Hi Everyone,

Here is a test to see if you have a leaking toilet:
Add food coloring to the toilet tank (not the toilet bowl)
Do not flush for 30 minutes. If the water in the toilet bowl
changes color, you have a leaking toilet.

Hint 2:

Spill something on the carpet? First, soak up the spill with
a paper towel, then blot with a baby wipe or pre-moistened
facial wipe. Turn the wipe over on the stain until everything
is absorbed and the spot is gone. Then lightly rinse the area
with a damp cloth and let it dry.
