Question from janicedb
Hi Debra
I ordered your bathroom renovation project info and it was so helpful in re-doing our bathroom. What started out as a simple project resulted in our having to re-do the whole bathroom after a serious leak was discovered. Thanks for all the great info.
We’re tackling our old windows next. Do you or any readers have any advice on which replacement windows are better for chemically sensitive people. I like wood frame windows but know that the wood could be treated with pesticides and toxic preservatives and I understand that the fiberglas windows have been problematic for some as well.
Also any caulk recommendations for around windows?
Also our washer died a few months ago and I purchased a new Maytag Bravos washer. Two weeks later I still was getting sick from the offgasing. The problem seemed to be the rubber hose that is packed inside the new washer. No matter how I cleaned the tub or how many cleaning cycles I ran through, I couldn’t get rid of the smell. I returned it and asked about washers that didn’t come with hoses inside. I bought a basic top loading High Efficiency whirlpool washer Model# WTW4950XW0 from Lowe’s and I love it. I just left the window open in the basement for a couple of weeks until the new smells dissipated. It’s worked out really well.
