning. Do not fear this is an easy fix and all you need is some cream of tartar, baking soda and lemon juice. Create a paste by mixing cream of tartar, baking soda and lemon juice and rub the mixture into the stain. Now let it sit for half hour and then rinse well with water.Repair 2: While waiting for your mixture to finish in the bathroom, you can fix your stuck sliding windows. All you need is silicone spray lubricant, which can be easily purchased at a hardware store. Spray a rag and wipe the tracks, no matter if they are metal, wood or plastic and you will grease the skids.Repair 3: Scuffed linoleum can be an embarrassing problem that you can fix by trying to cover with an area rug.

Afterwards, degrease the area with liquid dishwashing soap and water.Repair 4: Fixing a leaky faucet is an easy repair that can save you some money and your sanity. First, you must figure out why you have a leaky faucet so you can solve the problem the first time correctly. Secondly, remember to shut off the water usually the shut-off is in the basement or the laundry room. Unscrew the faucet to find your problem and most likely, a deteriorated washer is the reason you have a leaky faucet. If so then replace your washer and you have easily fixed your problem.Repair 5: To prepare for the upcoming season you must clean out the fireplace before its’ first use. First, remove the grate, vacuum up the ash and shoot and then scrub the sides and bottom of your fireplace.
